Why can't someone drop a rock on THESE peoples heads. I've done my share of juvenile things when I was younger, but I can't say that I've EVER considered heading to the overpass for a rousing game of "Let's throw chunks of concrete onto cars traveling the highway."

Who the f@#$ gets a kick out of this!? Every time I hear one of these stories, it pisses me off to no end.

Just die. Make a useful contribution to the gene pool by doing your part to clean it up. :banghead:

There was a similar incident a few years back in my area. A bunch of kids were throwing cement blocks off an overpass onto the highway. One of the blocks went through a windshield of a car killing the driver who was a Ft. Drum soldier on the way back to his base. His wife and baby were injured as well. They were caught and went to trial and got a nice long prison term.

Gotta love states that allow you to carry concealed weapons. Comes in handy at moments like these.

I know a not so close friend who has a "very funny story about how he was dared by his frat brother to throw rocks over an ovrepass without looking to see if cars were coming and hit a car and ran away" deal... i bitched him out first time he told it, ignored it the second time he told it, and now if he brings it up again, i just call him a pathetic moron.

When I was young we dropped/threw snowballs on cars from the train tracks. It was dangerous but at least nobody ever got hurt. Throwing rocks is just sadistic.

People have been doing this for years in Pittsburgh... it's a freaking mess. I think at one point they thought they had the person, but then it happened again. They've hit taxicabs and even a minivan, as I recall. There is no reason for behavior like this. What the hell is wrong with people?

A bit of this has happened in Sydney recently. A ~20 year old woman is still in a coma 3 weeks after a rock went through the passenger side of the windscreen. She will have permanant brain damage.

Immature children who have no idea of the consequences of their actions.

Seems to be pretty universal. One step up from throwing big rocks into the river, the object of the exercise seems to be to have an effect on one's immediate surroundings rather than to intentionally harm people. There's a degree of stupid bravado attatched, teenagers will always try at some stage to rebel against the conventional wisdoms, but thankfully most attempts at self-defining are less harmful to others.Whoever said that 'rules are made to be broken' obviously didn't have 'don't throw fucking big slabs of concrete off motorway overbridges' in mind.
