/// No - not, bacon - that wouldn't make any contextual sense. ///
Then why not, a thug is free to use the nearest weapon of assault he lays his hands on, he may be a bacon slicer in a supermarket.
/// However, ifa Catholicgirk was accosted in the street, and had the crucifix ripped from a chain on her neck and stamped on the ground, or thrown in the sewer, that would be an equivilency. ///
Ignoring the spelling mistakes that you are always willing to pick up other ABers for, I think your analogy is flawed, that would not only be assault but also the destruction and loss of a piece of personal jewellery, a much more serious crime than a slap with a few rashers of bacon.
