Well I’m not advocating for them both to get the same sentencing. He should obviously get a heavier sentence due to severity. I am however not a fan of excusing violence just because I happen to agree with their cause.
violence, an act of physical force that causes or is intended to cause harm. The damage inflicted by violence may be physical, psychological, or both. Violence may be distinguished from aggression, a more general type of hostile behaviour that may be physical, verbal, or passive in nature.

Are you trying to claim that throwing liquids at somebody you dislike is legal in NY?
I don’t even understand what point you’re trying to get at. Are you claiming it’s fine to just toss random liquids at others? My point is they both broke the law, they both should be impartially judged for it. How and why is that even controversial?

Why is this news?
Unfortunately if they are moneyed and attacking a prole it is indeed news.
Because the initial assault was news. Generally speaking, news stories with unresolved conclusions tend to release updates when they happen.
“Person who was assaulted, charged with assault”
Personally, I’m wondering why only one side gets charged. Both sides were assholes. Lock them both up.
Because she threw liquid at him and he punched her. Seems like two different levels of severity.

Considering, as you pointed out, the woman wasn’t charged, it sounds like it very well might be.
