Brickbat: Running Afoul of the Law

Police in South Carolina arrested Alexander Paul Roberts Lewis, a teaching assistant at West Florence High School, on charges of malicious injury to property and disrupting a school. Lewis is accused of spraying fart spray in the school on several days between August 25 and September 19. Students and staff experienced nausea, dizziness, headaches, and respiratory trouble, and the school spent about $55,000 on inspections and repairs.

Anyone with 4 names is guilty of something.

[Stupid Government Tricks]

Hoarding.

Henry Walton "Indiana" Jones is guilty of theft from numerous native tribes, statutory rape, forcing a small Asian boy into slave labor, destruction of property in the billions, and mass murder on a scale that would make Ted Bundy blush. And that's just the stuff we know about. So you're probably onto something.

They named the dog Indiana.

He looks like a Democratic Party creeper that shouldn’t be anywhere near children.

Scumby Chimp-Chump's nickname in school was "Fart Spray"!

[Vernon Depner]

Kind of like what Sullum does here.

His stuff is more damaging, but I like the spirit.

Come on, have the guts to release one naturally. LITERALLY.

Imagine being prosecuted for that [one's natural gas].

requiring children to receive medical attention for respiratory issues

Each of those children need to be left in the deep woods, alone, for a minimum of one month with nothing more than a flint, a knife, and the clothes on their back. Any who survive can come back to school.

Actually make their parents do that too.

The buzzards would enjoy it most.

Does this mean that the school could attempt to make farting illegal if no one wants the liberty of unschooled farts as a potential masking resort?

Perhaps avoidance of a farting hegemony could be just the thing if someone can make a canned spray that smells like taxation.

I can see someone thinking they are funny and doing this once but multiple time requires explanation. Did he want to get the school dismissed so he could have a day off?
In high school a number of us had squirt guns filled with skunk spray and would stalk each other in the stairwells. A couple got caught and suspended so that was the end. I don't recall anyone needing medical attention, just new clothes.
