No Good Tomatoes Were Hurt in the Filming of this Story.

Today I threw Tomatoes. We did a story about teens who went on a rampage inside an Arab grocery store. Besides yelling, cussing, knocking cans off of shelves and pouring dog food in the floor, they also threw tomatoes.

So to do the story right, we knew we needed some tomatoes to show what they might have looked like hitting the store window. We are lucky to have our office right next to a Piggly Wiggly. We went over and they happily gave us some tomatoes that were on their way to being thrown out.

They didn't bust open when they hit the wall as much as we thought they would. They just kind of hit the wall and bounced off. But it was still better video than having nothing.
