This prompted the DOT to add fencing to all freeway overpasses and pedestrian bridges.
The rot from Denver is spreading, IMHO.
This is something a Bill Gates would do.
What do you want to bet that the perpetrator was high on pot?
Anyone in on $100?

Similar incident happened on one of the L.A. freeways a number of years ago. Dumb kids were throwing rocks off of a freeway bridge onto approaching cars, and one of the rocks went through a windshield and killed one of the individuals in the vehicle. The idiots were arrested and prosecuted but I can’t recall what penalties were administered.
If the murderer is of a protected racial, ethnic, religious, political, or sexual class nothing will be done.
We had this same problem in Seattle, and yes, it came from people associated with the homeless encampments. In the first half of 2021, there were 75 known incidents. Some people were arrested, there seemed to be a lull, and now it’s starting again.
We have some really sick bastards in this country!!!
I have seen homeless people throwing debris into the traffic lanes on the freeway at morning commute times. They are some of the ones that seem angry about everything. Marijuana is not the root cause of stupidity it is the result of stupidity. People who fear that other people are hopped up on marijuana cigarettes are the ones that want drug laws that make criminals out of harmless people that end up overwhelming the justice system. Resources spent interdicting drugs and prosecuting users could be better used stopping robberies and burglaries. Of course proponents of drug laws think that they are getting to the root of the problem of criminality.

Rocks, rocks are the problem. They need to have people get registrations for Rocks. No possession of Rocks unless you pass a background check. You shouldn’t have the right to protect yourself with a Rock. Rocks are a problem, and unless you limit access to Rocks, they are going to go in and kill children. Maybe even at schools. Camouflage and Black rocks are ‘assault’ Rocks, and must be made illegal. There should be a limitation on Rocks any one, or area, can hold at one time. Drugs don’t kill people, Rocks kill people.
These cases seem to be prosecuted very lightly.
I remember a case from 30 years ago...a man dropped a rock off an overpass and it struck a baby in a car seat, killing her instantly. He got about five years.
Some teenagers threw a frozen turkey at an uncoming car. Broke every bone in the driver’s face, she was in a coma, traumatic. They were sentenced to a couple years.
It’s felony murder at the least. Not manslaughter. Not assault. I think you’d be more likely to survive if someone took a single shot at your car than dropped a rock through your windshield.
We had a rash of this here in michiganstan....
It was some teenagers doing it..
They killed someone...
They currently reside in prison
He should be talking about the marginal tax rates on capital gains.
has happened in Texas too. Lots of sick people that need to be put down
Calls for immediate roadside execution of the perp.
Or from an overpass.
Many of the overpasses in Los Angeles - especially ones for pedestrians - are caged in or have high fences along the sides b/c rocks and other heavy objects were being thrown onto the cars below.
Many of the overpasses have been taken over by homeless - they are cleared out - and the homeless reappear within days.
Especially bad along the 110.
“I suspect someone from the homeless camps along the highwys. The rot from Denver is spreading.”
large stones are thrown at high velocity by pickup truck coming from opposite direction ... these attacks are occurring miles part ...
Many years ago someone dropped a cinderblock through my dad’s windshield. It went through the passenger side, and he was not injured.
