You won't be charged with a 2nd degree assault if you were defending yourself/ family member, etc. He obviously cares more about acting a fool, then his occupation, and that's his right. It's also his right to be removed from the general public, and stay in a controlled environment like a UPS facility to load/unload trucks. Let a more "level headed" individual take his previous driving position, and the law abiding citizens can feel that much more safer.
