Is there someplace that you can throw a snowball at a cop where they respond with a wave and a "Have a nice day"?

[Logical me]

Maybe it's time to mention to the liberals, act like a rabid animal and you just might get hurt.

Within seconds, two large men jumped him, pushed him down to the ground and punched him in the face repeatedly

Then the 2 large men, most likely mere bystanders who took appropriate action on the man, stepped back into their spaces to continue enjoying the parade. This story makes my day.

So why did you add 'a demonstrator made a snowball' to the article? It sounds like you're saying that all the poor kid did was to make a snowball and others and the police over reacted. In other words, it's something a lefty would add to the article, not a conservative. I certainly wouldn't add that to the article. In fact, if I were the moderator I would have removed it or deleted the post.

You win :-).

if I were the moderator

I am therefore pleased you are not a moderator

But you are welcome to submit a complaint if you think you could have done better.

Cool!

Evidently, that idiot is unaware of the concept of "Cause and Effect".

Or that once hit by a snowball, Mr. Policeman is no longer your friend.

Moral: Don't throw snowballs at large men, particularly if your a small wimp.

Wanna bet those 'two large men' were undercover cops in the crowd? One has to ask the question why weren't they detained. I did not ascertain from the article that the 2 large men were in uniform.

Anyway, kudos to those that figure some things in this world need to be given respect, regardless of how one may 'feel'.

And I hope Natalie had to go all the way to her hotel to find a bathroom! (Okay, I'm an evil person ...)

No you're not. Implicit in your statement was the hope that she made it in time... *\;-)

hahahah.. typical leftist coward.. did something he thought he wouldn't have to pay for... cheap shot nonsense.... little did he realize.....

Liberals are guilt ridden cowards... nothing more, nothing less. Talk big when they know they are safe, and run and hide when they have to fight.

Good point ... cancelling my emergency confession appointment :-).
