Five teenagers from Michigan have been charged with second-degree murder after being accused of throwing a rock off an overpass that killed a man, according to the Genesee County Sheriff's Office. Kenneth White, 32, was a passenger in a van that was traveling along I-75 near Flint, Michigan, on the night of October 18, when a 6-pound rock smashed through the windshield of the vehicle, fatally injuring him. White was struck in the face and head, and the rock ricocheted to his chest, causing him to lose consciousness, according to Genesee County Sheriff Robert Pickell. The driver told police he...

Four Ohio teens face murder charges after allegedly throwing a sandbag from a highway overpass. The bag smashed through the windshield of a car that Marquise Byrd, 22, was riding in last week on Interstate 75 in Toledo. Byrd died from severe head injuries on Friday. Three of the boys charged are 14 years old, and the other is 13. They had already been charged with felonious assault, reports CBS News correspondent Jericka Duncan. Around 10 p.m. last Tuesday, a woman was driving with her friend, Byrd, under an overpass when something came crashing through the passenger-side windshield. She pulled...

In recent months, a loosely coordinated band of activists have displayed anti-Obama signs from atop overpasses across the U.S. After one town cracked down on the practice, conservatives involved in the movement are crying foul. Officials in Campbell, Wis. recently passed legislation that specifically targets signage displayed within 100 feet of a bridge, precisely the areas targeted by the so-called “Overpasses for Impeachment” campaign. Town Chairman Scott Johnson claims the decision stemmed from “them distracting people,” which he said “constituted a safety risk.” Despite insistence that the new laws are designed to combat distracted driving, Tea Party-aligned activists naturally feel...

As public sentiment against Barack Obama continues to grow, more and more patriots are joining forces with a nationwide campaign to impeach the failed president. Many of these protesters join with other locals to hold signs of disapproval on overpasses across the U.S. While opposition is to be expected with any politically charged event, one group of Georgia women recently learned just how threatening the left can be toward conservatives. While holding signs above one road in Gwinnett County, protesters say they received multiple threats — including one by a man with a gun. The man reportedly pulled up to...

"Citizens have a right to peaceably assemble," said Messmer, who was part of a series of overpass demonstrations around the country seeking the president's impeachment. "We were simply doing that. There were no laws broken." Sgt. Al Nothum, a spokesman for the Missouri Highway Patrol, said the potential for a traffic hazard was why the two and 10 or so other protesters were told by officers to leave the Fairgrounds Road overpass about 2 p.m. The two were arrested, he said, for failing to obey. Nothum said the patrol wants charges filed but prosecutors have yet to decide. The patrol...

There’s a new grass-roots movement developing across the country that likely isn’t going to mean good news for President Obama. The folks at Overpasses For Obama’s Impeachment are staging protests on those freeway overpasses across the country, calling for impeachment. WND has reported that Watergate investigator Bob Woodward of the Washington Post compares Barack Obama to Richard Nixon. Members of Congress say it’s about time to consider impeachment. Rock legend Ted Nugent says Obama’s constitutional violations make him eligible to be impeached. And even Code Pink co-founder Medea Benjamin has called for Obama’s removal. There’s also a national petition that...

YAKIMA, Wash. — There was no way the agencies monitoring wildlife along the Interstate 90 corridor could supply the manpower needed for a yearlong survey of animals along the highway, so they turned to you. Well, you and anyone else who drives the stretch of I-90 connecting Eastern and Western Washington. That was the genesis of the I-90 Wildlife Watch, a multi-agency effort that enlisted public volunteers -- commuters -- to document wildlife sightings. "That information is really hard to collect," said Paula MacKay, an Ellensburg-based research associate with Western Transportation Institute. "You have to be in the right place...

South Texas is not only going to get its first interstate - it is also going to get a second and a third. State transportation officials knew one of three southern highways - U.S. Highway 281 in Hidalgo County, U.S. Highway 77 in Cameron County or U.S. Highway 59 in Webb County - would eventually become part of an interstate stretching from the Texas-Mexico border to Texarkana, in the northeast part of the state. Only Webb County is currently served by an interstate. The state's Trans-Texas Corridor plan calls for an Interstate 69 extension linking South Texas to points north,...

<p>With public debate over war in Iraq at a critical stage, a federal appeals court today made it clear that California transportation officials cannot allow the American flag on highway overpasses without also allowing anti-war protesters and others to post signs bearing political messages.</p>

This as an ACTION PLAN for PASSIONATE CONSERVATIVES to counter the lefts anti-war demonstrations using small groups of patriots to reach the most people: (1) Utilize key highway OVERPASSES to get out our message. Anti-war activists are already using some of these bridges to display their banners. If so, monitor their websites to obtain day and time of their banner placement. Place our banners before they arive. (2) COUNTER DEMONSTRATIONS include waving Old Glory (Rally 'Round the Flag) and holding large banner(s). Don't tie banner to overpass fence as this is illegal. You do have the constitutional right to hold...
