A couple times a year you’ll hear about kids getting arrested after uploading YouTube videos of themselves shooting cyclists with paintballs or breaking windows with potato guns. I’ve always wondered what their endgame was. Maybe they think someone from MTV will see the video and offer them a Jackass spinoff?
