Jose Pesce: "Do I amuse you? Like some clown?"

It was a bizarre and horrible assault. The weapon: a 20 pound turkey thrown out of a moving car and onto the windshield of an oncoming car. The driver is in critical condition. It happened on Long Island in Lake Ronkonkoma.
# After being hit with something that weighs more than a cinder block, the victim lost consciousness while driving. If it wasn't for a friend in the passenger's seat who leaned over and grabbed the steering wheel, who knows how many would have been killed? The victim of this attack is in critical condition, with severe trauma to her face. Images from the Story
The assisant chief with the fire department showed us how the impact from the solid frozen mass knocked the driver unconscious.
Asst. Chief Bob Wallace, Farmingdale Fire Dept: "She had severe facial trauma, she wasn't stable, she was in and out. She was unconscious at one point. The steering wheel was flattened out which took a majority of the impact. The turkey ended up in the rear seat behind the passenger side."
Police say they have pictures of the assailants, five teens caught on store suveillance tape in the aisles of the Waldbaum's supermarket.
Police say they bought a 20 pound turkey. They obviously didn't think that their purchase would be traced back to them and a credit card reported stolen in the afternoon.
Danielle Mazzocchi, Resident: "Kids don't think about consequences. They just act and then just take the consequences later.."
Jose Pesce, Resident: "Some message has to be sent that these kinds of things don't happen. Throwing turkeys off of the bridges and everything. A lot of kids used to throw bricks off of bridges, and nothing ever happened. That's why they keep doing it."
These kids could be in a whole lot of trouble. The sources who saw the pictures on the videotape say you can see the faces of all five teenage suspects.
Those pictures will be shown to the police. A press conference is scheduled for Thursday and relatives of the victim will be there and Eyewitness News will be covering that.
"As God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly!"
Seriously, these little punk bastards need time. I hope that lady fully recovers.
No, pumpkin pie is dessert, turkey is dinner.
What's a jappy type?
I wouldn't ask any of the five of those little pricks to pass the giblet gravy come Thanksgiving Day. This is a horible crime.

i went to gw for college and there were a lot of long island japs there.
People don't kill. . . . turkeys do. (/end sarcasm)
Probably, but a charge of attempted murder isn't.
It's going to be easier for kids to buy beer than turkeys and whipped cream.
Agreed, this is attempted murder. If the authorities catch these punks, I hope they prosecute them to the max.
I have a friend who's wife was killed when a cinderblock was thrown off an overpass.
Hanging is too good for these punks.
After so many reports of punks throwing rocks and stuff from overpasses, I'm particularly vigilant whenever I drive under one. But seriously, what kind of idiot buys a turkey and throws it from a moving car? What is the thought process here? In the immortal words of Angie Harmon, "Hang 'em all."
You bet. Anyone would be lucky to survive that. These AHs may as well been throwing bowling balls at cars.
Unbelieveable! Sending good thoughts and prayers that the victim recovers and the punk perps are hung out to dry!
In Lake Ronkonkoma it was probably a skinhead wannabe..
(snicker)
When turkeys are banned...only criminals will have turkeys!
they'll get them, the Suffolk County cops (highest average pay in the nation by the way) will find these punks.

I heard about this on the radio. These kids need more than an ass whuppin. These kids need to do some serious time.
