Greenville, SC, police search for suspect ID'd through his YouTube videos.

South Carolina police are looking for a suspect in a series of whipped cream assaults, who was identified from his own YouTube channel. Andre Eugene Moore-Gerald of Greenville, also identified through CCTV footage, is wanted on charges of third-degree assault and battery, according to Greenville police. Sgt. Johnathan Bragg says Moore-Gerald is implicated in several incidents Wednesday in which an assailant hit bystanders in the face with a plate of whipped cream, per WYFF. Bragg says one woman was pushing her child in a stroller on a sidewalk in the downtown area when she was targeted around 2:30pm. Police shared a photo of the 22-year-old suspect, holding a plate of whipped cream, taken from CCTV footage.

Assault is assault, regardless of what is used as a weapon. You might argue that whipped cream isn't much of a weapon, but a thrown plate could do some damage.

I guess throwing a whipped cream pie at someone may not seem a horrendous crime to some. Yeah, it's stupid. But making videos of yourself throwing them, and putting them on YouTube is really, really stupid.
