you know as well as i do that it;s not the popcorn that is the issue-
[[Throwing popcorn is not turning a fight physical.]]
I’m sorry- but it is a case of ‘disturbing the peace’- it can be interpreted as ‘challenging someone to a fight’, and does constitute physical contact- no matter how slight- it’s not a matter of degree- it’s a matter of law- You do not have a right to throw water on someone- or anything for that matter- UNLESS you are defending yourself-
You don’t have a right to throw water on someone, but that’s not a lethal threat. Face it, it’s murder. Not first degree, but murder. He killed a guy for the sole and simple reason that he’s a confrontation addicted jerk.
