Original Note:
This occurred in Dean Chemerinsky's private garden at a party for registered student guests. California permits the use of reasonable force to eject a trespasser who refuses to leave private property. https://www.law.berkeley.edu/article/statement-from-dean-erwin-chemerinsky/ https://www.justia.com/criminal/docs/calcrim/3400/3475/ Also, an unlawful touching is a battery, not an assault. https://casetext.com/statute/california-codes/california-penal-code/part-1-of-crimes-and-punishments/title-8-of-crimes-against-the-person/chapter-9-assault-and-battery
