Students Charged With Felony Snowball Throwing
Charles Gill and Ryan Knight are facing felony charges for allegedly throwing snow at a plow and an undercover police car. The pair were charged with throwing missiles at occupied vehicles. If convicted, the men face 1-5 years in prison, and a maximum $2,500 fine. In addition to the snowball throwers, a group making snow angels was detained, but no charges were filed.
Haha oh wow. Talk about over reactions from people with no sense of humour
Step 1: Throw snowballs at cars.
Step 2: Run like hell!
If cops are responding to a "snowballs thrown" call, then they seriously must not have enough to do!
I've abandoned my search for truth; now I'm just looking for some useful delusions.
Prison is too good for them, send them to Gitmo!
Most ACs are not even worth the keystrokes to insult them. Be generically insulted by this and ignored otherwise.
Is this that case last month where the police detective reponded to a college snowball fight by threatening students with his sidearm?
He put his boots up on the table and made a face. "The sig," he smirked. "You can waste your life in search of the sig."
RTFA. They weren't throwing snowballs at the plow and police car; they were throwing snow with a shovel. They continued to throw snow when the cops opened their doors and got snow inside the cop car... way to piss off the cops, morons!

Everybody knows you use a snowblower to bury cops.

I think it is, as for that that incident with the police detective the video is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFC8mNdxV0c
Attention... all grammer nazi"s! Is they're anything; wrong with: my post,
today it is frozen water, tomorrow it is rocks, both can kill and at 21yo you're old enough to know better
No, it isn't. The news release states the incident occurred on the 6th of February around 5 pm.
If they had been busting snowball throwers when I was their age, I would be doing life in prison.
...See? Better ideas already. :-)

Okay these two are complete morons but a felony charge? I think that is a bit much. 100 days community service with a misdemeanor charge.
You said;
I know! No wholesome community should have kids running around outside playing in the snow. They ought to be safe inside consuming approved media.
The article said; the criminals were
two Virginia college students
. So it appears they weren't children. Yeah when I was a kid people used to also shove people's faces into the snow. Children also used to like to form a ring and push their friends around until they cried, all in the name of fun, and in the tradition of child's play and what adults called "socialization". Too bad it was always the "nice" people and the shy people who were victims of this play. I'd personally love to beat the shit out of people like you (just for play of course), but assholes like you always turn hypocritical at this point and start running for their parents, (or the police, when they get older).

Guess what John-boy? Unwanted physical harassment and violence deserves a felony charge. Right now people get charged with felony offences for merely making unwanted sexual contact like touching a girls ass or "flashing" genitals in public. Unfortunately the same people think physically harming people is OK (especially if it is with a snow ball, because snow balls are cute... which makes an assault OK if it is done with a snowball).
I wish people would be as cavalier about sex as they were with violence.
The police point out that this wasn't just a few snowballs and that this occurred in the middle of a snow storm! These guys were throwing SHOVEL fulls of snow onto windshields and when the officers attempted to exit their vehicle they received shovel fulls of snow as well!
These weren't 10 year old children but 21 year old college students who ought to have had a little more common sense! I'm not sure a felony charge is warranted unless they're being charged with criminal stupidity but they sure ought to be charged with something. Not the brightest bulbs on the porch....
