I don't believe it!

I do not believe the shooter's story for a single minute.
(1) The man's DRIVING down the rural road in a Jeep, with his girlfriend
(2) Claims he thought he saw a SKUNK
(3) STOPS the Jeep, jumps out intending to shoot his .17 caliber weapon at he claims was a SKUNK
(4) Pulls the trigger, crippling the Paintball shooter.
---------------------------------------------------------
Here's what I think happened.
(1) A genuine, true to life jerk (who resembles a certain part of my hidden personality way too much) knows people shoot paintballs in a rural area.
(2) He sees one, and decides that it would be really fun to hurt the Paintballer with a .17 rifle
(3) Stops the Jeep with every intention of hurting someone, though obviously not wanting a permanent injury. Nobody would generally plan that. No, he just wants to cause some pain and laugh about it as he drives quickly off in the Jeep.
(4) Ends up in court, claiming that he thought he saw........a skunk, which as everybody knows, if you're driving down a road in a Jeep, you have to stop and shoot it.

I don't buy that story for a minute.
