mrs no it all, i cant punch myself in the head, because i broke my hand. lets just say i hit something. and he cant file charges... cuz hes a vegitable, and the only one who hypothettically saw me. actually i should say hes a hypoythettical vegitable. i am currently tyyping with my left hand, and my right index finger.
and to tea cup, retard is not a derogatory term. the only readon u think so is because u canadians are so retarded, your country's mascot, which u put on a flag, is a leaf. california and mexico have a bird and a bear. u have a leaf. and u wonder why people call u retarded

Depends on the state. Depends on if you mean criminal or civil.
And Assault (as a tort (which is civil law))
Is intentionally striking a person and causing an injury.
A Battery is the attempt (by the way).
There is no such thing as battery in most Criminal Statutes. There is assault and attempted Assault.
So it would be assault. And if you caused retardation in New York that would Assault in the Second Degree (which is a Felony), because there is serious physical injury.
Statute of limitations is tricky also. If the person is under 18 (the age of Majority) it does not begin to run until they reach 18.
Intentionally torts have a 1 to 6 year SOL (depends on the state) New York it is 1.
Criminal acts have 1 to no SOL. In New York it starts at 1 year and increases depending on the level of crime (which is typical for most states as well.)
And if he CANNOT file a complaint against you the SOL will not run until he can.
As for the criminal act, if he is a vegtable, like you claim, you could be charged with attempted muder, which has no SOL in most states.
And in ALL states you are responsible for all the injuries, even if you could not resonably forsee that it was possible.

That depends upon whether the victim filed charges against you or not.
Yes, you could be charged with assault and battery against another. Here's an experiment for you to do... try hitting the back of your own head and see if you can become retarded or something like that. Then, ask yourself the above question.

there is no statute of limitations that is assault and battery and in some states a felony which is automatic jail time plus if you hit them hard enough to cause retardation then they could also say attempted murder even if it wasnt because if you hit them so hard it causes retardation then it could probably be considered as that

Well, you basically just set yourself up for a witty remark such as,
"There are no statute of limitations. Once you smack someone toward retardation, they'll pretty much stay that way."

I'd shut up about it, especially if they became President.
It's true that Canada doesn't use the word officially, though they should now given who is its Prime Minister.

There is no statute of limitations on this. It will be battery for sure, however it will be assault only if you did it on purpose.

Hypothetically or not that's a lousy thought and so is calling someone a retard.Canada dropped that word years ago.
