Young skier throws snowball at restaurant: Now he's facing prison!

A harmless joke with serious consequences! A 20-year-old Frenchman throws a giant snowball from a chairlift onto a restaurant terrace on February 28 in Alpe d'Huez, a popular ski resort in the French Alps. The viral video of him shouting the words “bon appétit” has been viewed millions of times and caused a storm of outrage, like oe24 reported. The snowball did not hit an empty table as planned, but instead injured a 61-year-old man in the face, whose glasses were broken by the impact. As a result, the judiciary initiated proceedings because the accusation was “intentional use of force with a weapon” – and the snowball counts as such!

Legal consequences and outrage

Local police in Bourg-d'Oisans have begun an investigation and the young man could face up to three years in prison and a fine. Fabrice Boutet, managing director of the “Société d’Aménagement Touristique d’Alpe d’Huez”, said that the incident should not remain without consequences and he recommended that the affected guest also take legal action. The injured man is not only physically but also psychologically stressed - a frightening experience, how oe24 reported.

In a completely different context, a veterinary clinic worker from Nashville caused a stir on TikTok. 25-year-old Aiden Mann showed in a video how he gently wakes up his deaf and blind dog Plum. The clip received over 51 million views within a few days and prompted numerous emotional comments, including from celebrities. In addition to providing Plum with a loving environment, Mann uses the platform to raise awareness about specific breeding practices that can lead to disabilities. This aspect highlighted Business Insider out.

Plum, a miniature Australian Shepherd, suffers from double merle genetics due to her breeding practices, which led to her limitations. Through the popularity of his videos, Mann hopes to raise awareness of this issue and send a positive message to the trans community - that everyone, regardless of their differences, deserves love and a happy life.
