NEWS FLASH: CWF SABOTEUR APPREHENDED!
 
Canterlot The Canterlot Royal Guard has apprehended the pegasus responsible for last weeks winter disaster at the Cloudsdale Weather Factory (CWF). Rainbow Dash, age withheld, may face charges of public endangerment, vandalism, industrial sabotage and property destruction.
 
They left me no choice. Winter was coming fast and I had to stop it, says the pegasus, who revealed no real intent for the sabotage. Close friends had noted her erratical behaviour before committing the heinous act. The pegasus was last heard uttering Id do it again!, before being escorted away.
 
Cloudsdale is still recovering from the CWF mishap, estimated to cost the city state 3.4 million bits as it recovers from the loss of almost half of the weather facility, Cloudsdales largest employer. The Celestia Administration has condemned the sabotage, calling it extremely reckless.
 
Ponyville, now blanketed by rogue snowfall ahead of the original schedule, is also reeling from the calamity. The Ponyville Winter Wrap-Up coordination team has convened and has already marked several areas as disaster zones.
 
Investigations continue.

I know this is an old comment, but I think it’s highly unlikely we’ll see an episode where Rainbow does weather duties since she’s now a Wonderbolt and most likely retired from the weather factory because of it.
 
I am, however, totally in agreement that Rainbow Dash should be arrested and thrown in jail for destroying the weather factory, `cuz as of right now, she’s still a wanted fugitive.

I’d be happy to see an episode where she actually does her alleged job. I think sabotaging the weather is the first time we’ve seen her doing official weather business since “Hurricane Fluttershy.” It got brought up in “Magical Mystery Cure” only because the confused Rarity took it over. There have got to be ways to write interesting episodes about weather control that don’t make Dashie look unfit for the job.

You didn’t think that being chummy with a Princess was going to get you out of this one, did you, Dash?
 
The pixelated cutie mark is a nice touch.

It’s all about egos, really. Rainbow Dash has a huge one, so it’s considered more engaging to have that pulled down. Meanwhile, for someone who has a small ego (or revealed to actually have a much smaller one than we expected, like Rarity), it’s probably going to try to boost it.

Nothing good ever happens to RD in her episodes, it’s bad enough the writers out of the blue decided she cares about Tank so much she can’t get over its hibernation. Extra punishment would be an overkill, however small.
 
Geez writers, give her a happy episode already. It’s nothing but trials and tribulations for her.

It either went like this, with Dash muttering “And I would have gotten away with it, if it weren’t for you meddling-”
 
Or it would have had managers agreeing to drop charges if she told them how she accomplished their entire job in about five minutes. Think of all the efficiency they could have next time!

The simplest explanation is that Rainbow Dash was never caught. Nobody saw her enter or leave. If her friends didn’t report her, she probably got away with it.

I think it would make the already tearjerker episode into something far more heartwrenching and very hard to sit through.
 
Like… Rainbow Dash would lose her pet (if only for a few months), and she’d be branded a criminal.

The sentence would likely be reduced. Probably along the lines of ‘Permanent Ban from the Weather Factory’ and ‘Not allowed within the city limits of Cloudsdale for X years.’

Wouldn’t Dash be “excused” because of her friendship and connection with royalty, as well as her actions with saving Equestria on multiple occasions?
