ANSONIA, Conn. -- Ansonia police said a prank turned potentially dangerous when a man angry about a snowball hitting his car allegedly pulled a knife on a group of youths and kidnapped one of them. No one was injured. Joshua Good, 25, was scheduled for arraignment Monday in Superior Court on charges including first-degree kidnapping, threatening and reckless endangerment. The kidnapping charge carries 10 to 25 years in prison. Police said a group of youths was throwing snowballs near Colony Park Friday night when Good's car was hit. Police said Good threatened the youths with a knife and forced a 13-year-old boy into his car. Authorities said Good drove the boy home and didn't hurt him.
Relax, Jack Bauer. Maybe I'm biased because I used to be a sniper in the snowball hitting cars game but this seems a little extreme. First off, these kids played it all wrong. You gotta build a bunker or some sort of fox hole and by no means do you ever leave it, even under heavy enemy fire. That's just acorn wars 101. So, yeah this guy was in the wrong by pulling a knife and kidnapping the kid but it should have never got to that point. It's not like there is a lack of snow out there. You keep firing at the target until you're out of ammunition and when all else fails, retreat. Don't stand in front of the dude with a knife as he threatens to force you into his car. That's how you become a prisoner of war, boys and girls.
