Somebody did a bad thing.

Lol, reminds me of how south park portrays Canadians.

there are people who have been shot with archery equipment and beaten with sticks. Pretty much a non-issue for me. Evil and stupidity lurk in every facet of our lives.
Just because it is in our hobby does not make it any more relevant.

Well said. 100000000% true.

 

[Trucker3573]

It’s the journalism degree that makes them fundamentally dishonest.

Ain’t that the truth. Lol.

Unless I missed something in the story, all he ended up doing was putting a hole in a window. While the ability to do significant damage was there, at the end of the day a Red Ryder would have put a hole in the window as well.

This guy is part of what I call my 10% rule. That is, 1 out of every 10 ppl you meet will be an asshole. Think about your own circles, the math is pretty solid.

Unfortunately there is little that can be done with our 10 percenters except endure & prosecute when possible.

All he ended doing? Hole in window? The ****** was shooting at humans in the trees… thank God he was a bad shot… He should be charged with attempted murder…

STUPID! x 20! On so many levels.

 

[HogKiller]

Why would he shoot the tree guys though? That's just insane. A 30 cal is going to mess someone's day up.

Any projectile, with the possible exception of Nurf ball has the potential to ruin someones day.

"Ruin someone's day" is an understatement. My .30 is LETHAL as I'm sure the Vulcan is too.

Ain’t no way I would ever shoot anyone with my Paradigm .30. That’s just nuts.
Many years ago I was tuck pointing my dad’s chimney on a story and a half house. My brother shot me in my bum with a foresters paintball. Hurt like hell but certainly didn’t break the skin like a .30 pellet would.

That's attempted homicide however you explain or excuse it. Fortunately the media has not yet demonized airguns much, so it sounds like something less than being shot at with a .22 (LR) rifle. It wasn't. The perp should be treated no differently than someone with a .30-06 taking pot shots at the guy in the tree.

[Deleted member 58109]

Not to far from me and less than a mile for one of my relatives.
More like what the hell were you thinking.
Didn't like hearing at all
Just puts things into the limelite that doesn't need to be.
Then again this new world
Nothing is surprising anymore

No one was hurt, thankfully, so everyone will just forget and move on with their lives.

Moron. Not so much what he hit, but where he intended his projectiles. No accountability for where they may land at the least.
I’m on the other side of the state. MA has minimal air gun laws relating to age, hunting and not shooting in public. This could ruin a good thing.

 

[Sleestak]

Let me guess.

Does the article begin with the words "Florida Man...."?

 

[Perle]

What’s that suppose to mean ? Florida … you wish to live here
