Agree with your post, 100%.

Whether it's water, a pie, or something more sinister, it is a violation of his (or anyone's) person, and these "pranksters" should be arrested for assault.

See I would handle it differently. You got these damned body guards around right? I would have them all armed with super squirter water guns and douse these idiots who want to play jokes.

I would make sure also one of the guards handed me my squirt gun and I would make sure the camera had plenty of pics of me shooting and laughing saying "gee this is lots of fun."

Many, many moons ago when I was a wee lad in the second grade, my teacher (whom I had a huge crush on) was assaulted over Christmas vacation by her ex-husband who sprayed battery acid in her face when she answered her door.

In the same way that I believe a person has the right to kill an attacker in a dark parking lot or somebody that breaks into your home, I believe that anyone like these creeps who maliciously attack others and then feign innocent fun should be subject to the same kinds of potential penalties. If the law was written to define assault as including threatening and aggressive invasive acts where foreign materials were sprayed or thrown on a person, well, maybe these scumbags would decide that the 60's leftist notion of guerrilla theater is a bad policy.
