Why not?! Isn't assault with a deadly weapon a crime in the US any longer?

My guess is they used stuff like eggs, hardly deadly.

Even so, I have no idea why someone wasn't charged with harassment and/or assault.

I have no problem with protest. Protesting, however, must be verbal/visual only.

Good point...I was picturing rocks...but it might have been less dangerous...or it could have been rocks and bricks...I don't recall seeing it covered in the article.

Correct, even if it were eggs it's still be assault. Liberals are so illiberal.

Correct...a subtlety that seems lost on liberals.

Why not call it a “Hate” crime. It seems like we can make people’s emotions a crime.
