Felony Snowball Tossing Charges Lodged
The Smiking Gun ^ | 9 Feb. 2010 | Staff

Posted on 02/09/2010 9:43:27 AM PST by PilotDave

Felony snowball throwing charges have been leveled against two Virginia college students for allegedly pelting a city plow and an undercover police car during Saturday's blizzard. Charles Gill and Ryan Knight, both 21, were nabbed by cops in Harrisonburg, where they attend James Madison University. According to police, the pair first targeted a city plow last Saturday afternoon. The driver responded by calling cops to report the frosty fusillade. When police responded to the scene in a bid to identify the assailants, their unmarked vehicle also came under an icy assault. Gill and Knight, a guard on JMU's basketball team, were then apprehended and booked into jail for throwing missiles at occupied vehicles, a felony.

Like the NC town that banned all alcohol and firearms because of the “snow emergency” - sometimes leaders can be, well... STUPID.

Looks like government employees are being turned into a ‘protected’ class.

Happens in all empires when they transition from a republic to a tyranny.

Interestingly, it didn’t even snow there!

I saw a guy interviewed on Fox about the big snowball fight in DC and I was appalled that he said he spit a loogie into the snowballs first. The reporter laughed like this was all a big joke. What a disgusting culture we have become.
