Another Arrest

On the other hand, they should throw the book at this guy.

This business of throwing pies in the faces of politicians to make a political point is not a joke. The groups who engage are also implicitly boasting of their ability to assassinate if they so wished. Fisheries minister Gail Shea is right to call this assault a "terrorist act." It ain't 9/11, obviously, but it's nonetheless meant to terrorize. Under Canadian law, assault without a weapon is punishable by up to 5 years in prison.

Here's hoping that the pie-thrower serves at least a portion of such a sentence.
