I rented a Ford Focus. It has all these screens, keypads and shit.
There was one very large button labeled Radio. I pressed it and nothing happened. Turns out that you had the press the much smaller button only labeled Vol to turn the radio on. Then there were these button on the center console, right in the middle and above the volume button. Unlabeled. Left to tune down, right to tun up...right? Nope. It control the "feature selection" on a screen on the dash. Tuning buttons were much smaller and in the upper right and only labeled with a left arrow and right arrow.

Firing a weapon in a populated area except in defense of life and limb is a colossally stupid idea and patently against the law, just because your privacy is being violated is no excuse.
Baseballs, slingshots, yarn, hosing it down, etc. All fair game I bet.
So if a neighbor was looking over the fence, you'd have at him with a shotgun?
This is a universally a very bad idea.
Discharging any weapon in a populated area except at a proper range or in defense of your life is generally illegal and a very bad idea.
I suspect he would be facing the same charges if he were merely shooting crows in his backyard.
Or, if you are in an environment managed by CSC and THEY chase versions so they can charge, you'll come in on a Monday and everything has gone to shit.
