  You have no idea whats thrown at you in the moment, and you think its okay to just let someone do that to you? Agreed, punching someone in the face sounds like an overreaction, but I know my reaction to having shit thrown at me would be to immediately make sure it doesn’t happen again.

    Are we talking like literally human feces or like a glass of water?

    So if someone throws a drink at you you immediately think you just got covered in diarrhea?

    Let’s talk about that.

      Right after we talk about your need to make poor assumptions.

  No, my points are valid, not conjecture.

  Your are making the point that she didn’t deserve to get hit because she assaulted him.

  No, it very obviously didn’t hurt him but if someone threw a drink at me, I would respond with like treatment or worse. This is the real world, let’s treat it like it is and not beat around the bush about it.

  As I mentioned before though, it’s possible (and likely) that he started the whole thing though. Without more context though we don’t know. Either way, if she assaulted him, and he started it, they are both acting stupid, plain and simple.

    It’s possible you might be a violent type. I cannot imagine breaking someone’s nose over something that ‘obviously didn’t hurt’.

      It’s possible, but fortunately I’m not.

      It doesn’t matter if it hurt or not. The point is, if someone were to assault me I would defend myself because I would immediately be put into a position where I need to consider what this person is about to do.

      Inb4 “but it didn’t hurt, it’s just liquid”, that isn’t the point. Should it be ok for people to just throw liquid on you? Ahh so just go tell the cops so they can do nothing or if you’re even less fortunate that you’re already dry at that point and that person is long gone.

      So what is the right solution here? I seriously doubt you would just walk away if someone walked up to you and threw a cup of whatever in your face.

        Kinda, yeah. It’s pretty funny when people throw milkshakes at politicians. Getting wet should not result in violence or police in my opinion, provided the liquid is harmless. It’s also somethimg that happens by accident very easily and people overreacting to that and getting violent is a bigger problem than a ruined shirt. Not that i throw liquid on people, i just think people need to calm down, it’s not an attempt on your life. I would certainly yell but throwing punches seems like an unnecessary escalation.
