Prosecute to the full extent of the law and publish the results. Hopefully this will finally get people to understand that these “drive by shootings” and vandalism has serious consequences. People should be held responsible for their actions.

I hate that.... Before my dad passed away he asked me what I felt about the public image of paintball. I said that for the most part, the people who play are super safety oriented and that there are the kids that dont know anything about fire arms and think that its cool to do stupid crap like what happened above. He was against me playing in the beginning back in the early 90's because he perceived that most people were not responsible enough. he finally came around but its crap like this that will continually push paint ball back into the dark ages. It doesnt help with the way its portrayed on TV. Did anyone happen to catch the episode of growing up Gotti where they were playing on a sanctioned field.... They had their mask up while walking on the field and my god the overshooting. This is what people see and it really does mold the publics perception. It makes me sad.

I agree with Grendel, this type of inapproprate behavior unpunished might esclate into a larger problem.

Think if this had been a firearm...or a pellet or bb rifel.

Youth have to be educated that paintball markers can cause permenate dammage.
Espically the way people view our sport...

I think some education at our school system is necessary.
So young people will understand how and where paintball markers should be used, and the dangers involved.

All My Best

The guys who do this make it hard for new players to get into the sport. None of my friends want to play because of what these guys do. but i agree with grendel
