I was watching the news this morning and saw a story about a big snowball fight that was held in DC yesterday. Apparently it was an organized thing and it was being held by adults. Everyone was having a great time – it is unusual to have this much snow around here! So why not celebrate with a good old-fashioned snowball fight? Well, aside from the fact that I don’t enjoy snowball fights I think that if that is something you’d enjoy, well then have at it!
Well, a stray snowball hit some guy’s Hummer. The guy was inside the Hummer. Obviously not a voluntary participant in the melee! He was really angry that a snowball hit his Hummer and he drew a gun and started waving it around. Police were called. The driver of the Hummer was struck in the head by another snowball (I guess payback for being such a killjoy!) When all was said and done it turns out that the guy with the gun was an off-duty plain clothes detective. The police department tried to claim that he didn’t draw his gun, but there was a video made of the entire thing and there is no doubt that he had a gun out! Now he is on desk duty.
So tell me, what was he thinking, jumping out of his Hummer and waving a gun around over a simple stupid snowball? Get a sense of humor dude!
