Rather like the f*ckwits who think it's funny to stage a driveby shooting with a paintball gun. Is the victim supposed to make a split second asessment as to whether they've just been assaulted with a firearm, or if the stuff they've been doused with is toxic, caustic or contagious?

I do notice that this sort of "good goof" or "political statement" happens mostly in jurisdictions like New York and California where law-abiding folks have been disarmed. One guy who tried the paintball stunt in Utah found out the hard way that some folks there are packing heat. :-)
