‘Good Guy With A Gun’ Shoots Teen For Throwing Snowballs
In America pretty much everyone can carry a gun, anywhere. It’s the republican paradigm, cheered on by the NRA, who, in turn, is cheered on by the gun manufacturers. In York, New York, a “good guy with a gun” decided to use it to shoot a young boy who was just having fun throwing snowballs.
(RawStory) Police in York, New York arrested a man over the weekend who was accused of shooting a boy for throwing snowballs.
According to charging documents obtained by WPMT, York police responded to reports of multiple shots fired at around 2:03 p.m. on Saturday afternoon.
A witness told police that he had seen a group of juveniles running in the neighborhood, and at least one of them was carrying a snowball. The witness recalled hearing around six gunshots. Then, he allegedly saw 22-year-old Jerquan Dickson come out of a nearby alley, and speed off in a maroon sedan.
When police caught up with Dickson, he told them that he did own a gun, but it was not at the current address. The charging documents said that Dickson told police that kids had thrown snowballs at his car. After following the kids to Forry Avenue, Dickson reportedly said that he fired once into the air, and then “several times” into the snow.
WPMT reported that a 15-year-old boy was recovering from “several” non-life threatening gunshot wounds at York Hospital.
Police obtained a search warrant, and recovered a 9 mm Smith and Wesson hidden in a laundry basket at a home connected to Dickson. Six 9 mm shell casings were also recovered from the scene of the crime.
Dickson was charged with two counts of felony Aggravated Assault and Recklessly Endangering Another Person.

There you have it folks. We will not be safe as long as we can be attacked by unregistered snowballs in the hands of juvenile miscreants.
We must organize a “Million Mom March” to ban these lethal assault snowballs forever.
Yep. That’s it. A million mom march, because it’s all about a good guy with a snowball.
I think NYPD should immediately start doinf Terry stops looking for hidden snowballs.
