For those familiar with the intricacies of criminal law, maybe they can answer this question.
Isn’t spitting on someone considered a form of assault, no different than throwing a punch?
There are certain things that one can justifiably hit back for as a form of self defense, obviously one is being hit or attacked physically, but I believe spitting falls in that category.
There are very few things that would set me off now that I’ve learned to control my emotions unlike when I was a teenager. But I think if someone spit on me I might not be able to help myself, to be honest. I hope I would, but it’s hard to say because that’s like one of the most disgusting things a person can do to you.
