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.

[–] Dabundis@lemmy.world 59 points 1 year ago (3 children)

It probably could constitute assault, even without hitting someone

[–] kubica@fedia.io 73 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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

[–] SidewaysHighways@lemmy.world 35 points 1 year ago

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

[–] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year 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...

[–] OrnateLuna@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] zout@fedia.io 3 points 1 year 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.

[–] Toribor@corndog.social 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

yeah, battery

[–] PhilipTheBucket@ponder.cat 37 points 1 year 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.

[–] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

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

[–] TopRamenBinLaden@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)
[–] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

That's a AA battery

[–] Pickle_Jr@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Only if the battery is charged

[–] knightmare1147@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Are they discharged if it's not?

[–] Gutek8134@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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

[–] nnullzz@lemmy.world 55 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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.

[–] leftzero@lemmynsfw.com 31 points 1 year 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.

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

I like the cut of your jibs

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 42 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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

[–] FrostyCaveman@lemm.ee 51 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It’s basically a laugh track for the meme

[–] mlg@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

FTFY

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Firipu@startrek.website 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)
[–] Venator@lemmy.nz 3 points 1 year ago

Ah, a fellow Eternity enjoyer.

[–] callyral@pawb.social 1 points 1 year ago

this confused me and i am on a whole different app

[–] helpImTrappedOnline@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yeah, what's up with that?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] glimse@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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

What's the deal with laugh tracks?

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

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 14 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

To the original question:

Would that be considered desecrating a corpse?

[–] zout@fedia.io 19 points 1 year 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).

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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