“He shot me and my brother unexpected” I’m honestly thankful for the fact they were using paintball guns. I prefer this over any gang violence that followed previously.
They already stopped doing this because it lead to real guns again. There was a mad guy who was shot and had a beef because he got shot unexpected by a paintball. So he killed the rest with a real gun and all hell broke loose. This plan failed, it started all good :/ perhaps they could just do a battlefield team match. :/
Whether they were horrible or not, they are being pro active and actually providing a solution to gang related deaths that is far better than what the police are doing.
Until your kid loose one eyes... or your windows are broken... or your kid/friend/husband is shoot by police because gang target them with real gun and your kid/friend/husband has target them with paintball (the police are risking their life, many many die each year by firearm, normal they have no time to analyze very details to see if it is a real gun or not).

do you really believe that gangs quit using guns and that people were no longer being shot, this was an additional act of violence that seems to be a part of the ghetto culture
The only problem I’m seeing with this is that they’re shooting at people who are not into this game, and also nobody is wearing eye protection. Still a thousand times better than having them do the same with real firearms
Whose to say? Ever got hit in the eye with a paintball? Internal bleeding, fractured cornea. Permanent blindness. Get hit in the mouth while its open. That happens too. Hit the inner lining in the mouth, causing swelling and inflammation, trouble breathing, and possible suffocation. Paintball is the safest of the extreme sports. But it is still an extreme sport and if safety isn't your priority, then you run serious risks
@@kuracao484 ill call it as it is; stupidity at its finest. Substituting one kind of violence for another does NOTHING to improve the situation. And gives more heat to the already super sensitive topic of paintball as a sport. It defiles the the image of the sport we have worked very hard to build.
@@2014megaman paintball is dangerous but I rather see paintball and people having fun than them walking around with m4s and aks they go home alive and I dont think they aim for the eye or the face
@@leasha53 you see them literally shoving the barrel out of Windows and just pulling the trigger. With little to no regard as to what they're shooting at. Whether it hits someone in the face at that point is out of their control. If its just for fun, i see no reason to organise a group to go play at a proper field and go back home fully satisfied. Bringing the feeling of dangers and the threat of injury to the home that a drive by of any nature ; be it a paintball or an airsoft gun, is not the answer to rivalries. Nor a step in the right direction to achieve a safer neighborhood. There is a stigma in paintball as a result to these kinds of things. Anyone who actively plays would refer to their gun as a "Paintball Marker" rather than say " paintball gun" to avoid any sort of confusion or accidentally stir panic in public. And with the rise of magfed markers; such as the first strike T15, tippmann TMC, and other such platforms taking direct inspiration from AR Platforms. Some even functioning similar to them, its become more of a delicate issue in terms of public views and its sense of safety.
@@derekakaderek it might just be that gang violence in cities like Detroit is going to happen and saying you guys cant shoot each other with guns is not going to change anything, so I mean it's an improvement right. Paintballs are not going to kill anyone. It's not really the whole "they're black" mentality, at least to me. People would say the same if it was in any place that gang violence is present.
@@raminahmed4476 There are any number of other hobbies these guys could indulge in that are less expensive, more accessible, and don't result in collateral damage. It's a false dichotomy to think the only choices are shooting each other with bullets and shooting each other with paintballs.
This isn’t gonna work and it’s so sad to say that😭😭. As long as rappers, false social media standards, and girls interest in “thugs” and “street 🥷🏿’s” still exist….idk what can change the times we’re living in.
Literally nothing has improved in Detroit since this came out, it's actually gotten worse. How much you wanna bet this sort of thing got stopped immediately after a gang member started firing back with real guns
Imagine watching two gangs fighting and instead of killing each other. They're trying to dye the other gang in their color and whoever is drenched most looses
This is actually a great way to stop Gang Wars, you get to have fun and take out anger on others with paintball guns and do it in the exact same way, driving cars and doing drive bud with paintballs instead of bullets.
The worst thing that you'll get besides well welts and being sore is basically the paint stains that's gonna be on your clothes. Anything is way better than bullets and bloodshed.
Maybe people just act like civilized human beings and follow laws. Oh he only assaulted someone with paint (which still hurts) and not a bullet? Stupid reasoning. Main reason people with money don't want poor slum in their city. Can't follow simple laws.
Paintball paint is not very attractive as it seems. The paint has oil in it and is really spotty when it goes on. Ugly up close. Anyway, i love paintball and would love to play in an urban setting vs the woods like all other range are in
this is actually not a bad idea... Just like they did with drag racing where street racers could race against cops. Just set up some basic, simple ground rules and let it go. I don't know the true state of things there because i dont even think i should be talking about this since i am not even american, but i think it's a great idea and it would build up trust amongst police and civilians. You can never know if its going to work or not, but its definitely worth to try.
Bro this is a stupid idea honestly like out in public getting the city and their community dirty and even kids and random NPCs getting hit. Should be fined or even arrested. I get that they are trying to make a change but this wouldn't really help lol.
@@carsnob i am confidant that there are ways to work around the negatives you brought up as concerns. But i believe that after a while, people would become more responsible in regards of shooting a kid with a paintball gun (given certain penalties and so on). As for getting community dirty and stuff, i think it would be a solution if the paintballs would contain a eco friendly color, that would wash away after the first rain. Don't get me wrong but, if you give a fine to a person that doesn't have a job and is having a rough time with money, that person is going to turn to criminal activities sooner or later, because that person wont have any other choice. And if you arrest them, then you have just sent them to a criminal school where they will learn to do even more dumb and dangerous things and they wont be able to contribute to society, because they simply wont know any better. Set up some ground rules, educate a person and try to introduce a little empathy into their brains, so they wouldn't go shoot a kid with a paintball gun. Set up paintball courts and shops across cities and create work places for them. I think this way, you would show them that they are not worthless and it would give them a little purpose and meaning in their lives. This is just one idea that the "government" could do for their society. Imagine how many other options are there to try to rehabilitate someones way of thinking.

