Boy throws rocks at cars, shot by crossbow - CBS News (http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2011/08/30/national/main20099252.shtml)

I'm not sure I how feel about this.

[Araaadi]

Depending of the age, I would of just of just gotten out, and scared the shit out of the kid. Attempted murder isn't needed, it is just a car at the end of the day....

[StylinRed]

his injuries are not life-threatening.

It'd be awesome if the next day an arrow was stuck to the front door of the family home that read, "Raise your kids right or you're next."

Don't bring rocks to a crossbow fight.

[taylor192]

I was in a bus that had a 6" rock thrown through the front window by kids, from an overpass on a highway. Thankfully it didn't hit the driver and he stopped the bus without incident (imagine if he lost control), yet it did hit a senior :(

I think people, kids or not, get what they deserve. I wish I could have caught those kids that day, I would've beat them with the same rock until the cops pulled me off.

[Gumby]

I've been hit on the passenger side window with a snowball while stopped at a light. It scared the shit out of me & the passenger. :flamemad:

When Throwing Rocks at Cars Avoid Toyota RAV4s Armed with Crossbows
By Matt Kiebus Wednesday, August 31, 2011

A 16-year-old San Diego teen found out this out the hard way, when the arrow hit him in his stomach.

Kids do stupid shit all the time. High school breeds a certain inescapable rebelliousness. For a short period of time most teens think they’re invincible to repercussions of the physical or criminal variety. The result is petty theft, fights in the school’s courtyard, unnecessary speeding while driving, cheating in the classroom and of course throwing rocks at moving vehicles.

Okay, maybe the last example isn’t as common, but it does happen. I knew of troublemaking twins from my high school that climbed on top a building in my town and flung rocks at passing cars.

Yes, it’s extremely dangerous, but at the age of 16, hitting expensive shit with rocks might also be the most exhilarating thing in the world. Teenagers have a rather skewed perception of consequences – they don’t exist. The less dangerous version of this activity is tossing snowballs into traffic. It’s harmless in terms of damage, yet still precarious for the easily distracted driver.

Normally cars continue on their not-so-merry way, but in some cases a hot- tempered driver may roll down a window to curse and sometimes they’ll call the police. But rarely does a driver exit their vehicle to give chase. Those people are crazy.

However no one can hold a candle to the passenger of a black Toyota RAV4 in San Diego, California.

A boy was shot in the abdomen by a crossbow bolt Monday after he and another boy were throwing rocks at a passing car in Linda Vista, San Diego police said.

A passenger in a black Toyota RAV4 pulled out a crossbow and fired one bolt before driving away around 2:15 p.m. on Linda Vista Road near Mesa College Drive, said police Officer Dino Delimitros.

Now, I know a lot of people will think justice is served in this situation. Some will argue the arrogant little punk deserved a steel tip buried in his abdomen. These people are equally crazy. No one deserves to be shot with a medieval hunting weapon used on bears simply because they were being assholes. Especially if the reason was denting the hood of a damn RAV4. I mean, come on, people still drive those?

But let this be a lesson for future teenage hooligans to hide better, because the breeding ground for moronic behavior will not dry up over one abdomen piercing. Seriously, make another poor life decision and grab some camouflage cargo shorts from Abercromie or something. (Because who owns a pair of those anymore? Am I right?) Maybe consider switching to Koosh balls, and most importantly stay the fuck away from RAV4s.

[xPhuong]

^LOL at RAV4 Comment.

[vafanculo]

The fact I just found out he was 16, made this story sit more well with me. After reading OP's link, I imagined the boy was 12..why? Cause that's what I would expect a 12 year old to do.

16 year old had it coming. Wish he got it in the nuts instead though.

[fliptuner]

12? I thought they were like 8?

Jeez, when I was 16, I was too busy working, going to school, hanging out with my friends and GF and cruising around in my pos car, to get caught up in dumb shit like this.

Exactly. If a teenager has a life (hey, even playing video games all day would count in this case), chances are they won't be doing stupid shit like this.

Now that would make for an interesting story..

16?! who the hell chose the word "boy" ???? geez what a retard

[twitchyzero]

judging from RS typical response, if someone hits your car on purpose, it's okay to run them over as long as you don't kill them.

im surprised no one said they will spit back at them or throw pennies at them.

