Part of my test to see if I can post.  Do you consider Twitter to be a valid fact checked news source or a social media platform consisting mainly of opinions of unknown tweeters with or without factual backup?

How were the police marking cars? 

They expect people who never watch sports to pay for the content.  

Twitter is a mixed bag.  Some of the sites are professional but most are full of opinion and a lot of immature content. I don’t  like it much after running those stories for years by hand.  That is why we made it into an auto feed, so there would be a steady stream of new stories.  Some are good, some are bad, a lot are mediocre.  If you set it up carefully, you can get headlines.

Indeed. Those of us who never watch sports should not have to subsidize those who do. It's not like something like health care, where you might not need it for most of one's life but when you do, from an accident or injury, it can bankrupt you, so the risk should be spread among everyone.

But sports is a choice. If I go into a restaurant and order the chicken fried rice, then I shouldn't have the filet mignon added to my ticket just because 15% of the patrons order it.

That happened to me a few times going to lunch with a group. Two people always ordered expensive things and then wanted to split the check evenly.  I said no, and they got upset.  We stopped going to lunches.

While so far the details still remain murky, I'd suspect with paintball guns. Mostly because it's a quick and easy way to mark a vehicle or other moving object from a fairly safe distance. Just a good splat on the trunk lip, bumper, a tail light, or even license plate.

One could even use different colors at different places to later sort out where the vehicle was.

Paintballs are *allegedly* washable without too much damage, but - about 20 years ago some of us splatted a door on one of my old junker cars and didn't get around to washing it off for a few days, and it did damage the finish, what little of it was still there since the clear coat was long gone.

That specific vehicle is now sitting on blocks accompanied by a couple of deceased appliances in true redneck style, and all you can really tell is a slight difference in the way the door faded.

Classic reason to stop going to lunches with certain people, yes.

Yes. We didn’t need to go anymore so we quit.
