Fighting on Property
 
Scenario: Two people are at a house. Person A is related to the people who own the house, Person A does not live there or depend on the people who own said house.

Person B is there regularly. Person A and B get into a small argument over a seat, Person A resorts to violence.


Is Person A protected by law by the fact that people in his/her family own the land he fought on, or is Person B, the one gets battered, protected by the law and able to seek a lawsuit.

The only evidence available is Person A's family's statements.


Discuss.

It also largely depends on the country. It would help if you stated where this happened. Another factor is the intent of Person A. Why would he harm Person B? Was Person B harassing him? If so, then Person A could be protected on grounds of self-defense.

If not, then it's obviously considered assault.

Let's say USA, Florida.

Person A has a rapsheet for meth charges and burglary. The dispute is over a particular seat. Person B is sitting, Person A wants to sit there, Person B refuses to get up.

Since Person A was the first one to hit, he's the one who gets penalized by law. He enjoys no immunity from the property. It's not his house, so he has no right to send Person B out. Also if the police find he's an actual criminal, he's screwed.
