Mark, You and your buds admitted fault, wrong move. The guy you hit knowingly placed himself in an activity were potential boldly could occur and unfortunately did. You fled the scene not in malice but, fear for your wellbeing. If this went to civil court, you would have lost. However, the police were stretching there authority. First things first…..300′……cool!

Mark,
You and your buds admitted fault, wrong move. The guy you hit knowingly placed himself in an activity were potential boldly could occur and unfortunately did. You fled the scene not in malice but, fear for your wellbeing. If this went to civil court, you would have lost. However, the police were stretching there authority.

When I was 17 we had what they called (in Fort Wayne, IN) a raft race. It consisted of any raft you could build for speed looks or anything else down a river and thousands of people would show to watch this thing and to launch water balloons at them coming down stream. Well I got on of these sling shots and the very first shot that me and my 2 buddies let fly went directly across the river, no arch just straight over about 200 feet into this guys face (perfect shot) and swept him about 10 feet from the raft into the water. The whole crowd was cheering for us until they saw he was hurt... then they turned on us. We were young and dumb and tried to get to our car and leave when some jerk, lol got our license plate and called the cops. I went to work and my buddies went home (it was there car). So next thing you know I get a call from my friend saying the cops are at his door to arrest him. But the cop turns out to be a old classmate of my buddies dad so he call his Sargent and they said as long as we turn ourselves in tomorrow we will not have to spend the night in jail. So tomorrow comes and we were on our way there when my buddy gets the phone call from his neighbor that happens to be the sergeants assistant. She told my buddy that she had to break down in tears to get the sergeant not to arrest us. When we got there we had to sign a form stating that we would agree to pay all medical bills and anything else the doctor ordered for him in order to stay out of jail. So we did. The sling shot ended up costing us 1800 dollars in medical bills and another 900 for 3 pair of Oakley sunglasses for this guys face. It ended up breaking his nose and swelling both his eyes shut for 5 days. So the moral of the story is BE CAREFULL WITH THIS THING ITS POWERFULL (and fun till you knock somebody out :) Ok so a bit of a history lesson to be learned with this.
