An 11-year-old girl who threw a stone at a group of
boys pelting her with water balloons is being prosecuted on serious
assault charges in California.
...
"The confrontation happened in a poor district of Fresno, in central California, where Maribel Cuevas lives with her Spanish-speaking family.
The girl, who speaks little English, has admitted throwing a stone at a group of boys she says were pestering her with water balloons as she walked down the street.
An ambulance was called, but arrived flanked by three police patrol vehicles. A helicopter meanwhile hovered overhead.
The 11-year-old was then read her rights twice in English before being detained. (note: earlier in the article, they mention her family speaks spanish, and she has limited English skills)
"We responded. We determined a felony assault had taken place and the officers took the actions that were necessary," said Fresno Police Sergeant Anthony Martinez.
Another police officer told ABC News that the girl, when asked what she thought would happen if she threw the stone, replied that it would make him "bleed"."

Really, they're just trying to show a message to all the brown youth in Amerikkka. Don't even think about an American Intifada.
