HOLY COW!!
Last night at 7 pm at avenue road and wilson i couldnt believe my eyes.
a guy on a silver bmw bike was firing paintballs in anger at the back of a white minivan.
the paintball gun (marker) was hidden in the fairing and he was shooting from a trigger extension he had fitted on the handlebar.
i have a paintball gun and they fire a water based ball of paint. the van had dings in it but the glass didnt break.
its a non lethal gun but it must be grounds for what???? assault,vandalism, ????
any lawyers here.
my gopro batteries had just died damn
im sorry i dont have the video.
but what i saw was:
A white minivan stopped with right indicator flashing (not 4 way hazards) in the right hand turn lane going northbound on avenue road. Pedestrians were crossing the intersection. The Van was second in line waiting to turn right onto wilson avenue (as opposed to pulled over to deal with a confrontation....but who knows).
directly behind the van (10 feet) was the bmw (also stopped) firing paintballs at the back of the van. The back van was splattered by dozens of green splotches'
I could here pop, pop, pop and saw quick movement by the riders left hand which was on the grip. i could also hear the rider yelling (F%$%K, etc.).
No one else seemed to be paying much attention.
I dont know for a fact that the paintball marker was hidden in the fairing but i could not see it. It was not in his hand.
I was proceeding north and was into the intersection and moving toward the 401 east ramp before i fully realized what i had seen. The light turned yellow as i was exiting the intersection. There was a lot of traffic in my lane.
The rider appeared unhurt and not in any immediate danger or else i would have gone back.
Domestic problem, road rage who knows? But u gotta wonder about a rider who is prepared like this.
