Assault

[Shtirliz]

допустим, я не знаю о хисторы этого человека
что если я его (ее) вижу впервые?
допустим, это клиент, по какой-то причине обиженный на компанию, в которой ты работаешь, но отрывается на тебе

Тогда луче [IIED], полюбому...осовенно если вас разделяет перегородка;)

if I had to decide (as a lay person sitting on a jury), I'd say - no, unless the words shouted were something like: I'm going to kill you now!!!!

what about something like "wait until you come outside"

As a lay person, i would side with whoever is more physically attractive.:cool:

well, if this is a big guy shouting at a small girl, than appearance matters, her fear becomes more reasonable the bigger he is

ок
в этом случае, если я звоню в 911, этого человека заберут в тюрьму? если да, на каких основаниях? уж точно не на IIED - it's civil case, right?

It wouldn't work then. Here's why: in a true assault you can not take cover. Everything is happening so fast , you cant take evasive measures or retreat.

In your scenario it's obviously not the case: You can simply not go out side, while you call for help.

what if it is a woman with long nails, she is waving them in front of your face and you feel very apprehensive that she is about to scratch you

Unless it's her who is assaulting....or she has a kitchen knife in her little hand.....and she's lunging.

but Illinois law does not require the harm to be imminent ;)
