The mature thing to do if the threat has passed is to notify police and hope they take action
As far as I'm concerned if someone throws anything in your face you are fully justified in decking them.
But unfortunately the law is not on my side.
I'd settle for the police merely taking such things seriously. Throwing food at someone should earn you at least a night in jail and maybe some community service. It is utterly antisocial, unacceptable behavior and the fact that people are doing it on video and getting no repercussions at all sickens me.

*"The problem with the milkshaking is you cannot retaliate. If someone milkshakes you and yoylu break their nose, you will go to jail for assault because it is not self defense unless their is immanent danger."*
I disagree. A threw substance on B. A only knows they were attacked. It wasn't until the cops pulled me off that I realized it wasn't dangerous.
And yes, I have been there and done that. At best, you both go, your charges are later dropped...
And that's what happened in my case. (It was coffee, but it was cold.)
Now with Portland raising the stakes, the threshold is significantly lowered.
That also gets into the debate of wether to punish the outcome, the action, or the intent. If you through a milkshake at someone and the straw stabs them in the eye and they have blindness in one eye. Is the punishment still one night in jail?
You also dont have to worry about criminal charges, there is also the civil courts if you break their nose
Doesn't matter. You threw the milkshake to begin with.
Sue back.
Although in San Fran you'll probably loose... 😒
It does matter, if the milkshaking is being positioned as a non assault crime
And they claim the threat has been passed
Then your involved in retaliation, not self defense
It's still battery; ¿Misdemeanor battery? Maybe. But still battery... And you don't wanna get hit, don't swing first.
I know what it is legally, and i also know how the police in a portland would treat it
Your retaliation will be viewed as an escalation
¿Are you strictly focusing on isolated cities, or in general?
What.
In general the tactic of "milkshaking" is a tool to coherse people into an escalation of violence. The milkshaking is not the goal
That’s gross
Is that a wart on his foot
You're harping on a non-existent issue.
No harping, i stated the point. You are countering with what you think is morally correct not legally correct. I agree that morally a milkshaking deserves a kick to the nuts
No, actually that is the law; You are allowed to defend yourself as long as you perceive the threat continues to exist.
