Too bad they were not removed from gene pool.
Our gene pool needs a shock treatment.

At some point, the editorializing has to stop. Had this attack been on say a Biden presidential appearance and hit his lone supporter, there is no way that it'd be labeled ‘pranksters.’

‘..mistaking paintgun gun for real gun’? Ha-ha, look at that foolish gun owner who can't tell the difference during an attack.

Cheerleaders in the media encouraging such random attacks on citizens with this type of junk writing.

Dude obviously needs more time on the range and some practice under stress if he wasn’t able to hit his target at short range.

Reminds me of an instance from my youth in Chicago. A friend was being a smart ass and yelling idiotic racist comments to people on the street. It was all fun and games until one guy pulled a gun and put a few rounds through the front window of his car - well, actually it was his mothers car ;-)

That was a nice one for him explaining that to his parents.

Someone needs to explain the felony murder rule to these chaps. The drive by assault was likely a low grade felony meaning that if the victim kills a bystander the young lads get a long prison stretch.

Under fire and at a moving vehicle?

Probably seeking cover in the process as well.

Most of the commentators have never had any sort of incoming, moving target or duress applied to their shoooting training so they are sophomoric in criticism.

One ought to take a friend to the range, and try to replicate such situation while the friend fires paint balls at him from the flank and the target is moving across the range at 25-30 mph. Seeking cover while assessing, deciding and attempting to engage....

Let us know.

Do not bring a paint ball weapon to a gun fight.
