TGIS: Thank God It's Schadenfreude! (313)

This week's joy in the misfortune of others comes courtesy of the Associated Press (from Monday, March 21; link good at time of posting):

Police say a bride was arrested at her own wedding reception near Phoenix after she kicked a police officer.

....

Officers responding to a call found a large brawl in the backyard of the home and told everyone to stop fighting. But the commotion continued, and police officers pepper-sprayed the crowd. [Police spokesman Hugh] White says people then got angry and aggressive toward the officers and that [bride Angela] Davito charged a partygoer.

He says Davito then kicked an officer and was arrested on charges of assault and obstructing governmental operations.
