A woman in the Boston suburb of Belmont, Massachusetts, was out walking her dog last week when she saw a speeding motorist buzz too close to a man on a bike. Her response? She chucked a bag of doggie doo at the driver, and it sailed through his open window and nailed the man right in the face.
She has been charged with several offenses, including disorderly conduct and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, which was presumably the dog poop.
The Associated Press has the story here. Remember, if carrying dog poop is outlawed, only outlaws will carry dog poop.

Brava. Someone actually defending a cyclist. Amazing. Is there a fund to help cover her fine and costs?
I walk my dog every morning and I’m telling you, the next time a car buzzes me in the pedestrian lane, the driver’s going to be wearing a bag ofyou-know-what.
I hope she has a REALLY,REALLY big dog!!
Did the driver get cited for driving too close to the cyclist?
