#5  Definition of a nancy-boy: toss a tomato at a girl. Miss girl. Hit police officer 10 feet away.

#4  I suspect that the Police Commander might not feel so lenient towards that idiot. Unless that tomato was really ripe it would have hurt like he11.

#3  It was an accident. He meant to hit Palin, and she's fair game. So may not press charges.

#1  At least he wasn't throwing shoes - they'd hurt more than a squishy tomato.
