Smashing snow into someone's face feels a lot different to me than shooting at randos with an airsoft gun. The first is fun that got out of hand, the second is just weird, mean-spirited behavior that probably scared the s*** out of people.StevensTechU wrote:I assume the prank was equally their ideas.

I assume it was both their ideas, but one guy did the shooting.

Not really. Throwing snowballs at people who didn't want snowballs thrown at them, and dumping snow on someone's windshield, potentially causing them to wreck, is pretty damn near what happened here.

No, not really. I was at the snowball thing. The vibe was very different than if some rando had started shooting passers-by with a BB gun.StevensTechU wrote:Not really.

I think you misremember what happened. Here's a link with the video: https://www.oregonlive.com/ducks/2013/1 ... ces_b.html
Students were dumb then as they are dumb now. "Snowball" just doesn't sound as bad as "airsoft gun" but it's the exact same jackassery.

Kind of funny how condescending you get when challenged. Whatever, if you think throwing a snowball and shooting an airsoft gun are equivalent, I can't help you.

Let’s not forget we live in weird time that people want dodge ball kicked out of schools. So something resembling a gun, they will get extra outraged over. If they had been throwing eggs at people, there would be less outrage, although that does far more damage than an airsoft gun

Have you ever thrown anything from a moving vehicle? You can throw an egg a long ways when you are driving.

I've been hit by an egg from a moving vehicle. I hurt worse than a hot shot off a bat at first base.

We can all be friends here <3
Anyways, I'm hoping these guys can get out of CMC's doghouse sooner rather than later. Unfortunately, I'm not expecting anything anytime soon... 1 week suspension plus 1 game would be ideal but I'm not sure such a punishment really makes any sense.

Just something that has been bugging me a little. I think these two knuckleheads actions and the consequences of their action far outweigh the OSU game. I have no problem with them missing three games, including the OSU game.
