OT: Pharaoh Brown suspended for his role in a snowball fight
Oregon has suspended Pharaoh Brown for the Valero Alamo Bowl for his role in a snowball fight.
Oregon players reportedly organized the snowball fight and more than 100 students participated.
They started out having good fun, it kind of went to a mob mentality.

And then when they don't move as you're creeping forward or trip in the snow trying to get out of the way it's your fault for running them over.

This should be a question on every drivers license exam.
"You've stopped your car on a side street. A kid stands a few feet in front of your car and lobs snowballs at your windshield. What do you do?
A. Wait for him to move out of the way.
B. Step out of the car and ask him to move out of the way.
C. Step on the gas. He'll move."

If you intentionally hit someone with your car its called "assault with a deadly weapon."

that is also true if you toss a few fluffy/light/powdery snowballs at a vehicle

They didn’t.
“I just decided maybe if I get out, they’ll see that I’m 60 years old and I’m a human being,” Simmons said.
The moment he opened his car door, Oregon tight end Pharaoh Brown tossed a bucket-full of snow into Simmons’ face.

Are you fucking stupid or something? Do you want a bucket full of snow tossed into your car when you're driving to work? Or as this former professor was, to DONATE artwork to the school? They were pegging the snowballs at the windows pretty hard as well. I hope your father is treated this way someday, maybe you'll learn some empathy.

Again, see the "don't be a dick" meta post from Brian. Wishing ill will on someone's father and asking if they are fucking stupid is not nice.

Dude. I think this country is getting soft as hell as well, but these kids went wayyyyyyy over the line.

Getting hit with a hard packed snowball is like getting hit with a rock. I've been covered with bruises after snowball fights in the Arb and have seen my fair share of black eyes and bloody noses too. Give it up. The students were being assholes.

May as well give it up. You are talking to people who have been told their entire lives they are victims of something. You could hit them with a pillow and they'd call the police for assault. Just that kind of people.

The problem isn't so much a difference of opinion as it is you have demonstrated a neanderthal attitude this whole time and have been wholly misinformed on basic facts.

As much as you might disagree with dRich, this comment is pretty clearly in violation of the newly emphasized "don't be a dick" policy.

Wow. It's the fucking Internet. It's not like they physically assaulted you. Clearly there is a discussion going on, what do you expect driving right through it? People are so temperamental. #LightenUpFrancis
I find it utterly hilarious that you're whining about being the victim of a herd mentality after taking the side of the herd. How funny. Maybe it's not so exciting having a mob gang up on you after all. And these are just words on a screen; I'd hate to see how your thin-skinned ass would respond if you were the guy in the car.

But you're certainly being a puss about being in the minority in an Internet discussion. The overwhelming opinion is you're wrong (and it has nothing to do with communism) and you don't seem to be taking it all that well.

College kids throw snowballs. Go figure. So, just because a few people didn't have a sense of humor, what used to be a standard on every snowy campus in the US has been escalated by the media into an "incident."

I wasn't aware that pouring buckets of snow on 68 year old men was a "standard on every snowy campus in the US."
I guess I've really been missing out these past 4 years, gotta go find some senior citizens to pour snow on before I graduate.
