    Assault, criminal mischief/disorderly conduct. Things of that nature.It depends if you hit the person in question (assault) or not (mischief). It also depends on the public outrage and other factors.

    Criminal mischief is generally no big deal. Assault, however, is a big deal.

    To throw anything is considered assault and to assault a public figure is big trouble! Don't do it!!
