Riding back along the cycle path just now which cuts through an estate bordering on being a place you wouldn't want to encounter any trouble. A bunch of kids about 100m ahead saw me and ran through the hedges into the park behind. One of the bigger lads (16?) and a small lad (13?) stood on the side and went "Hiya! Hiya" as a got close, then they all let fly with 'snow'balls, which are actually packed ice. There's 5 or 6 of them, on their 'patch' - what would you have done?
Stopped & engaged them with my own substantial snow-balling skills
I'd have noticed them running, anticipated trouble, and taken a different route...... 8)
Raped and dismembered them
Nuked them from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
Kids? With snow balls? call the police, tell them that the kids are armed with offensive weapons.
Or throw back?
got them all asbos, bloody youth of today, start of with snow balls and next it'll be knife crime.
back when i were a lad all we did was have snowballs fights in the winter none of this stabing malarkey!
I would have riden off...Then come back very slowly with no lights and ambushed them. get a proper little fight going!
God I love snow ball fights more than anything in the world (unless one hits me in the ear 🙁 )
Erm, joined in?
Yep - I'm with uplink - stop and return fire, possibly using the bike as cover.
I'd have stopped and got involved with my own snow balls!
what CFH said 🙂
that or responded with "Hiya Hiya Hiya..... Say hello to my little fwend!!!"
(takka takka takka)
When I got home I'd have prayed that they get run over on the way home or something. By a bus.

What? Your mad!
And im not at all religious. Just boils my P**s
say something derogatory about their mothers whilst returning fire

Im inclined to agree with DickyDutch. They weren't looking for a friendly snowball exchange.

I'd have killed them all and then eaten their hearts to gain their strength.
Your all wrong. IHe should have got home and logged on to stw to report the incident to all his cyber-mates.
Oh thats is what he did.
Do we all live by the rules of stw or have we the freedom of free thought in some form or other?
I'm not going back out to nuke them all into orbit, don't worry.
driveby with a UZ1, its the only way they'll learn.

Wow.
Warning: Snow can be compacted into spherical projectiles (known to 99.999999999999999% of the population as 'snowballs', that both adults and children may throw at other persons. Hazards inlcude sudden localised cooling of any area hit, and in some extreme cases, the projectile may shatter resulting in ice going down the collar of protective clothing and contacting bare skin. It is not, repeat NOT life threatening.
Not life threatening but fu****g annoying. And unnecessary.

You should have noticed what they were doing and tried to outflank them.
The moral here is; don't go out in the snow, you may encounter kids with mischief on their minds.
FFS, MTFU and accept that on the rare occasion that we get snow, you may be hit with a snowball.
It is not, repeat NOT life threatening.
you have not been hit with a proper ice ball I'd guess...similar to a ball of concrete hitting in your face
