[Shep] They assaulted that man's property! He had the right to defend himself!! [/Shep]
Anyway, the guy kept driving past, saying that if they lobbed any more tomatoes, he'd shoot them. Guess he wasn't kidding.

If Religion and Politics were characters on a soap opera, Religion would be the one that goes insane with jealousy over Politics' intimate relationship with Reality, and secretly murder Politics in the night, skin the corpse, and run around its apartment wearing the skin like a cape shouting "My votes now! All votes for me! Wheeee!" -- Lagmonster

There goes THAT tradition.
Throwing stuff at people in a random way like this is playing the lunatic lottery. Your chances of winning are small, but there is AWAYS a winner, no matter how many or few play.
Lucky you, you found the nutjob!
What once was ok, is not any more. Kids can't play with toy guns that look real, and pissing off random strangers is not safe. Kids can't trick or treat unsupevised, without some dissapearing. Holloween is now an adult holiday, more than a kids thing.

Thing I found amazing was...he passed that same section like 3 TIMES!!! Obviously the driver should at least realize what's going on the second time and why is he even going back and forth anyway?~Jason
I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."
Amish and PAINTBALL GUNS!?!? Anyway they were warned and got what was comming. What the man did was wrong, but I do not shed a single tear for the death of that idiot.Keim was with about 10 other members of the Amish community, ages 15 to 23. The group told the sheriff's office they had been throwing tomatoes and firing paintball guns at passing vehicles.

The fact that this guy came back so many times should have been a red flag for these guys.
I guess producing a gun from a car doesn't happen much in their world. The man wanted to confront these pranksters, and they didn't do what normal juvinile pranksters do when the fun starts going south.
At the first sign of trouble, do the "fast fade, let's laugh our asses off after we lose this clown in the dust" escape.
They stood there ground. BAD idea. A child's responce of flight would have changed them from shit startin' adults, to fucking brats. By not fleeing this confrontaion, and calling the nut's bluff, they signaled him they wanted a fight. Stupid Amish, bringing tomatoes to a gunfight!
They sent mixed messages about what they were.
This tradition is now cancelled.

<IDF>Well, technically, a frozen tomato could cause serious eye damage if thrown at a man's head, so the man had a legitimate reason to fear for his safety. Hence, he responded with necessary force</IDF>HemlockGrey wrote:Who the fuck opens fire with a shotgun after being hit by a tomatoe? Is this man ex-IDF?

*Sigh* Do we really need to turn every fucking thread into a "Let's bash Israel" thread, especially since we have a moratorium on Israel vs. Palestine threads.
As for the piece of news being discussed here, yes the man overreacted, and yes the kid is an idiot for not getting the fuck out of there.
Have a very nice day.

What is the connection between the IDF, and a nut case?
Nice cheap dig. Nice innuendo.
When the Amish change to stones, target police, try to kill, and have a sniper using the rock throwers as cover, we will talk.
This was the unfortunate combination of bad judgement combined with bad luck. They won the loony lotto. FEW ever survive such bad luck, as psycopaths with guns are pretty rare. You could go your whole life pissing off people without dying, same as playing the lotto.

Seriously, throwing tomatoes is not punishable by death. The man should be locked up forever.
