I have experience since a family member has also studied law for the last 7 years or so and yes an assault took place but the fact remains that it would simply be a waste of Grace and Susies time and a waste of court time. There are killers out there, rapists, people who put others in hospital and they are the type of cases that should go to court and not be filled up with meaningless petty assaults. Things like happy slapping are much more serious and can have long term effects on the person.
If you look at Tom Cruise when he got squirted with a water pistol that is showing how a joke can go wrong. I am not disagreeing that is it an assualt because we all seen it I am just saying there are more pressing crimes than chucking water over someone. For me there is alot of red tape surrounding the law and you will no doubt see that in the next few years, how the laws can be twisted and bent so often and nothing is done etc. But anyway thats another subject lol
