DETROIT -- A federal judge in Grand Rapids sentenced two recent college graduates to 30 days in jail for protesting U.S. Sen. Carl Levin's stance on foreign policy by putting an apple pie in his face.

Ahlam Mohsen and Max Kantar were sentenced Tuesday by U.S. District Court Judge Robert Holmes Bell and handed over to U.S. marshals.


Mohsen and Kantar were arrested in August 2010 after Mohsen attacked the Democrat with the pie during a meeting with constituents at a Big Rapids deli, about 50 miles north of Grand Rapids.

Folmar said Mohsen and Kantar took opposition to the U.S. involvement in wars overseas that resulted in the deaths of innocent children. Levin, as chair of the Senate Armed Services Committee, represented that involvement.

Pies in the face use to be part of comedy, now it is assault, we have come a long way!

I remember when it was Soupy Sails trademark and he even got Sinatra!
