Did you know that throwing shit at someone in anger, they can actually have you charged with assault with a weapon?

Yes, same with spitting or other bodily fluids.
If someone was spitting at you, you can legally beat on them until they stop, self-defense. 'reasonable force' are the key words though.

Reasonable force is difficult to try in a hearing though.

I just learned it while reading my textbook. Pretty interesting knowing that a lot of people are getting away with abuse.

I learned it the same way I learn most things.
Trial and error.
Pun wasn't intended, but I'll claim it was, because it's a good one.
