Yes Gary, that's exactly what it is, well done ...
Unless I'm reading this incorrectly:
- Throwing shoes at someone is legal on the grounds that it's a form of protest;
- Injuring someone (by whatever means) during a protest would still be contrary to law.
I would imagine this could be seen in the same way that simply swinging punches is not illegal in and of itself, but connecting with another person and causing them harm would then be contrary to the law.
So what if people want to chuck shoes about? Let them get on with it. When they start hurting people and not getting any sort of punishment
then let's worry about it. That said though, there's enough drunken muppets about our towns on a Friday/Saturday night causing each other damage and getting away with it ...
