     I disagree w/ his politics.
     However, as funny as this might be at first glance, attacking people running for public office in democratic elections should be punished to the maximum extent of the law.
     It endangers democracy itself.

     In Germany, for instance, attacks on some politicians have led several, in particular on a city or town level, to step down or not run for office again.

     Apart from this, what an insane snaphot from a photographer's angle!

     @HistoPol @KJ7OFH @w7voa One side is making death threats against jurors and judges. The other side throws a milkshake.

     They are not the same, troll

     In general, OFC, in many jurisdictions:

     "...In the context of throwing a drink, if the liquid or container contacts the person, it could potentially be considered both assault and battery."

     "The penalties for throwing a drink on someone can vary:

     Misdemeanor Charges: Most cases where a drink is thrown at someone are likely to result in misdemeanor charges, including fines and/or short-term imprisonment...

     ...Aggravated Assault: If the act results in serious physical injury or involves a dangerous substance, it could escalate to aggravated assault, a more severe felony charge."
