Police in Arizona are hunting for a pair of teenage hellions who nearly killed a man when they tossed water balloons at him and then ran him over in their truck.

Steven Bright, 26, of Chandler, was walking with his brother near Carson Elementary School at around 10 p.m. on Aug. 4 when two teen girls in a truck attacked them with water balloons, ABC News reported.

While trying to dodge the balloons, Bright ran into the road, where the truck slammed into him and dragged him for a few feet.

Bright eventually broke free, but the truck kept going.

I remember when feral animals were put down before they cause problems.

By appearances, there’s more to it. It seems to me he was blocking the truck, and they took off with him clinging to it, and then he fell off the side.

We still use it and most post production companies here in Hollywood. When you see/read any production company that says ‘digital’ in it’s name, believe me, most of them are not.

You think that’s bad, about 20 years ago I was walking to work here in New York city and this car pulled up and this girl rolled down her window asking for directions. “Excuse me excuse me..do you know where...” And as walked closer to hear what she was saying, she pulled out a can of mace and maced me! She freakin’ maced me! Direct hit between the eyes and they drove off laughing leaving me in agony. Ask me how many times I’ve fantasized about having a nice Mag .45 and “blowin her head clean off” as Clint would say.

He blocked the truck because they threw water balloons at him, unprovoked. There’s your ‘more to it’.

LOL! Unfortunately not. Although 5 years later after the incident I could have sworn I saw her on 7th avenue and 22nd street. You ever see that movie “Marathon man”? “Do I know you? Yes I’m sure I know you”....I said that exact words to her and she pretty much booked, I wasn’t sure it was her. If I was sure, absolutely sure, right about now I would be getting out of jail.

Look at the video. They were in the parking lot of an elementary school! BTW, it's the John and Carol CARLSON ( not Carson ) Elementary School. I finally found an old news article about its construction just last year. This Google Maps view shows the parking lot well enough to match it with the video. You can see that the incident occurred well away from the street, right in front of the school entrance. So what were they all doing there? I think there is "more to the story".

BTW, if you try to zoom in any further, you get a dirt lot! The closer images are older.

Here's another example of the cultural devolution of American society that started in the '60s and is in full force today abetted by our 'education' system, Hollywood, the LeftSM, academia, etc.:

I'll take what I want even from 9 year old Girl Scouts.

I’m sure gave the NYPD the description of the car and girls..and you had a happy ending.
