Very true. As a Jew, shouting “gas the Jews” at me would be highly offensive and would qualify as hate speech with an incitement to violence, but he might be able to get off on First Amendment grounds. But spraying a mystery substance on people while shouting this? Even if the mystery substance ends up being benign, that’s still assault.
he also sprayed them with something which is much more illegal
