Snowball Fights Gone Wild

If you are going to a snowball fight any time soon, remember your kevlar vest. A group of 20 and 30-somethings were invited on Twitter to a snowball fight at 14th and U Street in Washington D.C. this Monday just past. Everyone was enjoying themselves, no fist fights or anything, just the occasional car getting hit by an errant snowball. Then an off duty police officer's personal vehicle, a Hummer, was hit by a some snow.. The Detective jumped out, drew his gun, and threatened some of the fun seekers. End of fun. The D.C. police department, after first denying a gun was draw, admitted the fact when faced with video of the incident. Don't you just hate it when that happens! Now the department is looking at whether it was excessive for a gun to have been drawn. Ya think?!

Next we have Denbighshire in the U.K. Wednesday night at 10:30 G.M.T. a 20 year old was stabbed to death during a snowball fight. A 19 year old man was arrested for shoving a kitchen knife into the victim who later died of shock and blood loss. So, safety first, if you see a neighborhood snowball fight lock your doors and hide!
