No big deal unless that BB hit you, right?

Hell, we used to have BB gun wars on my uncle's farm!

Have 2 eyes now? If so, you are lucky. Other's were not. Like I said,
kids
shooting bb guns has ruined a man's life. It is inexcusable to shoot
at
passing cars.

So, you agree that they should be charged with Terroristic acts????
Hmm, I find it odd that you right wingers are pro gun, except when it
comes to something personal. And sure, it's wrong to shoot at passing
cars, who said it wasn't? But, I'll tell you this, with a little Daisy,
by the time that bb gets to the car, it's going REAL SLOW. Should we
outlaw sticks, too? They've been known to take people's eyes out. Hell,
maybe even more eyes have been lost to sticks. The Consumer Product
Safety Commission estimates that in 2003, there were 550,000 to 600,000
injuries associated with bicycles and 97,640 injuries from skateboards
that required emergency room treatment, compared with 19,504 for air
guns -- including the high-powered air guns.

I know, I shouldn't say anything to you, so I'll be nice.

Even if the bb is going 'very' slow, wouldn't the speed of the car still
be able
to cause the impact to be severe? Did you ever see what a small rock,
going very
slow, does to the windshield of a car going 60mph?

Oh, ****!!!! I spilled my water bottle laughing at that!!! Hmm, that
would mean that the kids would have to be in FRONT of the vehicle. If
they were behind then the car could be going faster than the bb. Would
that make the driver of the CAR guilty of terroristic threats?

The law in Georgia specifies terroristic acts.

I didn't say "terroristic acts", it's great how you twist things to
make it sound like you know what you're talking about. I said
"terroristic THREATS". Show me that GA law.

No? I guess you don't even know what you initially posted. Here is one
sentence from that post of yours: "Now, a couple of young boys in northern
GA were arrested for "terroristic acts"."

Idiot.

Are you asking for
agreement/disagreement with the laws of Georgia? Why? So your slam at DHS
will
make sense?

How about just saying, "OK, I made a mistake."
