Are you tired of the morons that shoot paintballs at cars?

MOUNT HOPE, Ohio -- A motorist whose car was pelted with tomatoes as he passed a cornfield fired a shotgun into the field, killing a 23-year-old man.

Steven Keim was with about 10 others, ages 15 to 23, who were hiding in the field Monday night, throwing tomatoes and firing paintball guns at passing cars, the Holmes County sheriff's office said.

According to the sheriff's department, after the car was struck with tomatoes, the driver stopped, got out and and fired three to five rounds into the cornfield, striking Keim multiple times. No one has been arrested.

I didn't know there was a rash of these sorts of incidents...

...but you can bet that would be the response in Texas as well!

The morons were Amish. If that is the extreme of their 'misbehavior' then it's not that bad. In my neck of the woods, similarly deviant young men usually turn to real ammunition.

Did they use "plain" paintballs?

Well, at least it's in line with their Amish beliefs. If they were really deviant they would have used some kind of externally powered launcher.

Gotta give the guy credit it sounds like he's a pretty good shot.

maybe he overreacted a bit though.
