Paintball freaks in my area

A cyclist was hit by paintballs less than 2 blocks from where I live. Honestly, I don’t know how people can find it funny to do such things. Does this type of thing happen in other countries or is this a USA phenomenon?

What would have been funnier is if the cyclist had a .38 and shot back… but of course if would have been the cyclist who would have been charged…

They prefer to use cars to hit cyclists in Spain.

I had some assholes shoot paintballs at me outside of Charlotte, NC. First and hopefully only time that will happen. Also had folks throw pennies at my butt from car window…its such a large target, I guess they can’t resist.

They use cars in the USA as well. I guess I’ll have to carry my cellphone with me at all times. What’s really bad is the place where this happened is only two blocks away from a police station. I see cops on that road all the time.

I’d be careful with your terminology.
There is a difference between Paintball Freaks, and freaks with paintball markers.

The average paintball playing crowd tend to be pretty nice, civilized, law abiding citizens.
I’m not saying there aren’t young idiots with paintball guns, but watch how you say it.

It’s like calling that fan man riding an electric bike down the center of the road a roadie. You don’t like it when people stereotype against us, don’t start another war in your community.

When I say paintball freaks, that pertains to those criminals that do such things. And it doesn’t seem that uncommon these days unfortunately. I love riding my bike, but when these thing happen outside your home it makes you rethink things.

Please send em to my neighborhood so they can shoot at my neighbors barking dogs.
