DaFoot Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 ...or at least I think I was. Having filled up my car at Morrisons petrol station in Hillsborough (1720 ish) I went to pay, while in the doorway I felt a sting on my arm and what looked suspiciously like a plastic yellow BB pellet bounce off me. I'm pretty sure it came from the youth in the back of the white van at the front of the forecourt...as it was, I think, the most likely place given the narrow doorway but also his conspicuous absence by hiding behind the front seat as I walked past. If only I could have been sure I might have had words with the little scroate. As I left I realised the guy behind me was going back to the van after paying - maybe the little t**t was aiming at him in the doorway? Sorry, bit of a rant but needed to let off steam! Besides - it was a bloody stupid thing to do...not only might he hurt someone else but also get himself shot when the police get called to a someone shooting from a van. So if this was you in the van - be glad I wasn't 100% sure you fired at me! (of course it might not of been you, in which case, my apologies for calling you a scroate ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saxon51 Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Should have rung the police and given them the reg as a concerned member of the public. Naughty driver, carrying a kid in the back of his van. Illegal you know. At least his dad - or whoever he was - would have got a rollicking. Or better still, told them you'd been shot at with what looked like a BB gun, but you aren't sure. Either way the driver would have been in deep doody. Partial payback.

DaFoot Posted August 30, 2006 Author Share Posted August 30, 2006 Had I been 100% I most certainly would have contacted the police to say that a youth (well...guessing 17-20) was firing from a van. I am not absolutly certain it was him though (just a lot of circumstantial ), I didn't see the gun etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigflesh Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 I'd have called the police there and then and would have taken great delight in watching the van being surrounded by ARV's, the occupants being forced to lie down on the forecourt floor. Police take gun crime (of any kind) very seriously indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
