We just had a water balloon war from apartments adjacent from each other. On the last shot of the war, the apartment I usually fire from (i was acrossed the street to help with a little man power) hit the scary black guys that live just below the apartment i was shooting from. It shattered their window.
It's the consensus of everyone that I should help pay for it but not the other two guys that were firing from the apartment I was in at the time. (Im closer friends with the guys that broke the window than with the guys i was firing with and I would have been on the offending side and everyone been present)
(other damages were my screen door and everyone's lattice as well as the top to a grill and a fan)
So do I have to help pay?

Are the scary black guys scary because they're black or because they're scary?

No why should you pay. It is not your fault the guy throwing the bomb had an arm like spaghetti. Either everyone involved in the fight chips in and splits it or the guy who broke it pays it all.

The strong point in poker is never to lose your temper, either with those you are playing with or, more particularly, with the cards. There is no sympathy in poker. Always keep cool. If you lose your head you will lose all your chips.

You should pay him off because he's black.

Well I'm prolly the farthest away you can get from cheap and I always help people in these situations so I would definitely help pay.... but I think it is drag that no one else that was throwing the balloons would help. Sure they didn't break it but they could have.

Also, I dont want to pay but I will pay if the other two people that I was launching with chip in. I just feel like I was sucked in becuase Im a close friend and they figured Im good to throw in a few.
If the poll turns out Yes, Ill pay.

The only person that should pay is the guy with the weak-ass throw that broke the window. That's not cool of them to suck you into it at all.

It's a 3-man launcher. Danny is too short to be a holder, but i think he held on the last shot while someone else pulled back and that's why the shot was low and line-drive-ish

i have a story about those 3 man launchers.
when i graduated high school some friends and I were hanging out at this kid's graduation party. it was lame, and one friend said he had one of those balloon launchers in his car. so we went and got it and shot it at the people who were playing basketball. hilarity ensued.
that was fun but it wasn't enough. we decided to cruise around the neighborhoods the next night and shoot balloons at innocent people. the vehicle was my mom's dark blue 2000 impala. we started off finding two kids walking down a street and launched a couple but missed them. we tried to hide but it probably didnt matter. we also saw a girl we knew from highschool jogging but we just threw water balloons at her.
its getting late and we are about to call it quits when all of a sudden we spot the perfect marks. on this corner we had just driven by was a house where about 5-6 thug black guys were playing basketball. awesome. i park the car a block away in a court and we line up across the street. we launch one, it hits a thug in the leg, and we run back to the car, except for the guy holding the water balloons who wanted us to fire more. hell no. it was so much fun, lots of high fives and stuff. we start driving away and after i turn around in the court but before i turn back on to the main road, we see three cars going in the opposite direction of where im turning. as soon as i turn i look in my rear view mirror and there the 3 cars all do U-turns and start following us. my friends start yelling suggestions..."lets go to the police, they wont follow us there"..."lets drive south to carolina, they wont follow us all the way there"..."lets just speed away"....it was hectic. i have never been this scared. this sounds like im a pussy but these guys were seriously people that shouldnt be fucked with. anyway, i procede to drive really slowly and they stopped following eventually.
it turns out, a few weeks later, one of my friends talked to one of the guys playing basketball who was cool and the guy brought up how they were hit by water balloons. my friend played it cool and got the story about how they went looking to fuck up whoever did it and started chasing a cop car (ha! thank cops drive impalas) and eventually gave up.

What's the point of doing anything if you're not going to go all the way?
