About 2 weeks ago in Southington, CT 2 grown men (ages 27 & 33) were arrested for shooting darts at random pedestrians from their car using a blowgun. It was determined they thought it was a funny prank. Anyway, they were caught and I was wondering what is the likelihood they will serve jail time for this?
Here are a few sentences from the article in the paper so you get a feel for what they did:
‘In an incident that at first left police incredulous, two men were charged Thursday in Southington with shooting a man in the leg with a blowgun.
The man was one of three people shot apparently at random in the space of half an hour Thursday in Plainville and Southington. In all three cases, the attackers drove past their victim as they fired, police said.
"They thought it was funny," Southington Police spokesman Sgt. Lowell DePalma said.
A few minutes later, a woman pumping gas at a service station a short distance from the shopping center was hit in the back.'

They should just drop that case. It's pretty stupid to charge somebody for shooting somebody with a toy gun.

There is nothing funny about causing injury and pain to strangers who have done no harm to them. I say put these immature clods in Jail for 60 days AND force them to pay EACH of the injured parties $150 a month for six months. If they fail do do so, give them another 60 days in jail and ordered to pay $200 a month to the victims for six months. If they fail to pay that.... give them SIX MONTHS IN THE BIG HOUSE!
