275 cars? PEOPLE could've been in those cars, and what else can these "bored" teens do if they're capable of choosing to shoot 275 cars?

6. I didn't know Florida had teenagers.

Is this something new?

7. Obviously this calls for a ban

of BB guns that hold more than 5 BBs. That would have saved 270 car windows. :sarcasm:
