Assault?
Shit, Looking at a pig could count as assault in the good old USA. I kid you not- if you attempt to block the blows of a police baton with your hands- that could count as 'assaulting a police officer.'

Is flatulence a biological weapon or a chemical weapon? :confused:

This is West Virginia after all. In W.V. farting is considered an alternative energy source.

Flatulence is mostly methane, so chemical. Biological would be something worse than methane.

Ah, but it's natural, so I'd say Biological.

The obvious answer to this would be to whip out your taser just as the guy farts, hence setting him alight for the lols.

Naturally produced, but it doesn't do its damage by infecting cells and subverting host DNA to host detriment. That would broadly cover biological weapons. Chemical weapons are basically aerosol weapons that cause tissue or nerve damage on contact.

Methane does the latter, so it's a chemical weapon.

"The gas was very odorous and created contact of an insulting or provoking nature with Patrolman Parsons," the complaint alleged.
The complaint goes on to allege that Parsons declared, "Deary me, oh deary me, my delicate constitution." Before collapsing into the waiting arms of his partner, who revived him with the prompt application of smelling salts.

True story: On Halloween, all the women here dress up as kinky cops. That is one perk about going to a school known for law enforcement. :p

At the SoCal RenFaire farting was considered to be social exchange.
