200 man snowball fight?! Oh man, wish I could've been there! That would be AWESOME!
Yes, I'm a kid at heart.
Nice!Quote:

Unfortunately... I'm not going to lie: I would be tempted to throw a snowball at the cop when he turned his back if he unholstered his weapon for no apparent reason.
On the other hand, we don't know if the snowball that hit his hummer was intentional or not. It is written to make us believe that it was since certain parties were enagaging the "gas guzzlers" due to their beliefs, lol. Like throwing a snowball is going to make them think "Gee, maybe I shouldn't be driving this thing". BTW, if anyone has a hummer they want to get rid of, my number is 970-....
HAHA. And record snowfall for 6 states... wow, that global warming thing is really catching on!
If he did not ID himself as an officer imediately, a CCW citizen could have taken that as a direct threat. Could have ended very badly for all involved. Not sure if CCW is even allowed in DC...
Snowball fights.... Sometimes it takes 2 balls!Quote:

I'm sure it could've gotten really nasty, really quick.
I don't know if CCW is allowed in DC either. With all the politics and stuff there, I highly doubt it or if it is, I'm sure they pay a premium.
Nothing to be ashamed of Big Bear. He should have been pelted into the ground, then kicked, for pulling his gun over a snow ball. You know what you do when there is a 200 person snow ball fight and people hit your car? Keep driving.
Bear, Hummers are TERRIBLE vehicles.
Ya, you want a Volvo C303.... or a Pinzgauer 710... [Beer]Quote:
