Justice, friends, flies swiftly, like a shaving cream pie through space or Wendi Deng‘s fist through a smug expression. Unless you are the family of a murdered teen girl who was given false hope that she might still be living, of course. In which case: Not so swift!

In any case, Jonathan “Jonnie Marbles” May-Bowles — possibly better known as “the guy who threw a pie at Rupert Murdoch” — has been sentenced to jail for his actions. May-Bowles had pleaded guilty to having assualted Murdoch during his hearing. He will spend three weeks of his six week-long sentence in prison and will have to pay $407 in costs, as well as a $25 “victim’s fee.”

In response, May-Bowles put on a comically small hat and proceeded to be chased by a several policemen in and out of various hallways.

I hate Rupert Murdoch and everything he represents, but this guy is a idiot who deserves every second of jail time he gets.

Didnt you get the memo? The en vouge liberal conspiracy is that he was on Murdoch’s payroll.

You really got to keep up with things if you want to stay on point. Geez its Amateur hour today.

I’m with you on this one, Redleaf. A 3-month sentence would’ve been better.

Really? Jail time for a whipped cream pie?..Dont you think community service and a fine would be more appropriate?

PRISON?!

Are you frelling kidding me. Come on, in the US, you have county lockups and they are not called prisons. They are jails.

If this nut is going to prison, I would like the name of the “PRISON” that he is going to.

Hey author, are you attempting to make it seem worse than it really is? Yeah, more than likely.
