What if that guy was packing and he snapped and just started shooting those kids?Jayridesacove said:
*I'm just saying, people who f*ck with complete strangers really don't have a clue what they're getting into until some gets hurt.
Eh, I wouldn't say its beyond 'normal' stupidity. I know some people that have tried lighting bottle rockets out of their ass.Jayridesacove said:
Man I've done some ridiculously stupid crap as a teenager. Vandalism, destroying public and private property etc.
At 25, I'm glad I got it out of my system, and was certainly lucky I wasn't caught for anything.
These kids with the waterbaloons...I'm old enough to say they were doing stupid crap, but I could see myself doing what they were doing had I been their age.
Young and dumb..

You are absolutely right. The kid is definitely going to learn a hard lesson(just like the punk who ate a headlight as a result of "dooring"), but a water balloon or snowball or bottle rocket are not the same as someone dropping boulders off overpasses and caving in craniums.Jayridesacove said:
'What if's' are useless; 'What did's' are what matter, both in my estimation and that of our legal system. Intent plays only a partial role.
Now- care to guess what the state code has to say about the potential punishments for:
a) minor throwing a water balloon at a moving vehicle?
-and-
b) adult attempted vehicular homicide(or perhaps manslaughter, due to mental state incited w/ water balloon)?
The prosecution rests.
Um no, nobody said that.LordOpie said:
Society depends on people following rules of order. That might be the law, or societal norms, moral obligations, whatever. If they expect people around them to act according to the law and in a civil way, they need to as well. Once they step over that line, all bets are off.
Like Jay said, they were TRYING to get a reaction. For kicks. They should not be surprised or complain because they got more of a reaction than they expected.
They are lucky they didn't get shot. That doesn't mean it would have been ok to shoot them, but they are still lucky.
It's like stepping off the curb into moving traffic. You might have the right of way but you will still get hurt.

Hey look, a non-sequitur quote. Ok, I'll play:
"Some people call it a kaiser blade, but I like to call it a sling blade."
Did you have a point?

[Sigh.] You are still not getting it. I didn't say or suggest that it's ok. What I said was that they shouldn't be surprised that someone reacted in a way that turned ugly. Actions have consequences, whether the law is on your side or not. If they didn't incite this dude's behavior, he would not have chased them down.
Chances are pretty good these clowns won't be throwing balloons anymore. That's not because of some newfound respect for the law, it's because they learned a hard lesson about reality.
But please, go ahead and think I'm psycho with no respect for the law or society. In fact, spread the word. Maybe nobody will throw water balloons at me while I'm driving. And maybe nobody will throw crap at me while I'm out riding my bike anymore.
This article is slightly more detailed than the original posted link.

i live in a pretty nice neighborhood and a few weeks ago about 30 mailboxes were damaged from baseball bats and M80's. then a couple nights ago, a few cars were egged. one of my neighbors is the type to chase down the teens and send them to the hospital.
you screw with peoples property, you better be prepared for the consequences.

It sounds as though they were asking for it.Jayridesacove said:
Hit car with baloon. Guy chases. See the car again, more baloons. What could possibly happen next........?
Judge decides the punishment for the guilty.llkoolkeg said:
I had some kids throw a brick at my car one night. There were 3 young kids. I saw it, swerved, and the brick missed my windshield. I proceeded to chase them with my car across a field, through a parking lot, and around an empty shopping center parking lot. As I chased them, they scattered, and I finally caught up to one of them who was so winded he couldn't run any further.
I got out of my car and saw he was about 12. I told him how stupid he and his friends had been, and that they could have hurt or killed me. I also pointed out to him that his two friends had split, leaving him alone to face whatever kind of angry lunatic would chase them through a dark field in a compact car, and maybe he ought to think about whether those other two guys were people he wanted to be friends with.

It is a federal crime to destroy a mail box. They will have to pay fines out the ass and have a good chance of going to the slammer. If they get cought.Cursor said:
This winter I did give a Kid a run for his money... I was driving through a sub and got hit with a snow ball... I could have cared less but my window was down and the numbnuts hit me in the side of the face. His first mistake was running back to his house, I parked my car a followed his tracks right back to his front door.... When I knocked on the door his mother answered. That was his second mistake. Turns out the kid had just turned 16... His mom yanked his DL and keys on the spot!
*I am 25 years old, I did not have any intent to cause bodliy damage to the kid. Just wanted to scare the poop out of him.
Water balloons were never intended to be thrown at other vehicles, while riding in a vehicle.ioscope said:
And if you bothered to read the article, both trucks were traveling around 70. The guy bumped them from behind. The truck lost control and started to spin, that is where it probably rolled.
Also, if the driver was such a psycho, why this?
Speculation.stinkyboy said:
We'll never know anything more until the investigations are done and see what charges are pressed against who.
Just more crap from your e-mouth.
It stinks in here, I'll come back whenever the official charges come up.

damn that should be a commercial.LordOpie said:Throwing water ballons at cars: stupid
Ramming someone for throwing water balloons at your car: criminally retarded
Arguing about it on the internet: priceless
hmmm,
This used to be a favorite pass time with me and my friends in high school.
The best was when we took the foreign exchange student from Germany with us!
At first his reaction was:
"Waterballooning?"
Later it was:
"A HA HA HA HA HA! I'm gunna git you Bitches!"
Aghh
Those were the days

So, let me get this straight. You read the entire link that you posted, and you still think its A-OK for that 58 year old man to ram a truckful of teenagers going 70 mph over a water baloon.
Yes, these teens are dip****s for sure. Not only are they throwing water baloons at other cars, which could lead to an accident, but they hit the same guy twice, and he already chased them once. Dumb. Dumb. Dumb.
But what kind of fvcking Gary Busey do you to be, to ram a truck going 70 for any reason. The man stopped to help out, because he knew he just screw the pooch. You wait until the charges are filed. They will get the kids on some little misdemeanor, and the man gonna get something serious. What he did was 50 times more dangerous than throwing a water baloon. Jeez.
