Spray someone in the face with anything, even water - that’s assault.
No justification.
It's long been noted that the USSC in Roe v. actually legalized the practices of ROOT WORKERS so we should not be surprised to find such people still involved in the business ~
I gotta agree with you, even though I have visions of the wicked witch of the west melting at the touch of water.
There were people who sprayed pro-lifers with urine (or at least that’s what it looked like in the spray bottles) during Operation Rescue protests outside abortion clinics.
If you are representing Christ and trying to be a witness for Him, there is no need to use the enemies methods when praying at an abortion clinic.

The pro-bort escorts were burning noxious voodoo herbs ... the anti-bort knew she would be harassed by the noxious acrid burning stuff and had the water spray to knock some of the smoke out of the air... I suspect the burning was done in the right spot to carry the smoke right at Mrs. Fecteau.
