>>If a code pink hippie hits you repeatedly with their sign, aren’t you allowed to smack them in the chops? It would seem to me an excellent course of action. And it would feel good too.
Then the police would, in order to remain “neutral”, arrest YOU for assault and battery while the pinko proceeded to hit someone else repeatedly with their sign.

Probably, but I would think video showing you being assaulted prior to defending yourself would be an air tight defense. That, combined with filing an assault charge against the hippie would be soooo worth it.
