The article said that is a felony. She "shot a deadly missile into an aircraft".

If it didn't get into the aircraft, that law can't possibly hold.

Now, she attempted to do so. That is different.

However, one can't rightfully say a bottle rocket that even the pilot said didn't jeopardize the aircraft was a "deadly missile".

In "No-Longer-a-Nation-of-Laws" America of 2006, anything that is an inconvenience for "Law Enforcement" is illegal.

"Thompson allegedly ran out of her house with a bottle rocket launcher..."

Presumably, a bottle!

"Thompson is facing a felony charge of shooting or throwing a deadly missile into an aircraft."

That seems a stretch, especially that it went *into* an aircraft. If so, she's a great shot, though.
