My Posts This: Topic Forum | Driving home a couple days ago, bout 9:45 at night and I see something small (looked like a rock) fly in front of my truck. Next thing I know, I hear three loud bangs on the side of my truck. Slammed on the breaks and stuck my head out the window, I had been hit by three or four paintballs.
It was a pretty quiet area, mostly nice houses. I had just passed two white trash trailers. You know, the ones with all the trash in the yard and at least three broken down camaros out back. Obviously, a couple of them were hiding in the ditch shooting cars that went by.
I couldn't find anyone when I turned around, probably because they were hiding amongst the trash piles. Called the cops anyway because it was obvious where they came from. There were paintballs splattered all over the street in front of one of the houses, as well as on the street signs and street light. Cop finally shows up about 40 minutes later. First thing he does is check my license and insurance to make sure I wasn't breaking the law (pisses me off) and then he asks me "Well, what would you like me to do?" after I explained what had happened.
I told him I expected that he had a duty to go over to that house and find out who was shooting the cars, in the interest of safety of course. An old lady may not have reacted so well and might have ended up in the ditch with a heart attack.
I played paintball for years and would never think of shooting a car, this happened in rural GA, I'd be afraid of getting shot for that.
3 small dents in the side of my truck now, these kids had to be pretty close for that.
Picked up the police report and the officers info says he was unable to locate the offending individuals....what a joke as you could tell exactly where the paintballs had been coming from. |
