A trans activist in the Oklahoma State Capitol poured water on Rep. Bob Culver today, and then assaulted a police officer!

Here he is screaming maniacally for help as the officer takes him down.

In this case, myself is acceptable, since he then listed another person afterwards. It's not strictly speaking necessary or more correct, but it is a valid usage of the word. If he'd just said "threw water on myself" and ended the sentence there, that would be incorrect as you say.

He could also have been saying "on my self", as in "my body" / "my person" / "my neighbor"

I thought the reflexive pronoun—"myself" in this sentence—could only be used if both the subject and object of the verb are both the same. In this sentence they are not the same, the subject is the individual protesting (who was the one doing the throwing) and the object is the Representative who got water thrown on him, so you would use the object pronoun "me"

This is theoretically traditionally the case but english and its treatment of hard and fast grammatical rules is notoriously both quite flexible and subject to a high level of social manipulation.
While, in the most stringent of circumstances, your interpretation would be correct, the reality of the situation is that the use of the reflexive in this instance has essentially been "approved" (for what that's worth lol) by the "majority" (again, lol) of people who routinely manage to be not-r-slurred enough to even use that tense. It's more of a writerly convention than it is a rule of grammar, but because english is an r-slured language attended to by r-slurs, and not one which has a college of standards actively keeping custody of it, like french, these conventions are all we really have to go by. You're not wrong, it's just that there's a completely invisible (and unknown to the majority of people) organization which has an alternate interpretation -- and that is accepted by a small but influential group of people who produce a majority of written works in the language.

It just annoys me because it sounds really bad to me and it's some snooty person trying to sound proper but they are just "overcorrecting" and r-slurredly wrong. I think I've internalized a lot of grammar rules painstakingly taught by
and their knuckle-smacking rulers, so when certain things sounds wrong it gets me all uppity. Not that I have anywhere near perfect grammar, my shit is so riddled with simple errors that I look r-slurred, it's just certain things bother me.
And descriptivists piss me off because they are like
"Let people enjoy things!" until it comes to some post-modern destruction of the English language and then you BETTER say it the right way or you are a chud

Those nuns did a frickin number on you bud, I can't think of anything that matters less than this off the top of my head. I say this not to bully you, but out of deep concern, you should probably
before you 
some pretentious r-slurs over their improper use of the subjunctive.
That said, you're still not wrong but at the end of the day its a politician from Oklahoma so the fact he can even string together actual sentences is pretty impressive to me.

We learned from the garden hose chad that water is assault.
Besides, someone's more likely to die from 'slipping on water at the top of the staircase' than 'being denied titty skittles'
