Shit.

I was rtying to get to campus for trick-or-cheese, but Robin and I were attacked at Foothill and Mills by some kids in a pickup truck. Large white truck with a gun rack, kids in the back and the cab, eggs and paintballs. Needless to say, we're staying home for the night. CPD supposedly has an officer coming to take the report.

Sometimes I have faith in humanity. Other times it's difficult to.

Gah! People are such assholes. Like, the sort of person that would actually take joy in hurting other people anonymously as they sped by, is a person who saddens and scares me a lot. There are definitely varying levels of consciousness in people, and the sort of people who think such activities are 'fun' are at one of the lowest levels possible. I got egged in Tempe, and damn that hurt, and if it had hit my head I could have seen it doing serious damage, and I totally sympathize and hope the CPD gets those assholes.

You display a much greater sense of restraint than I would. Someone hit me with a water balloon while I was walking home last spring break, and I recall being insanely upset and having a fear of walking for a few days.

These people sound greatly in need of a grapefruit spoon. I hope they get caught so that you may apply it.

So that's what happened... we missed you, but I didn't have the chance to check LJ.

That really sucks. Cowards. Serously :P I hope the police get them and they have to spend the night in the tank with people drunker than they are.

bastards.

Ed and I had an egg thrown at us once while walking my freshman year. They missed. But still.

bastards.

Just remember people like that are in the minority, they just make themselves too damn visible.
