Sounds like they shot people with BB guns. Pure geniuses.

Well I’m guessing they’re as good as gone.

For shooting BB guns?

Punished for being dumbasses? Absolutely. Kicked off the team? I don't see how that's helpful to anyone. I'm not exactly concerned that they're going to get the rest of the defense caught up in a BB gun gang.

Official report says they were airsoft guns (spring-loaded BB guns that shoot plastic instead of metal BBs). They shot a few people from inside their car, including someone on a scooter.

Pure stupidity. I could see my 12 year old self doing something similar. But at 20, you hope you're a little smarter than that.

Agree. This is really dumb and they certainly should know better. I am guessing there will be punishment along the lines of sitting for a couple of games as well as some internal punishment that won't be made public.

My stupid game was at a much higher level at 20 than 12. (More dangerous toys)

Then come the game formerly known as the civil war, they would definitely be in Beaver unis. If the get kicked off the team, I’d be shocked.

Reckless endangerment = Class A misdemeanor

Assault = can by misdemeanor or felony. Shooting at someone driving a scooter is one of those things that gives the DA a lot of leeway, but can likely be plead down to misdemeanor Assault 4.

I didn't know that an airsoft could qualify for "illegal discharge of a firearm".

One of those times where being the Head Coach isn't fun.

Absolutely stupid decisions on their part, especially with them firing the weapons from vehicles. This incident reminds me of when some Oregon basketball players were shooting pellet guns at animals in a park back during the Kent era. I remember they had to do community service and missed a couple games.

I guess I'll go on record and say I don't think this is more than a 1 game ban kind of offense. An airsoft gun is not a "firearm" or a "weapon." This was incredibly stupid, but I can't say it was incredibly harmful. One game ban plus some extra work over the course of the season (carrying gear, cleaning up, community service) seems to fit the crime.

When I first read what the charges were, I immediately thought they must have beat the s*** out of a guy and had a gun on them, but instead it is them shooting plastic pellets at strangers like dipshit teenagers.

Unlawful use of a firearm will likely be dropped. In Oregon air soft guns aren't classified as firearms. They are classified as ""replica's".

To go along with STU post.

Reminds me of Pharaoh Brown and the snowball fight.

I imagine Coach Cristobal saying something to the effect of, "They what now?!" when hearing the news...before steam came out his ears...


Hopefully they and the rest of the guys learn from it. Shooting anything makes it very possible someone shoots back.

From a fan perspective, hopefully they are only out a game.

Wow no bueno. To be honest, I'll be surprised if they play in Columbus. It's not a real gun but still pretty serious.
