Spinoff from a reply in the mizzoufag thread, but could I get arrested if I threw a water moccasin at someone? What if they were in a confined space like a car? What if it made them swerve and wreck into a car full of drunk kids that just left TGI Fridays?


tl;dr poisonous snake thrown at someone else

Probably.
Maybe you would be ok if you just put it in the general vicinity and just sort of guided the snake to the victim.

Well don't you think the OP should get at least some credit for pretty good imagination and grammar usage?

I think it's illegal to assault someone else with an object.

Doesn't matter it it's alive or not, if the person was harmed I think something could be made of it.

Of course you'd have to probably be caught on video doing it.

Obama needs to take executive action to ban assault snakes

I'd guess I could hope for a sideways World Star video.

What if I was scared of it and just threw it, and it landed on someone


Eta: And technically you wouldn't be assaulting the other person, the snake would

When my grandfather was young, he and his friends put a bobcat in a suitcase and left it on the side of the road. Someone picked it up. Hilarity ensued.

Assuming you have good aim and it hits the target, Aggravated battery broa constrictor

If you suck at throwing, aggravated assault

Might also be attempted homocide.

If they die that's homocide or manslaughter

If they are a fireman, police officer or cab driver, could be first degree charge but they'd have to show specific intent to kill or inflict great bodily harm

If they get in wreck and someone dies, add felony murder charge.

Way too many permutations to say for sure....but go for it.

What if you stuck a knife in his mouth, blade out. Would that make the snake the primary aggressor and you secondary? That might clear you of any charges.

Throwing a poisonous snake at someone would probably result in a felonious assault at the least.

Do it and post pics.
