I think someone who lets an assaulter get away with assault would have to be a lot more tolerant than the person committing the assault.
I think a person who puts someone in jail for throwing milk at someone is a piece of shit. We both have our opinions. Then again, I grew up in a harder nastier school environment. You learned to take your licks and move on.
You didn't whine like a baby when getting treated poorly by people who didn't like you. You learned stoicism. This is much much worse than whining.
Well, even if this was deliberate, I can admit throwing the person in jail was excessive. But I am curious now, was this deliberate?

It's assault that should be punished by, "You shouldn't do that. Go home. We're charged you for dry cleaning."
I would say "I know that what you just did is technically illegal. but considering the circumstances, I'll let you off if you promise to never do it again and go home right now."
She did do it again. She was arrested after assaulting him a second time.

I wouldn't call this "assault" though. Public nuisance is a better word.

Again, compare charging someone for assault vs. committing assault. It's hilarious how the woman committing assault has become the victim for having to face legal consequences.

Yes, how dare she splash milk on him! If he was lactose-intolerant, he might have DIED! D8
Throwing shoes, splashing milk, this is not on par with knives and cars and bombs.
I guess if a woman throws her drink at a creep in a bar she should be imprisoned for assault with a deadly weapon, huh? SO MUCH FOR THE TOLERANT LEFT!!1!

Again, compare charging someone for assault vs. committing assault. Maybe more slowly this time, and without the straw men.
Again, I think this could be filed under "public nuisance," not an outright assault. Milk is a liquid. It's harmless. I think that Republican is being the triggered snowflake. An assault charge would never stick. Isn't that defined under physical violence? At least, I hope not...
