Hi..slf here...
I used to rollerblade along Benidorm seafront years ago..(reckon around 15 yrs ago)..it was a nightly excercise,usually after 10 pm in the winter time,when there were no crowds..
Anyways,i remember the terror i felt when i was followed by a red dot,not knowing it must have been some childish tw*t in one of the apartment bulidings playing with a laser,but was convinced it was a sniper aiming to pop me off.
Truth be known,they were probably having a right laugh at my expense,as i tried to dodge it,and eventualy hid in a doorway.
I really think that the offenders know exactly what they are doing,it falls into the same catagory as lobbing a lump of concrete off a motorway bridge,just to see if they can "miss".??? the vehicle passing underneath.
I say prosecute,and no less than a prison sentence for endangering an airline,it's crew and passengers.
