CARVER – Police say someone shot an ear of corn through a police cruiser’s windshield using a makeshift device.

Police say the corn, which had previously been described only as a “projectile,” damaged the cruiser but did not cause any injuries. At least two other cars have been hit by objects fired at them near Purchase and Callow streets in the last week.

We need to serialize corn so we can track these back.

here’s my soundtrack...

Everytime I see one on the side of the road shooting radar, I always feel the need to shoot back with something else.

They are just there trying to extract money from us. Tax collectors in patrol cars....

Is the shooter a stalker?

[Fungi]

Were they kernels or cobs and did anyone hear them?

[PROCON]

You tell me, I’m all ears...

[Cicero]

I trust it’s not GMO corn.

The ear of corn penetrated the cop car windshield? It must have had some serious muzzle velocity.

Frozen?

Aw, shucks, ya’ll are cracking me up.

[Army Air Corps]

Not that you speak from experience...

Did it leave a corn hole?

Possible

I remember one day some teens were throwing small green apples at cars. They hit a lady in the head who had her window down. She lost control and hit another car.

I remember the cops chasing the teens through the neighborhood, which was stupid because it was a small town and they had been identified.

They got arrested but paid a stiffer penalty when her family got a hold of them.

Anybody shooting stuff at cars moving at highway speeds is endangering lives and deserves to have the livin crap beat outta them.

Purchase Street is cranberry bog country. Why corn?

[Ray76]

There’s a kernel of truth in that.

LOL

I’d like to know who cob-bled this weapon together.

Well when you grow up in a household dominated by men - two older brothers, dad and an uncle .....
