"What should I do? Should I report this? If so, to whom? "
You mean what should you have done? Assuming you are a guy, why wouldn't you have kicked his ass? You sat there while this guy sprayed whatever all over. And then you asked what you should have done. Simply amazing!
"Almost without exception, social scientists are telling us that Americans are more violent than in the past. They cite statistics. Yet anyone who observe the goings on in the cities with his own eyes knows that it is not so. The American man in the street is now infinitely less pugnacious, less ready to take offense and hit back, than in the past. We used to fight in the streets, in saloons and on the job. You had to watch what you said lest you have your teeth knocked in. But just now the majority of Americans are afraid to open their mouths. They will not get into a fight no matter what you call them or do to them. They are afraid to get angry."
Crap! I'm late for anger management class. I have a D average.

Uh, because I would have probably gotten my ass kicked, tough guy. Besides that, if the guy really had something hazardous, then I don't see how it would have been prudent to go rolling around on the floor with him thus exposing myself to even greater concentrations. Actually, I am more afraid of my wife than this guy - she would have killed me if I did something as stupid as you suggest.

Have you been to the People's Republic of Santa Monica lately?

Very astute observation. I agree. We are actually scared of disagreement that may result in confrontation.
