Original Note:
The Trump supporter initiated the violence by spraying a chemical (likely pepper spray) in the face of the other individual. While such sprays are legal for self defense, they are not legal as offensive weapons. Therfore, he committed a criminal act prior to being attacked. https://www.sabrered.com/blog/pepper-spray-laws?srsltid=AfmBOorSyN6CU3BCKfJK_AE9qAHxedF6RJOqdrLX8nCwy2dUMdSg_VcU
