So if someone sprays silly string on me, even on purpose, I can haul off and hit them in the face as hard as I can?
I believe that I would be the one going to jail.

And, given you aren't in a lefty-lib cesspool of a state, you can defend yourself against an assault. Here in Texas, you would probably be no-billed for doing so, given that you're not at a birthday party where silly string is being passed out and you are present by consent.

If it's a typical militant irresponsible OWS bunch of criminal losers, then yeah.
If YOU are the target, you can assume it's harmless silly string; your choice.
An LEO on the job? Not so readily. In a crowd that experience has shown there are mostly criminals, I give totally the benefit of the doubt to the cops.