Atleast at the end of the day they return to their homes alive.
Whose to say? Ever got hit in the eye with a paintball? Internal bleeding, fractured cornea. Permanent blindness. Get hit in the mouth while its open. That happens too. Hit the inner lining in the mouth, causing swelling and inflammation, trouble breathing, and possible suffocation. Paintball is the safest of the extreme sports. But it is still an extreme sport and if safety isn't your priority, then you run serious risks

@@kuracao484 ill call it as it is; stupidity at its finest. Substituting one kind of violence for another does NOTHING to improve the situation. And gives more heat to the already super sensitive topic of paintball as a sport. It defiles the the image of the sport we have worked very hard to build.
@@2014megaman paintball is dangerous but I rather see paintball and people having fun than them walking around with m4s and aks they go home alive and I dont think they aim for the eye or the face
@@leasha53 you see them literally shoving the barrel out of Windows and just pulling the trigger. With little to no regard as to what they're shooting at. Whether it hits someone in the face at that point is out of their control. If its just for fun, i see no reason to organise a group to go play at a proper field and go back home fully satisfied. Bringing the feeling of dangers and the threat of injury to the home that a drive by of any nature ; be it a paintball or an airsoft gun, is not the answer to rivalries. Nor a step in the right direction to achieve a safer neighborhood. There is a stigma in paintball as a result to these kinds of things. Anyone who actively plays would refer to their gun as a "Paintball Marker" rather than say " paintball gun" to avoid any sort of confusion or accidentally stir panic in public. And with the rise of magfed markers; such as the first strike T15, tippmann TMC, and other such platforms taking direct inspiration from AR Platforms. Some even functioning similar to them, its become more of a delicate issue in terms of public views and its sense of safety.

@@carsnob i am confidant that there are ways to work around the negatives you brought up as concerns. But i believe that after a while, people would become more responsible in regards of shooting a kid with a paintball gun (given certain penalties and so on).
As for getting community dirty and stuff, i think it would be a solution if the paintballs would contain a eco friendly color, that would wash away after the first rain.
Don't get me wrong but, if you give a fine to a person that doesn't have a job and is having a rough time with money, that person is going to turn to criminal activities sooner or later, because that person wont have any other choice. And if you arrest them, then you have just sent them to a criminal school where they will learn to do even more dumb and dangerous things and they wont be able to contribute to society, because they simply wont know any better.
Set up some ground rules, educate a person and try to introduce a little empathy into their brains, so they wouldn't go shoot a kid with a paintball gun.
Set up paintball courts and shops across cities and create work places for them. I think this way, you would show them that they are not worthless and it would give them a little purpose and meaning in their lives.
This is just one idea that the "government" could do for their society. Imagine how many other options are there to try to rehabilitate someones way of thinking.
They should make a Paintball Arena than in a neighborhood.
