A Massachusetts woman may have succumbed to "snowball rage."
Marie Needs, 48, was picking up her daughter at Andover High School (search) last Wednesday afternoon when a snowball struck her car. Then another. And another.
Needs yelled at the kids throwing the snowballs, then got out and chased them with a tire iron.
More snowballs pelted her, and she went back into her car to get her pepper spray (search).
While all this was going on, student Joey Cataldo, 16, came out to the parking lot to find Needs' Honda blocking his car.
He asked her to move her car, but she refused, and after a short argument, she pepper-sprayed him in the face.
"She kept telling me just to not say another word," Cataldo told the Boston Globe.

Only in Mass. would one have to register pepper spray as a firearm. How stupid can these people get?

I think this is funny. I had a couple of kids bounce a snowball of my brand new pickup one time. Slushball that dented it. It's a good thing for them that they could out run me.
Personally... I don't blame the lady. Maybe the 16 year old will learn something from the thing.

She should have just had an affair with him. Then she would not get in trouble.

Needs pleaded not guilty to assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, assault with a dangerous weapon and carrying a firearm (the pepper spray) without proper registration. Pepper spray is considered a firearm in Massachusetts? Why am I not surprised.

Learn what? Not to ask someone to move their car that's blocking you in?

"'She kept telling me just to not say another word,' Cataldo told the Boston Globe."
Battleaxes (feminists) often say that while they're attacking someone or someone's reputation--with words and otherwise.

Note to 16 year old. Crazy looking lady is holding pepper spray and demading that you not speak anymore. Best option may be to shut your mouth for a while.

...reminds of me recent California convictions/imprisonments without charges or full bodies of evidence.

To learn not to argue with a lady holding pepper spray. But idealy... to learn not to argue with your elders.

OK, the flip-out over the blocked car was a bit over the top!
But frankly, I'd like to see some more serious "retribution" as this woman handed out to some of those kids. ;-)
More attitudes like this - immediate harsh "punishment" - will keep the scums off the streets, not the namby-pamby roll-over-and-die tactics all the cops and libs tell us to use (and too many have been brainwashed into believing) in pathetic desperate attempts to save 1 butt.

Slushball that dented it. "Junior Barnes? You Gunkie!"

Sure, but the kid's going to get the last laugh here. From what's stated here, he did no wrong and was assaulted with a 'weapon' that apparently requires registration in that state. This lady was just flat out wrong. And what's going to burn her even more is that the 'crappy little teenager' is going to get the best of her now.
