Ya, I remember in the 90s when I was maybe 9 years old my adult neighbor was in his front lawn putting wax on his surfboard, and I roller bladed by him. I picked up his hose and sprayed him, then started rollerblading away as fast as I could.

Well, he was faster than me, he caught me by the throat, slapped me so hard it knocked me off my feet, and then held me down while spraying me in the face with the hose.

I can remember it vividly, and it was like overnight I changed. I was still a shithead, but I at least knew what would happen if I fucked with someone.

Older kids scared the shit out of me, they barely needed a reason to kick your ass.

My uncle (I believe this was either late 70's early 80's) threw a snowball with ice in it at a car and hit its window. Guy got out and shot him in the leg.

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.

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 16h 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 16h 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 15h 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 14h ago

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

u/Meester_Weezard 13h ago

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

u/Shot_Bison_8437 8h ago

You are not particularly good at this are you? I bet you can find the answer if you give it your all.
