U High Paintball Vandalism

This is the first news I've read about paintball vandalism in my area-

Pantagraph.com | News | U High closed following extensive vandalism

Quote:
NORMAL -- University High School's halls are empty this morning with the exception of people cleaning the floors and walls after vandals shot paint balls over much of the school early Monday morning.

The paintball splotches, mostly in the school colors of Pioneer green and gold, are on lockers, brick walls, doors, water fountains — even paintings — throughout the school. There is no damage on the second-floor level. An unexploded paint capsule sat on a water fountain that also had been blasted with green paint.
I thought the line

was a little over dramatic, but still, I wish kids/people wouldn't use paintball as a means to deface things. (or use anything to deface things in general.)

They have now added a video of the damage, including the "unexploded paint capsule"!
