It’s called assault. Either you believe in the law or you don’t.
I’m assuming you’re....youngish???
I recall the day I lobbed a snowball at a girl from down the street (I’m a guy). I imagine I was in the 2nd grade or so. I remember thinking it was way too far, but what the heck.
Well, that thing took wings - sailed at LEAST 200 feet (well - it seemed so at the time) and hit her square in the face. She turned and ran home, and I ran home - crying.
Yes I got in trouble for it!
And at 17 years old, obviously would depend on the circumstances. It probably wasn’t a mutual snowball fight. Picking on the geeky kid walking home from school - sounds about the right punishment. Maybe a bit harsh from the old days. Although I know some of my buddies would have preferred this compared to the beating they got from their dads doing a similar thing.
Poindexter is right. Strictly speaking, it is undeniably an assault. And if someone insists on complaining about it, I don’t see how the police have any choice other than to write it up and take action. I think its pretty pitiful that someone is so humorless they have to complain about such activity, but then we dont know all the circumstances. There may be a lot more to this.
Well, you are right, it’s definitely an assault, Ten years at hard labor would break up ths kind of foolishness.
You sure picked the correct User Name.
