Taking one for the team?!?!

Cocktail lounge employee SPITS on Eric Trump: President's son slams 'disgusting' woman after she was taken into custody by the Secret Service following vile confrontation in Chicago
-------
She inaudibly muttered something that sounded like it was anti-Trump before spitting at the president's son.

Secret Service agents then took her into custody in handcuffs, but Eric decided not to press charges and she was released.

Now - I do not advocate violence of any sort - but gotta tell ya - the more they realise how despised they are, the better of we will all be. And also - how magnanimous - about not getting her charged - what exactly where the Secret Service going to charge her with - reasonably understandable lack of judgement in the face of Nazi provocation????

Assault. Battery if the spit actually hit him. Aggravated battery, a felony, if the spit hit a Secret Service agent.

she should have stuck with a verbal assault, it may have been more effective also.

I can’t find any fault in what she did. It wasn’t like he was on fire.
