But you, yourself made a qualifier.

And paintball was more accidentally discovered - and even then, that's *with the other people wearing protective gear*.

As you noted - what if they'd put people's eyes out? If someone had had a heart attack and died?

What if they'd done that, would that change things? But they were just lucky taht they didn't.

I don't think 6 months in jail is a disproportionate sentance for anybody who was a participant in that. We sentance getaway drivers as well as the criminals, he got off light, he got the consideration he was entitled to.

So if somebody runs up and paintballs your wife/kids/mother, you think 6 months is way too much for luckily missing their eyes? (Didn't they use *frozen paintballs* or was that someone else?) - in that case, all bets all off, that's a serious weapon, now.

(Manufacturer started making solid paintballs - for practice - and stopped shipping them a week later when they found that they easily penetrated masks and provided enough force to cause a concussion, and they (rightly) worried about deliberate use, or more likely, accidents).

Because that makes a big difference.

Right now, there's not any hacking laws in my area. There are Federal laws. But the Feds don't have rape statutes.

So its somewhat of a false comparision.

I believe you're citing the "average time served", but I could be wrong, its what I thought I read on rape cases.

So how much time would you have wanted him to serve had he been shooting your family or you?
