    Actually it qualifies as life threatening because you could knock someone unconscious or even kill them with a skateboard.

    fast forward to the end of the article:



    Antifa Appears To Have A History Of Using Skateboards As Weapons | The Daily Caller

    Some poster in here sloughed that attack with a skateboard, almost referring to it as inconsequential
    In his interview with Hannity, Kyle describes in great detail, the skateboard attack. And how the assailant had the skateboard gripped by the trucks. I did a LOT of skateboarding as a kid, and even young adult, I know exactly what gripping a skateboard by the trucks feels like. It's a very firm grip, and could easily make the skateboard an effective environmental weapon. I can see how it could be customized to be even more effective.

    Two reasons, I think.

    1. It also serves as a getaway vehicle if the person needs to outrun a pursuer. A good skateboarder can get up to about 20 mph with minimal physical output. Someone chasing on foot will wear out more quickly.

    2. A person can wield a lot of force with a skateboard strike -- not as much as with a bat --but enough to kill.

    Yes, they can also do damage with many other items, but they think they look "cool" skateboarding around in the midst of chaos. Carrying a bag of feces isn't nearly so impressive.

    Oh yes. You can definitely generate enough force to strike someone hard enough to kill them with a skateboard.

    It's happened before.
