And we won't even get into the material surrounding the water. The balloon itself... Just look at the argument. The balloon is made from chemicals (so a charge of chemical warfare is obviously in order now). Chemicals are made of elements. There are elements in atomic bombs, too. So basically, they're throwing nuclear bombs filled with poisonous, bio-hazardous liquid at people!! OMFG!!! What kind of terrorists do that??? HELL YES, ARREST THEM!! In fact, what is the legal system doing?? They shouldn't even get a trial or a sentence. They're so guilty they should have been shot on the very spot on which they stood. Several times. That way, another terrorist plot could be averted and the FBI could pat themselves on the back for stopping more nuclear, chemical, *and* biological attacks all at once!!

And the final horror? It was done around a school!! For crying out loud, they didn't even THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!]]> http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130519/18102623141/so-its-come-to-this-seven-high-school-students-arrested-throwing-water-balloons.shtml#c102 Wed, 22 May 2013 09:24:45 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130519/18102623141/so-its-come-to-this-seven-high-school-students-arrested-throwing-water-balloons.shtml#c102 http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130520/00493523143/ridiculous-timing-obama-administration-responds-to-spying-ap-pushing-journalist-shield-law-that-wouldnt-matter.shtml#c394 Wed, 22 May 2013 09:24:42 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130520/00493523143/ridiculous-timing-obama-administration-responds-to-spying-ap-pushing-journalist-shield-law-that-wouldnt-matter.shtml#c394
But the US of A has never really been into bringing those that cause an unjust war to bare for their actions. Hell, Bush and his entire crew were given a pass on that one, when it was pretty obvious that, with the help of bad intelligence, they manufactured the war in Iraq.]]> http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130521/16402423161/first-hand-account-judicial-smackdown-prenda-minnesota.shtml#c827 Wed, 22 May 2013 09:23:59 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130521/16402423161/first-hand-account-judicial-smackdown-prenda-minnesota.shtml#c827 http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130519/18102623141/so-its-come-to-this-seven-high-school-students-arrested-throwing-water-balloons.shtml#c94 Wed, 22 May 2013 09:22:13 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130519/18102623141/so-its-come-to-this-seven-high-school-students-arrested-throwing-water-balloons.shtml#c94 http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130521/16402423161/first-hand-account-judicial-smackdown-prenda-minnesota.shtml#c804 Wed, 22 May 2013 09:22:11 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130521/16402423161/first-hand-account-judicial-smackdown-prenda-minnesota.shtml#c804 http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130519/18102623141/so-its-come-to-this-seven-high-school-students-arrested-throwing-water-balloons.shtml#c87 Wed, 22 May 2013 09:21:31 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130519/18102623141/so-its-come-to-this-seven-high-school-students-arrested-throwing-water-balloons.shtml#c87 http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130521/16402423161/first-hand-account-judicial-smackdown-prenda-minnesota.shtml#c786 Wed, 22 May 2013 09:20:59 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130521/16402423161/first-hand-account-judicial-smackdown-prenda-minnesota.shtml#c786
