Happened to me near JFK. Cracked the windshield, and certainly could have killed us if it broke apart.

12 miles from my house.

I heard on the radio three days ago.

They played the inconsolable brother saying through hysterical tears “I couldn’t stop the bleeding”, “I couldn’t stop the bleeding”.

I had a very strong reaction.

Then it was all over local news last night and now it’s gone national.

Unbelievably heartbreaking.

Beyond teenage stupidity. They killed a man. Congratulations, boys. You just changed the complete arc of your life.

These lids are probably too stupid to understand the basic physics that they are throwing a rock that is essentially going 70 mph.

They probably think it would be like dropping it on a parked car.

And if not, that’s what their lawyer will argue.

I always drive like I'm in Iraq around certain neighborhoods, esp. when someone is seen on an overpass or there is debris at an overpass.

Most dangerous are the large signs that I look at for people hiding behind and I switch lanes when I come up to them (if I can).

MOD for kids is to drop rocks vertically from bridge from behind the sign as a lookout calls out range and speed.

Get your ass over to another lane when you see signs like this also:

Defensive driving folks, esp. in large Democrat-led cities.

Deciding to throw a rock through a fast-moving car or truck. That’s premeditated. Conviction should lead to the gallows for the five one-time rope testers.

“White was struck in the face and head”

Wow, both the face and the head. What are the odds the rock would hit both.

I'll bet the authorities are withholding their names.

I don't usually condone stuff like this - but their fellow inmates aren't gonna need their names...

I thought that when you're charged as an adult you lose whatever protections you might have had under juvenile justice laws.I would think that would include withholding the name of an accused.

They have to be made to take the consequences of their actions. Jail for life. No parole. Age makes no difference.
