Yes making fun of people getting milkshaked is totally the same as calling somebody slurs.

The milkshakes are a test. Since milkshakes can be used, bricks next. Perhaps even more nefarious items follow.

it's been just milkshakes for a while. it works because it's non-violent and embarrassing. so there's no need for it to escalate, and you suggesting that it might is just you trying to whip up a moral panic.

assault is okay because it could be worse but it's not this is literally "i almost stabbed this guy to death but he didn't die so it's ok" levels of absurdity, assault is assault

To charge assault, prosecutors would have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the thrower intended to cause physical harm. A milkshake isn't going to cause physical harm so no prosecutor would bother.

You could get dinged for intentional infliction of mental suffering though.

That's Tort law and not criminal law. If you wanna take someone to civil court over a milkshake, by all means.

True, I seem to have lost the thread a bit. Didn't notice that this was all about "assault".
