    Sadly this is all too common. I recall at my University one the frat houses got in trouble for the very same thing… i. e shooting a local homeless person everyone knew with a pellet gun. He wasnt injured thankfully, but this being the 90s there was far less outrage than you’d expect from the student body.

      Same, one of the frats allegedly used to do this to keep the homeless from sleeping out on their property. Never witnessed it, but I did hear stories. Could have also just been bs, but it was definitely unsettling to hear.
