WUSSVILLE: A Favorite Childhood Winter Pastime Is Illegal In One American City

Written by Wes Walker on December 5, 2019

What’s next? Outlawing sledding? Swimming in a public pool?

The bubble-wrap brigade is on patrol, looking out for people having fun, and determined to put an end to it…

‘for our own good’, of course.

What is the dangerous and offending winter practice?

Snowball fights.

A Wisconsin city has made it illegal to throw snowballs — ranking them alongside rocks and arrows as an outlawed weapon.

“No person shall throw or shoot any object, arrow, stone, snowball or other missile or projectile, by hand or by any other means, at any other person,” the municipal code in Wausau reads.

The ordinance, under the section for “weapons,” also says snowballs cannot be thrown “at, in or into any building, street, sidewalk, alley, highway, park, playground or other public place within the city.”

“It’s really in the interest of public safety,” Wausau Mayor Robert B. Mielke told WCCO of the ruling he actually introduced a few years ago.

Arrows?

Stones?

What about water balloons, can we have a ruling on them, too your majesty?

Whatever happened to the old days were common sense was a guiding principle?
