"Many generous, fun, semi-stupid, legendary moments have happened during Astros Championship Parades," the man's lawyers said in his defense.
Houston Astros fan Joseph Halm Arcidiacono has another victory to celebrate this week, as he was no-billed by a grand jury that decided not to indict him for throwing cans of alcohol at Sen. Ted Cruz during the team's World Series parade in early November.
Arcidiacono, 33, was originally charged with "aggravated assault with a deadly weapon" and posted a bond set at $40,000 after he hurled two unopened cans of what appeared to be White Claw toward the senator as he waved to crowds lining Smith Street. Following the incident, HPD announced via Twitter that Cruz had been struck in the chest and neck area but did not require medical attention and that Arcidiacono had been arrested.
While being detained, Arcidiacono allegedly told officers, "I know, I'm an idiot. I'm sorry."

Hey, idiot writer, White Claw is not beer.
But he told the policemen that he’s sorry, so it’s all good. SMH
Too bad we can’t throw cans at obama or Brandon.
Houston juries are similar to D.C. and NYC juries. Law and order is offensive to them!
Didn’t this hit Cruz in the face and do vast amounts of cosmetic improvement?
No case. Cruz said he had a noodle arm.
Our side needs to master the art of civil disobedience. We need to take a lesson from Alinsky and (non violently) humiliate elites from the Dem establishment.
It would be an INSURRECTION!!!!!
I almost cut my thumb off tearing a beer can in half once.
So that means everyone can toss liquids on the Dems now?
Here is a reminder to the Left about why being allowed to throw liquids at people is wrong:

‘No Words:’ NY College Student in Acid Attack Horror Fears Lifelong Impact
By Gilma Avalos • Published April 21, 2021 • Updated on April 23, 2021.
A Long Island college student says her life may never be the same after someone threw acid in her face in the middle of the night, while she was in her own driveway.
Police are still searching for the person responsible for the cruel attack that was captured on a neighbor’s surveillance video on March 17. Nafiah Ikram can be seen walking across the front lawn of her Elmont home when the attacker rushes at her from behind and douses her with a cup of acid before sprinting off.
“At the time, I didn’t know it was acid. I started walking because I thought it was just a prank — the substance felt warm, room temperature, like juice thrown on me,” she told NBC New York, saying she also thought she was going to get kidnapped or attacked. “A couple of seconds later it started to burn, I started to panic and ran into the house.”
The Hofstra University student’s parents doused her with water to ease the burning, and called 911. Ikram said her tongue got so swollen, she couldn’t breathe.
“Thank God my parents were home. God forbid — the fact that I didn’t know what the substance was, I probably would have died,” she said.
Ikram spent two weeks in the hospital, suffering severe burns to her face, eyes, chest and arms. She has had to take the rest of the semester off from school to recover. Despite her severe injuries still healing, she wanted to go on camera to tell her story.
“There are no words to describe what I went through,” she told News 4. “Right now, I don’t know if I’ll ever drive again because of how bad the vision is in my eye.”
No arrests have been made.

A friend was at a boat parade several years ago and someone threw a full beer can and hit her square in the back. It really messed her up for the rest of her life.
What you are missing about our justice system is we have equality! In fact, we have so much equality that there is an equality surplus, and so some people are more equal than others!
“Guinness is beer.”
DeChutes Obsidian Stout is beer.
“Guinness is a stout. I guess that’s a type of beer, but c’mon.”
If it’s not stout or porter it’s pussy beer.
I’ve seen it, haven’t tried it yet but sounds great. Irish Death isn’t too bad either.
Anyone who wastes beer should be indicted...
IAC, if he really didn’t like Cruz, he should have drunk both beers, then urinated on Cruz’s leg...
“aggravated assault with a deadly weapon”
