It's like spitting in someone's face

Throwing a butt is more or less assault? =/ I'm going to go with the very much "less" part on that given the circumstances. How else would you reconcile the fact that the lady was then the first person to "assault" something?
I'm not saying he shouldn't have expected to face consequences at one point, the same way if I go downtown and keep calling people ####ers I'm going to get punched in the face at one point, but I don't necessarily think he did anything 'wrong'. It was after all her trash.
In any case, it doesn't matter. According to the witnesses, she went and grabbed a man from another building and he followed him, sucker-punched him and consequently killed him. There's no room for anything but at the very least a manslaughter charge here based on what's been reported.
I realize he died several days later of his injuries, but you can almost guarantee that the assailant is going to be at least upper-middle class, anything else and he would be arrested that day before having his charges upgraded after the death. Something's fishy about the whole situation, RCMP should be far more open and transparent given that it would not in any way effect the investigation.
