NOTE BY NORSE:\u00a0 The “call in a criminal sleeper” campaign encouraged by the SCPD and, I suspect, by Take Back Santa Cruz, could easily escalate to this kind of Trollbuster Violence, as it did in the past.\u00a0\u00a0 When homeless people are casually associated with theft, discarded needles, feces-and-urine, trash, and burglaries, open season on poor people becomes not just okay but valued.\u00a0 The recent Arm the Homeless campaign (see http:\/\/www.indybay.org\/newsitems\/2013\/04\/15\/18735243.php<\/wbr><\/wbr><\/a> ) was a response.<\/p>\n

Two teenagers were arrested in downtown Fresno Monday after shooting several homeless people with a paintball gun, costing one man the sight in one eye, police said.<\/p>\n

Officers went to the area of Fresno and F streets, where two suspects inside a vehicle shot a homeless man with a paintball gun. The two suspects drove in an alley, shot the man and then fled the area, police said.<\/p>\n

Shortly after that, the two teenagers shot another homeless man with the paintball gun near Ventura and H streets.<\/p>\n

Police located the vehicle at Broadway and San Benito avenues and later arrested a 17-year-old juvenile from Fresno and an 18-year-old man from Bakersfield.<\/p>\n

Police learned the pair had shot paintballs two days earlier at a homeless man and woman at Ventura and H streets. According to police, the man was struck in the eye by a paintball, resulting in loss of sight in one eye. The woman reported being struck in the chest.<\/p>\n

The two teens were arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon and conspiracy. Police said they could face mayhem charges, as well.<\/p>\n
