That was a wild ride, but it stuck the landing.

I mean the title question would be super illegal. The thing he did is probably fine if its in a bag and especially fine if he didnt hit anyone with it.

[–] [email protected] 59 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

It probably could constitute assault, even without hitting someone

[–] [email protected] 73 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

I'd say about the same level of assault than the christians gathering to call other people murderers.

It's too bad the 'powers that be' will probably get really mad something was thrown near their sister or something

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Unfortunately, "they deserved it" isn't really part of the law.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I propose we pass a law that officially makes "he needed killin' " a legally admissible affirmative defense. If you can prove to the jury, beyond a reasonable doubt, that someone just needed killin', you can't be convicted of murder.

I'm sure this won't have any horrific negative side effects whatsoever...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Well tbf cops already do that and it's going as well as you expect it to

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Nah cops don't need to justify their murders to get away with them

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

Don't be so sure about that, consider that raw chicken will be a good carrier for diseases. On the other hand, if those christians aren't vaccinated they would also qualify for this.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

It's biological material too which often has legal implications.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

yeah, battery

[–] [email protected] 37 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Throwing something at a person is battery, pretty much everywhere in the US.

You could also make an argument that it's "discharging bodily fluids" or some weird kind of "disturbing the peace" type of offense predicated just on disturbing other people around you, but it definitely would be battery.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (3 children)

What if you throw a car battery at someone? Is that double battery?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)
[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

That's a AA battery

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Only if the battery is charged

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Are they discharged if it's not?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

Infinite battery glitch found. Time to plug them into my controller.

Eggs would be more akin to a fetus than raw chicken.

Maybe setup a food truck across the street making breakfast sandwiches and see how many of those protestors buy. Then donate all the profits to the clinic.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, but even these assholes wouldn't be dumb enough to mistake an egg for an aborted human fetus; some minced chicken entrails, though, that they might actually fall for.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

I like the cut of your jibs

What's the deal with Tumblr screenshots always including replies that add nothing to the humor lol

[–] [email protected] 51 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

It’s basically a laugh track for the meme

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

redditors adding "nobody:" to the top of every meme

FTFY

That's good. I wanted to call them "useless red circles" in my comment but I didn't know if anyone would get what I meant

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)
[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

Ah, a fellow Eternity enjoyer.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

this confused me and i am on a whole different app

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Yeah, what's up with that?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

I'll include you both when I post this to my Lemmy community on Tumblr!

The hero we didn't know we needed, we didn't know we had.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 weeks ago

You’d probably get prosecuted for terrorism if you tried that, just on vibes

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

To the original question:

Would that be considered desecrating a corpse?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 weeks ago

It depends on the age of the fetus, and the local laws. In the Netherlands where I live the fetus is by law not considered a baby (not sure on the terminology) until the 24th week of pregnancy, so anything before that is considered not to be a human body (again, by law).

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

So the real question is whether it's illegal to throw a baggie full of raw chicken.
