If you read the link they threw shovels full of snow at the windshield of the truck and the unmarked police car while moving as well as having to deal with a snow storm blocking vision and into the police car as the officers were getting out. This puts this incident into a different light. This was not a snowball incident. The title is misleading according to the link and a different kettle of fish.

Well there you go. Undercover police car. They would not have thrown anything at a marked police cruiser.

Another example of the bigger picture....If you didn't read "1984" years ago, think about doing that..or google the Cloward-Piven strategy & recognize that the campaign for power & control is engulfing at all levels. Keep up simple harassment at all levels so that the populace is so tired that to become a robot may be more acceptable...When did common sense disappear ?

I guess people just aren't allowed to have any fun anymore. I remember as a kid, when it snowed anything and everything was fair game to a well-placed snowball. Laugh it off people!! Have some fun!!

Kids really are stupid today....
-
Don't they know they are supposed to throw snowballs at cars from a hidden location on a high arc trajectory so that it is difficult for the vehicles hit to know what direction it came from!!!! What the heck is wrong wtih kids today??????
-
The high arc also makes it more challenging to time the throw with the speed of the vehicle in order to achieve impact! They just don't know how to have outside fun anymore.... if its not on a video game, they are clueless!!!!

Felony charges for throwing snowballs?? Hmmmm. Sounds ridiculous!
When did 21 year old individuals become classified (technically) as "kids"?
WHAT !! LET ME GUESS, YOU ALL WILL PROBABLY SENTENCE THEM 25 YRS. TO LIFE.. WELCOME TO THE TWILIGHT ZONE !!!!
Nolo
Snowballs? What Snowballs??? I'd like to see the evidence in court!

It's just hilarious how even a story about snowball throwers being (ridiculously) arrested can somehow be turned into a political conversation involving, of all people. Obama. You know, if you don't like the president, whomever it may be, that's one thing. But goodness me, not every single world event is a partisan issue. Next thing you know a discussion over catsup v. ketchup will somehow turn into liberals versus conservatives. Good god.
BT in Tx
Of course it will.....
John Kerry gets immediately involved if you start discussing Ketchup!!!! ....lol....

Eric Holder lets Black Panthers intimidate voters, but in Harrisburg, they're goin to throw the book at these guys?
Wow, where did my America go? Oh, I know, turds like the guy who writes Doonesbury turned our kids into idiots. Now, they're adults and work for the government.

All part of the CHANGE. Look at there mug shots.
The brothers in the Black Panthers get off. And Felon prisoners will get there absentee ballots. All part of the OBama Army. And don't forget Acorn, did Holder investigate?
