Well, folks, now you’ve gone and done it. The stupid has taken over the world. In addition to the “honey I found a shotgun in the yard” crime in Britain, Virginia has now gone and convicted the coffee guy who was walking around his house naked and was spied by some peeping toms.
Add to that this by now well worn video of the DC cop who pulled a gun on snowballers and it might be time to scratch this whole homo sapiens project and start over:
I am now going into isolation to avoid catching the stupid. See you never.
Wow, I can’t believe someone threw a snowball when he had his gun out. I did laugh though.. haha
Yeah, I thought a few of those people were being a bit foolhardy, but what was he going to do? Shoot people in the street? He couldn’t be that stupid, could he?
What I want to know is, what happened to the vid, Gid?
I have no idea. Find me a working link and I’ll update it during lunch.
In Mass, I have seen prosecutions for Assault with a Deadly Weapon, to wit, a snowball (a snowball mind you, not even an ice ball or one with a rock in it). Now if a snowball can be a deadly weapon, and police use-of-force policies permit one to respond to deadly weapons with their deadly weapons (firearms), you can see where this goes.
Really, prosecutors need to laughed out of the courtroom by judges and juries for charging snowballs as deadly weapons — sadly, they aren’t.
That’s absurd. I don’t believe you. We can’t be that stupid.
