Stupid Teenagers Smashed With Gallon of Justice
The three Northern Virginia teenagers who created a stupid worldwide craze by taking fake falls on supermarket floors while busting open jugs of milk and juice are finally getting mopped up. By the law.
Members of Occupy D.C. who were arrested last December when the protest group erected a barn-like structure in McPherson Square were found guilty today of disorderly conduct—along with other charges for some—by a magistrate judge in D.C. Superior Court.
A fight over whether Mayor Vince Gray should appear as a defense witness led to the postponement of Ward 6 ANC Commissioner Keith Silver’s trial on disorderly conduct charges stemming from his arrest at a voting rights protest.
According to a new law which went into effect on Friday, someone who is being excessively loud in the District could risk being put behind bars. The Georgetown Dish reports this morning about the new law, the Disorderly Conduct Amendment Act of 2010, which significantly bumps up fines for noise violations and continues to allow officers of the Metropolitan Police Department to place offenders under arrest, imprisoning those that are making noise which is “likely to annoy” for up to 90 days.
