Thanks
Freepers are headline or first paragraph sorts
I’m ambivalent
These kids were pretty young
If they didn’t intend to kill dropping a sandbag then murder is at least to me a reach
But for the sake of the victims family I’d be pissed
Whoever dropped the bag should at least have gone to reform school for a couple years
IMHO dropping a sandbag down on a speeding car sure seems to meet the usual legal definition of either 2nd degree murder or manslaughter.
They killed an innocent person but get treated by the judge as if they were caught stealing a candy bar.
Yikes, don't start that argument again. :-) Things got kind of testy in the thread about the kid who got decapitated on the water slide. Second degree murder is often charged in cases where there was no intent to kill, but the perp was engaged in behavior that was so reckless that it showed a wanton disregard for human life. Throwing a sand bag off a bridge onto a traveled highway certainly qualifies.

Sorry, but this is ridiculous. Perhaps they believed that dropping a sandbag on a moving vehicle would result in a distortion of the vehicle, and the driver, into a funny shape like in a cartoon or video game. This erroneous belief does not absolve them of anything.
What do most murderers say when questioned about the sequence of events leading to the murder? “Then the gun went off.”
They are young and stupid and it never crossed their deformed little brains that dropping any thing from that over pass would and could kill some one.
They were never taught right from wrong and their lack of human decency and normal development came from the public school system so in other words they had none
reform school = deform school as they only come out worse
Do they even have those places any longer.
Prison has a nice ring to it
