Feltonville section when the alleged gunman was accidentally hit in the face with a snowball. Sources say he told the victim he'd be back. A few minutes later he arrived and shot the 16-year-old in the face at point blank range.
What a prick! a kid hits you with a snowball then you go an shoot him? People like that need to be put away for simply ruining our innocent fun and replacing it with fear.

wow. what a horror of a human being.

Police believe they know the identity of the shooter, but they are not yet releasing his name.

Why? If they can't locate him isn't that the first thing you do?

I don't think so. If they know who he is already they probably know how to find him. As soon as they release his name he'll have 1) Vigilante's getting in the way of their apprehension and 2) old friends from high school also trying to help him out and getting in the way of their apprehension.

That's really sad. Maybe, maybe if the teenagers were thugs and he felt it was some sort of self defense, but that argument went completely out of the window when he went home, got his gun, and came back.

Think long and hard while you rot in prison just how much you overreacted.

A random kid once jumped in on our friendly snowball fight and started throwing very solid iceballs. He ended up giving my little sister a black eye. My dad was pissed! His reaction was certainly an upset one but it involved talking to the kids parents and remaining unarmed for the duration...

And, coming soon... winter 2008, Homeland Security classifies Snow-projectiles as dangerous weapons and bans them from the hands of all good citizens. So remember, kids:

If you throw snowballs, YOU are a terrorist!

(yes, i know-- completely stupid and off-subject. it's my own sad and satirical way of stating that the innocence has disappeared from all the things we used to do when young...)

I have no words to say, except that 16 is too young.

I think what makes your statement sad, is that it could be absolutely true.

Heh - the thing is, when I was in elementary/high school, snowballs were considered weapons and we would be immediately suspended if we were caught with one.

Lucky for us it was usually too cold to make decent snowballs, but it sure did take the fun out of the warmer recesses!

Whilst guns remain legal, of course.
