10 shots is excessive.

Someone’s not going to be driving a car for a LONG time.

Not enough information to make a determination at this juncture.

The vandal was Tivarus King. Draw your own conclusions.

Wonder if he was holding his pistol sideways, ya know: gangsta-style, as he dumped the magazine?

Probably a white egg. Why pay the brown-egg price if you’re just going to throw it at a car?

One guess:

Examiner's office says the teen, Tivarus King, died as he was being taken to Grady Memorial Hospital.

A bit of an overreaction, I’m inclined to think.

Stupid judgment to say the least - bad shooting.

When I was a teen in the 80's, we loaded up in a pickup truck to do some egging and eventually had shots taken at us. There were 3 shots fired and two hit the tailgate and one was unaccounted for. I think it must have been a .22 or something fairly small.

We were where we shouldn't have been, doing things we shouldn't have been doing (if you catch my drift). Very scary moment.

We are going to be serving a long prison sentence. I have found the idea of owning a Mercedes problematic.
Reminds me of a joke, “What is the difference between a porcupine and a Mercedes owner? Answer “One has the pricks on the inside!”
