Like the NC town that banned all alcohol and firearms because of the “snow emergency” - sometimes leaders can be, well... STUPID.
What? two kids up against a SNOW PLOW. And the snow plow driver was hurt HOW???
Felony ?????
When snowballs are outlawed, only outlaws will have snowballs...
This is so ridiculous!!!!!!
Were the arresting officers Barney Fife and Warren????
Looks like government employees are being turned into a ‘protected’ class.
Happens in all empires when they transition from a republic to a tyranny.
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.
Snowballs are now missles...
Snow plow operator to police, “But, but, but, the snowballs were coming from EVERYWHERE!!! There were so many of them!!!!”*crying now* “I was so scared...afraid for my life...I thought I had seen my wife and kids for the last time...” “Thousands of snowballs!!!!!!!!!”
“What??? Only two throwing them???” “ohhhhhh...”
Can’t get snow on the snowplow dontcha know...
“Junior Barnes....you gunky!”
Can you imagine the street cred in prison?
Ping.
I’m siding with the students - why?? Because JMU is my alma mater ;-) Go Dukes!
I think it’s crazy to should arrest these guys, BUT, a good unexpected snowball to the driver’s window can scare the crap out of you. I’ve seen people get out and chase kids who pounded them. If you’ve been sitting stuck for an hour in snowbound traffic, you are already pretty irritable.
One of my brothers was with a bunch of kids throwing snowballs at traffic in a nasty after-school snowstorm. A bus driver got tired of it and stopped the bus. The kids took off. (This was 50 years ago when kids still had some fear of adults.) One of them ran in front of the bus and slipped just as the driver started up again. A front tire ran over the kid’s head.
I can still remember the police coming to our house asking my brother what he saw happen.
“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”
throwing missiles? a snowball is a missile??
talk about using inflammatory language to increase the impact of an otherwise boring story

When I was a young teenager I was at my buddy's house where we were throwing snowballs into his trout pond. As he was pulling his arm back to make a throw, I decided to throw my snowball and try to knock his out of his hand. I was only about 8 feet away from him so it should have been a cinch.
Well it wasn't......throwing as hard as I could I nailed him right upside his head........LOL!
And thats how the fight started.......
You can have my snowball when you pry it from my cold hands.
“...then apprehended and booked into jail for throwing missiles at occupied vehicles...”
Throwing missiles?? We’re they heat seeking snowball missiles, MIRV multiple snowball warheads or SAMs?
What an incredible waste of time and abuse of duty...so some kids threw snowballs at you. Boo hoo! Get over it!
