I'll admit to laughing, more in astonishment than anything, but this behavior is way over the line.

Yeah, that's over the line. But amusing to watch.
That reminds me of a Tigers/Twins game I was at this past summer in Detroit. Some fans in the upper deck brought dozens of beach balls to the game and about halfway through the game started dropping them all into the lower deck. It must have taken a lot of fans to bring them in and get them all blown up. But it was very amusing to watch.
Kind of hard to see, but if you look carefully you can see a number of them in this picture.
Look at that idiot two rows ahead of those fans firing snowballs at them at point blank range. That guy should've kicked his teeth out.
Come on, admit it: you wish you could do the same to Cubs fans at GABP.

Hitters who avoid outs are the funnest.
Anybody remember back in the 80s when the Beach Boys would perform after Reds games at Riverfront? There would be beach ball bouncing all around the stadium during the game leading up to it. Those Beach Boys concerts were awesome. Even if you didn't really care for the band, it was one of the most exciting home dates on the schedule because of the atmosphere in the ballpark.
Help stamp out, eliminate, and do away with redundancy.
This is a pretty good example of the strength in numbers argument. I've been to a large number of games in other stadiums where I'm rooting for the away team (Reds, Bengals or Bearcats), and there is unquestionably a massive correlation in how much verbal abuse and threatened physical abuse our group receives depending on how large it is.
When I've been in a group of only two or three, we take on a lot of abuse. When we have larger groups, people leave us alone. That also rings true for our experience in Philly for Reds/Phillies games; Phillies fans lit into us when we had only three guys, but when we had five guys they kept their distance.
If those 'niner fans were in a large group of guys, chances are that scenario doesn't happen. Or if it starts, then that section likely erupts into a massive brawl.

It looked there were several throwing from close range. Where's Elf when you need him? He would've sent those boys home crying to their mama

Yeah, I am pretty sure that guy would have been threatened once. If he hit me again with a snowball I am punching him in the mouth.
On the flip side of things.... what are the odds these fans look to sue the Eagles for allowing this to happen for over a minute before security showed up? They were assaulted by 20+ people in that video.
