Sandwich thrower case is as stupid as promised!

[Bernardo de La Paz]

15. Not really. 1) Most people are not that stupid, 2) Their cases are unlikely to be "cause celebres" like this,

3) Police and NG are likely to be told to write the guy a ticket for $70, which they should have done in the first place. Thus mischief makers are unlikely to get much publicity at all.

4) But they take a risk they'd get shot and they know it.

5) Unreported, and I do not know, but I think this was impulsive, not "malice aforethought", which mitigates in his favour, but less likely to be a defence in other cases because this case got so much publicity.
