No joke. Assault is assault.

Turning a heat lamp on is not assault. In the winter it would have been requested.

If the area illuminated by the heat lamps was Hyatt property, the owner had every right to illuminate the property any way it saw fit -- and the picketers were trespassing.

The same goes for turning on sprinklers when trespassers are trampling your lawn (which has been demonstrated to be an effective and legal protest deterrent).
