>>> He was just a guy with a rifle who wasn’t a very good shot. Calling him a sniper just gives him accolades he doesn’t deserve

I don’t know if that criticism applies in this case. Seventy attacks, seventy vehicles hit, seventy windows shot out, and nobody hurt. With that many attacks, somebody just popping away would surely have hurt someone. Credit where credit is due, this appears to be good precise shooting.

BB gun. Could have been hundreds of "attacks."

I called him a bad shot because I was under the assumption that he was aiming at the driver. In wich case he never learned how to lead a shot. If he was aiming for the rear window and hit it 70 out of 70 times then yeah, that’s pretty good.

He was shooting a BB gun, so the pellet would have expended its energy breaking the window, leaving little to harm somebody inside the car. Any misses would have left a nick on the car body or just landed on the roadway.

That said, they should give him a year for each incident, meaning he should never get out.
