Woman held for Furby attack on boyfriend

US police have arrested a woman for assaulting her live-in boyfriend with a Furby toy during a row over a post on Facebook.

Officers say Ashley Trimmer, 27, of Moor township, Pennsylvania, threw the soft toy at her boyfriend, William Ley, striking him on the side of his face.

She then allegedly threw a Sony Playstation controller at the other side of his head, causing some bleeding, reports The Smoking Gun.

Moon police Chief Leo McCarthy told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review that officers had to make an arrest when people were injured in cases of domestic assault, no matter how minor.

Trimmer was charged with simple assault after the incident, which happened in the early hours of the morning. She was released after her mother posted $2,000 bail.

Just further proof that anything is a weapon depending mostly on what is available.

Crazy stuff happens. A few years ago a man and his girlfriend were arguing, she was shoving him around, and she followed him into the bathroom, shoved him backwards, he hit the rim of the tub and as he was falling backwards, as a reflex action he grabbed at her to break his fall. He did hurt her arm because he had grabbed it when he fell backwards. Cops came, even with a witness telling them she was the aggressor, the guy goes to jail. He ends up with a broken wrist and a claim of domestic violence on him. Another battle won in the war on women.

Why blame the woman? Shouldn’t the Furby take personal responsibility and be held be accountable for its own actions?

BTW...I’m not sure which question on the BATF[E] Form 4473 tripped it up.

It may be Chinese in which case might have been caught on the illegal alien question though highly unlikely.

So I’m betting on it being an "anchor" Furby with a prior record of domestic abuse.

Tips

When trying to get two furbies to communicate, try putting them under a lamp or bright light. Make sure their eyes are at an equal level so their sensors are aligned.
If you want furby to sleep, the best thing to do might be to just leave him alone for about 5 minutes. Eventually he'll get tired.
If you want furby to play a game and he is not listening, try tilting him from side to side and then repeating the pattern to get the game to start over.
Sometimes it's okay to punish your furby. Flip him upside down and shake him. He will either say he's worried or "Kah Boh-bay". He'll surely learn his lesson.
If furby does a trick you really like, pet him on the back twice. Each time he does the trick, pet him twice. After a while he will do the trick each time you call for it.
If your furby sneezes a few times in a row, beware! He could be getting sick. Be sure to feed it around 5 times and see what happens.
If your furby is not responding to anything it might be in Hide-And-Go-Seek mode. Turn him upside down until it says "Me done." He should then be back to normal.
It is easier to get furbies to sing to eachother by clapping your hands or leaving them alone for 2 minutes. Also, the clapping your hands may just make them dance - which is also very cute.
Sometimes when putting two furbies together they will not communicate at first. Try activating one's sensors.
The back petting sensor on the furbies runs all the way up and down. You can press it near the top of the hair and all the way down to underneath the tail, if you hit him just right.
A box tip: Keep your furby box in tack. When you get them, they can be a pain to open. (Ours took 25 minutes to open) Don't rip it, and try to keep the instructions in good condition. This will make your furby worth more, especially for all of us with the "Retired" versions of furby.
If your furby is saying "Bring, Bring. Bring, Bring" he is imitating a phone ringing.
Furbies can come from one of about four plants. Furbies from each plant may have some different variables, for instance, one from the RL plant might have a textured mouth, while one from the WT plant may have a smooth, yellow mouth. We'd love to hear your differences. Send them to us so we can make a page comparing the different plants.
There are 3 different pitches for furby voices. The medium pitch is the most common. Most furbies have this. There is a higher pitch that is extremely annoying. This can be gotten by resetting your furby numerous times. There is also a lower pitch - which I've never heard.
