‘McMissile’ moment lands mother in jail.

WASHINGTON - To the locals, it's the "McMissile" case.

And like the name, the details of it spill forth like a bad joke: A woman is driving north on Interstate 95. Three kids squirm in the back seat, and her sister, six months pregnant and having early contractions, sits in the front. The stress starts to simmer. Traffic slows, then crawls, then creeps. More stress. A car cuts in front of her, then scoots away. A short time later, it darts in again. She can no longer take it. She veers onto the shoulder and speeds up. Wham! She tosses a large McDonald's cup filled with ice into the other car.

She got supersoaked by a supersized MickeyD I read the MSNBC artice and would say either there was a bit more going on in court than was reported or I'm staying out of Stafford County Virgnia. I guess it's another case of "ROAD RAGE".

She deserved what she got. Like someone else said "Don't do the crime if you can't do the time." What would have happened if she had caused an accident and someone had gotten hurt?

I have to admit, my first thought upon reading this story was :

"Now McDonalds will have to reprint 500 bazillion drink cups to read 'Caution: Contents May Be Cold and/or Hard. Please Do Not Throw' ."

I think the judge dropped the charges against her today.

That's ridiculous! It was a cup of ice, not some kind of bomb! If I was the judge, I wouldn't waste my time on such a stupid case. Some of these people I would love to whack over the read a few times!
