In California to throw any object at a moving vehicle is a felony. Where would the bleeding hearts be if the SUV driver had swerved his vehicle because he was surprised and ran over and killed another innocent child. That young adult's actions had consequences. Maybe he'd still be around today if his parents would have raised him to respect the law and other people's property. No sorrow here.
Does that include idiots flipping lighted cigarettes out of their windows that hit other vehicles? Some truckers seem to love to do that.
How do you justify the murder? Because the kid did something stupid? 95% of adults will say they did stupid things as teenagers, and the other 5% are liars. What reward would you give the murderer? A Congressional Gold Medal? A Senate seat? A Nobel prize?
In addition, this is very irresponsible firearms use. Guns are for self-defense, not for getting petty revenge against kids who piss you off.
I can't believe that you are capable of having any compassion for your hypothetical "another innocent child" when you feel no sorrow about this happening. You are nothing more than a cold-blooded sadist who has no respect for human life.
I definitely agree that there should be consequences. Not sure if murder should be one of them especially when there was no loss of life or limb in this case.
If this kid had thrown this object and the action had resulted in the death of a person, I would have joined you in calling for his head.
Not in this case though.
About 5 years ago, someone in a car was killed in columbus when kids threw a brick off an overpass.
"no sorrow here."
amen
But that's not what happened. This is the death penalty for egging car, which is stupid and for sure the boy should have known better, but he's a young fool FOURTEEN. That's just not very old.
Death? no, no, a thousand times NO.
