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

[–] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 72 points 2 months ago (2 children)

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 2 months ago (3 children)

It probably could constitute assault, even without hitting someone

[–] kubica@fedia.io 73 points 2 months 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 2 months 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 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months 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 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] AbsoluteChicagoDog@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

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

[–] zout@fedia.io 3 points 2 months 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 2 months ago

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

[–] TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

yeah, battery

[–] PhilipTheBucket@ponder.cat 37 points 2 months 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 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (3 children)

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

[–] TopRamenBinLaden@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)
[–] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

That's a AA battery

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

Only if the battery is charged

[–] knightmare1147@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Are they discharged if it's not?

[–] Gutek8134@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

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

[–] nnullzz@lemmy.world 55 points 2 months 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 2 months 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 2 months ago

I like the cut of your jibs

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 42 points 2 months 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 2 months ago (2 children)

It’s basically a laugh track for the meme

[–] mlg@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months 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

[–] Venator@lemmy.nz 3 points 2 months ago

Ah, a fellow Eternity enjoyer.

[–] callyral@pawb.social 1 points 2 months ago

this confused me and i am on a whole different app

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

Yeah, what's up with that?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] glimse@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months 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.

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 14 points 2 months ago

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

[–] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

To the original question:

Would that be considered desecrating a corpse?

[–] zout@fedia.io 19 points 2 months 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 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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