Well, it is a good thing that no one ever tried lighting a string of firecrackers and sling-shoting them into the middle of some of these groups of youth “blowing off steam”.
Everyone and his brotha’ would have their pistols out in a flash and be blazing away at each other. With that many people around, even idiots shooting “gangsta style” would be bound to hit someone.
Terrible tragedy...
Maybe they’ll reconsider attending the next ‘flash mob’.
You might be on to something there.
There’s a toy called a water balloon slingshot that works up to about a block away. With the right weighting, a pack of fire crackers could be hurled from a safe distance.
