		<description>Let&#039;s be clear. Wasn&#039;t there a woman in the news who got jail time for throwing a cup of crushed ice into someone&#039;s car...a few years back? The cop was wrong as all get out...but the snowballers were supposed to be grown, law-abiding citizens, right?

Hitting someone with a projectile is assault. Hitting someone&#039;s property (the cop&#039;s car) while he clearly was a consenting participant in the snowball fight = vandalism.

The fact that the cop checked himself enough to keep the body count down to 0...priceless. Those naive, little pissants are alive only by the grace of God. If that had been a drug dealer&#039;s Hummer--instead of a cop--we would have read about a multiple fatalities from a drive-by shooting following a &quot;fun snowball fight&quot; at 14th &amp; U Sts NW. They&#039;re also lucky that a card-carrying member of the NRA (from outside of DC, WHERE some people can legally own guns) wasn&#039;t the one who got bitch-slapped with a snowball, while driving with a loaded firearm in the vehicle.

The cop and the snowballers were idiots, regardless of the races of the parties involved, but the snowballers need to get better acquainted with Jesus, Mohammed, Buddha, or somebody else really, really soon...because their decision-making skills [like those of the cop] may get them killed in another situation.</description>
