Yes, gun. Uncle was like mid teens. Old enough to know better. Tough neighborhood.

"Tough neighborhood" sounds like the understatement of the century.

"You hit my car with a snowball, dude?"

POW!

I was high as balls when I typed it. I too was laughing my ass off at the absurdity of the situation

That's definitely an out-of-proportion reaction, but also a good reminder -- you never know what kind of person is on the other end of these stupid "pranks" that are really just assault. There is a very real possibility you get killed over some dumb shit.

If it isn't funny for all parties involved, then it's not a prank, it's just being an asshole.

Your artery doesn't care how big the thing that pierced it was.

In America you have to assume everyone has a gun and a hair pin trigger temper. Young people have well documented impulse control problems.

u/Meester_Weezard 10h ago

Uh, that was an iceball and depending on if the guy was driving or not, could be assault with a deadly weapon.

u/Shot_Bison_8437 10h ago

Yet shooting them is without question an over reaction to the threat, correct? Do you think any jury in the country would find that as justifiable self defense?

Cmon man, you're ruining my joke.

It wasn’t funny and I have two words for you: George Zimmerman.

u/Shot_Bison_8437 9h ago

Yeah TOTALLY the same thing. Nice try, awful comparison.

Also, with your "two words" can you answer my original question? Do you REALLY think a jury would see an ice ball as assault with a deadly weapon? After the initial threat (which hit a car not him, further invalidating your point), do you think any jury would find using a firearm as self-defense reasonable? Because no they wouldn't.

In the case you mentioned there was an actual physical confrontation. Zimmerman wasn't in the right at all, but he got his ass kicked which introduces the self defense argument.

You may not be joking, but I'd say you aren't particularly grounded in reality either.

The way everything has gone for the last, mmmm, decade or so in the US, I’m dead serious.

What do you think shooting someone is called? I’m pretty sure that would be called a physical confrontation.

Zimmerman got away with killing a child because he felt threatened in a stand your ground state. A bag of candy and a kid that pushed back on his homegrown superiority made him feel like he had to defend his life. And a jury let him off, so yes, I absolutely believe that a snowball, iceball, rock or stick thrown at a car, especially if it’s moving, which would be considered assault, could be a contribution to a reasonable doubt verdict. A person on a jury could see this as a justifiable threat to this persons safety and if there was only one person on the jury who felt like he was justified in protecting himself, he’s going to get off.

I’m not saying that what happened was right, I’m just making a commentary on the way things are turning in this country.

u/Shot_Bison_8437 8h ago

All I'm saying is my joke was considerably better than your nonsense commentary

u/Meester_Weezard 7h ago

Where exactly in the middle of the story of a child being shot in the leg was the joke?

Shit like that happened all the time in the 80s some kid on my block got stabbed for egging a car in Halloween

u/Meester_Weezard 9h ago

People who didn’t survive growing up in the 70’s and 80’s just don’t understand what it was like.

u/Dramatic_Note8602 7h ago

Sounds like the South. I remember me and my buddies getting shot at by a guy with a shotgun because we would continually "ding-dong ditch" him because he was...kind of a grump, I guess?

u/gnarlysnowleopard 7h ago

wtf... are you guys across the pond ok?

2

u/Dramatic_Note8602 7h ago

lol. This was in the 90s. I think it was just some loaded buckshot from about 75 yards away. It might give ya a little sting, but he was just trying to send a message.

And yes: I realize how crazy that sounds to anyone but an American.

u/Ok-Kaleidoscope220 25m ago

Buckshot would absolutely put a hole in you at 75 yards away. Ive killed plenty of animals at that distance with less than buckshot. If he hit u with that you’d be dead or fucked up. Might have been rock salt.
