    It seems he was upset because his personal vehicle was hit by a snowball.

    Don't throw snowballs at strangers, and don't throw them at peoples' cars. Could be a rock or a chunk of ice in there that cracks a window. And are you gonna pay for that? Hell no. You're gonna run the fuck away, evade all responsibility, and rationalize it as an innocent mistake.

    Clearly that's what you did. Could be a rock or a chunk of ice in there. Right. :dayton:

    Throwing objects, any objects at someone operating a motor vehicle should be seen as endangering the lives of everyone around them. You don't distract someone operating a vehicle you have no idea what their response will be. They could very well, panic or loose visibility and cause serious injury or death.

    Punks should be fined for every goddamn cent wasted over this incident and face some jail time for endangering the public.

    Did he point it at specific individuals? He could have simply fired a few shots into the air dispersing the crowd. I'd be okay with that. I agree with UA. You don't throw shit at peoples' cars. That's getting a little out of hand.

    Dude, you don't know nuthin' bout snowballs. :dayton:

    I think everybody in NYC that drives has had a snowball thrown at their car at least once. I've yet to hear of any snowball induced accidents.

    Not saying its a good thing but its a SNOW-BALL. :garamet:

    Man, if cops went after snowballers up here I'd be still serving time. :ramen:

    Yeah, uh, lobbing bullets randomly into the air is even less safe than throwing snowballs at cars.

    Cops lack Christmas spirit. Had it been anyone else pull a gun on people throwing snow balls, where would they be right now.
