When I grew up - or was - A felony was a really bad sucker - bank robber - murder death kill...
Now backing into a trash can is a felony if you drive away.

A couple years ago, some kids around here were arrested and charged
with a felony for throwing "Sweet Tarts" at a passing teachers car.

No damage of any kind..

its California Vehicle code 23110

23110. (a) Any person who throws any substance at a vehicle or any
occupant thereof on a highway is guilty of a misdemeanor.
(b) Any person who with intent to do great bodily injury
maliciously and willfully throws or projects any rock, brick, bottle,
metal or other missile, or projects any other substance capable of
doing serious bodily harm at such vehicle or occupant thereof is
guilty of a felony and upon conviction shall be punished by
imprisonment in the state prison.

They dropped it to misdomeaners later after the bail had been set and
the parents were out quite a few thousand dollars.

It happened in a parking lot at a school.

Btw..for no US readers..sweet tarts are small pill sized candies that
are both sweet and sour. About the size of a medium sized vitamin
tablet.

As far as cell phones go, a guy around here is in trouble because
he kicked in the door panel of a car recently. The car in question
was being driven by a cell-phone yakking moron - around a school bus
with its stop lights flashing, loading kids.

The guy blew a gasket and kicked in Mr. Caller-Driver's car side.

The cops arrested him and he's charged with a felony.... I wish
*I* was on that jury though!

A felony for bashing a door panel?

"Pax Americana is a philosophy. Hardly an empire.
Making sure other people play nice and dont kill each other (and us)
off in job lots is hardly empire building, particularly when you give
them self determination under "play nice" rules.

Think of it as having your older brother knock the **** out of you
for torturing the cat." Gunner
