Growing up in Indiana, I used to do this periodically. Lucky for me, Hoosiers don't take it as seriously.

Unfortunately, these young delinquents were probably killed by gang-members themselves. Harsh lesson to learn on the streets of California, it is not safe to chuck eggs at anything.

[cmsgop]

Wonder Why they were Throwing Egg's in the first place....

[genefromjersey]

I've heard of "road rage " , but this seems a bit egg-gregious !

Somehow I don't think a red Kia is a gang member's preferred vehicle-of-choice ....

If the kids were at home behaving instead of out on the streets at 2AM committing mischief, one of them wouldn't be dead right now. As tragic an ending as this is, I am not too sympathetic for the youths stabbed.

[RichInOC]

Word to the wise...don't throw eggs at cars going home from the bars at closing time.

[Dog Gone]

Pass egg-control legislation now!

[montag813]

One teen-ager was killed and another was beaten when two men attacked them early Sunday after they threw eggs at cars, police said.

No sympathy. What idiots.

[thepitts]

No sympathy. What idiots.

No kidding, I agree, we should start applying the death penalty across the board. Including traffic infractions, jay walking etc.

[Pompah]

What Idiots. Agreed. Not wise to throw anything at a passing car without an "Escape Route" already planned out.
Too Bad.

[jerrymdss]

Agreed that these KIDS made a foolish mistake, but it does not justify brutal murder by some scum with a bad temper.
-- death penalty is appropriate for the perp(s) that killed this boy if convicted.

[swarthyguy]

We had to run for our lives thru front yards and back yards because the eggs we threw hit the girlfriends of some guys on both the HS football and hockey teams. It was a warm night, they had the convertible top down and we nailed them with about a dozen eggs before we had to get the heck outta there.

[Dog Gone]

The attackers, if found, would certainly only face 2nd degree murder charges. The death penalty is a joke in California anyway. Even in this budget crisis, Governor Davis is proposing a lavish new death row facility to house all the inmates he's not executing.

[TightSqueeze]

No sympathy. What idiots.

Your government thinks so too, so, you are not in to bad of company, soon all crimes will be capitol crimes, who is to stop the bastards anyway. But, I will have no pity on you when it is your turn in the barrel, stay smart.

[tenthirteen]

The last name is SHYROCK....not SHYLOCK.

Whatever could you be thinking about?

[Eaker]

HELLO

These were not kids. They are adults. I don't agree that one should have been killed, but they certainly deserved to get their asses kicked.

Stay safe; stay armed.

They'll never make that mistake again. Lesson learned, the hard way.

Hope they do catch the murderers, of course.
