A mother of 3 was was convicted of throwing a McDonalds cup filled with ice at a car that had cut her off in traffic. She is due to be sentenced today-she could receive up to two years in prison. She was convicted of "propelling a missile".
This is not a joke people-i cant make this kind of stuff up.
Granted, she has problems with road rage it sounds. But a cup of ice? Convicting her of a felony? Prison?
How about a nice heavy fine for littering instead?
Here is a link regarding the case:

Your thoughts. Is this extreme, or is this justice?

Expose Liberals answered another question by saying "Liberals like Al Gore want to control what you can buy. George W. Bush and other conservatives believe in a free market, if an adult wants to buy ......... then they should be able to. We don't need a liberal Democrat nanny state. " And his fellow Conservatives whole-heartedly agree.

So I ask you, why is marijuana against the law? And why does the Bush Administration stand diametrically opposed to individual States legalizing marijuana? What about State's Rights? Has the Republican Party caved into Religious Extremists? Is today's Conservativism really about legislating Jesus rather than traditional conservative values?

Why don't statements like the quote above by apply to marijuana? Why does it seem as though we're actually living in a Republican nanny state? Can someone please explain the hypocrisy? Please?

That everyone hates the US until it has to come bail their asses out of trouble?

Take the French for example, They hated us because of our prosperity in the twenties and even during the depression. Then come WW2 we're their best friends again.

Is it because they have a difficult time living up to their credo of "accountability?" Is it Donald Rumsfeld syndrome, when they're so busy issuing snowflakes of propaganda that they don't have time to pay attention to reality?

"WASHINGTON — Federal prosecutors counted immigration violations, marriage fraud and drug trafficking among anti-terror cases in the four years after 9/11 even though no evidence linked them to terror activity, a Justice Department audit said Tuesday.

Overall, nearly all of the terrorism-related statistics on investigations, referrals and cases examined by department Inspector General Glenn A. Fine were either diminished or inflated. Only two of 26 sets of department data reported between 2001 and 2005 were accurate, the audit found."

"The numbers, used to monitor the department's progress in battling terrorists, are reported to Congress and the public and help, in part, shape the department's budget."