[chopstickz]

at least he didnt die..

[flagella]

yup, all depend on his age, and when I saw he's 16, it made my day.

[RabidRat]

yeah fact that he's a 16 yr old punk kid makes the difference for me. serves him fuckin right.

I'm sorry, should we get out of our cars, go over and have a nice, friendly chat with these teens and tell them that it's not polite to damage other people's property?

Seriously, these "boys" are 16 years old. They sure as shit know that there are consequences to every action. Maybe a crossbow to the stomach is a little extreme, but i guarantee that the message got sent loud and clear.

The question is, do you think he will throw rocks at cars again? Probably not. lol

[Obsideon]

The stupid punk deserves... what is the fun in damaging property? I never understood that concept ... but then a crossbow is pretty extreme... what if it hit him in the throat?... that would be insta-kill... but this does give me an idea... how about a boosted paintball gun? Unloading a full case, full-auto on the punk sounds about right! :thumbsup:

[Vern]

"He shoots, he scores!"

[achiam]

I feel pretty good about it. It'd be even better if the passenger had something stronger. Like a TEC-9.

[Ronin]

If some 16 year old punk threw a rock at my car and I had a crossbow, I'd shoot him too. Completely reasonable thing to do. Oh, you don't like getting shot with a crossbow? Well, I don't like getting my car pelted with rocks. Let's just stay away from each other, why don't we?

If we're not going to blame boys for being boys, then you can't blame a man with a crossbow being a man with a crossbow.

Even if he died, I probably wouldn't have any sympathy. He brought it on himself.

[hchang]

Reminds me of this video.

little kid gets driven over after he throws a rock at a Car - YouTube

[dangonay]

If you're a pedestrian and you look at me the wrong way when crossing the street I'm going to run you over. If you cut me off in traffic I'll pull out my piece and unload it into your car. You look at my girlfriend the wrong way in a bar and my buddies and I will be waiting to bust your kneecaps when you walk out. You bump your car door into mine in a parking lot and I'll bump my Louisville Slugger into your teeth.

I'm not going to stop to think of any alternatives like having the other person pay for damages - I'll go straight to the top and teach this person a lesson they won't forget. It doesn't matter if anyone else thinks it's overkill or extreme - to me it's perfectly justified, and that's all that matters. Nobody, and I mean nobody fucks with me and gets away with it - EVER.

All of the examples you listed are mistakes. Throwing rocks at cars is not a mistake. I wonder how many cars got hit that day that didnt do anything about it. Whats next, dropping a bowling ball from an overpass onto a highway in the name of fun?

I haven't been in elementary school for a long time now, but I doubt they teach kids fear. Instead, kids are taught they can get away with things. They are taught to yell 'stranger' and to walk in buddy groups. Things like respecting other people's properties seem to be last on the list.

I teach the kids in my life to not point at strangers, to not stare, to not laugh at other people. Never know when you will encounter a wack job like the one your portray, or someone carrying a crossbow.

IMO, a crossbow attack was a bit farfetched, but you can't disagree he didn't have it coming. The kid was 16 years old. At that age you are not considered an adult, but your brain is fully functional, and I am sure that a 16 year old and a 30 year old both know that throwing rocks at cars is wrong.

Remember that kid in local news a few years ago that got shot because he slashed the tires of some guy? Well, he had it coming too.

I agree with play with fire and get burned in this situation.

but do I want a criminal record just to teach some punk-ass kid some lesson? Probably not.

Kids aren't supposed to learn fear from school, it's all about neglect and poor parenting skills. I'm no educator or parent but I'm sure there's a middle ground between the usual pep talk and violence on the other end of the spectrum. Responding to aggressive teenager behaviour with violent backlash makes you just as immature as the punkass kid, IMO.

From what I observe, not all kids are the same, so I find it quite funny that everyone thinks that their sole philosophy is the correct one.

That being said, kids are like mutts. Some can be raised with gentle child rearing and common sense reasoning and they turn out well, whereas some are like pitbulls or the like where you have to child rear them dominantly or they will take over you and think they own the world (and rules and consequences do not apply to them)

I guess that's some crude wordings but what I meant to say is: "that depending on some kids, firm-hand rearing can be quite neccessary"

[rriggi]

I remember being stupid when younger like 12 - 13, and like setting up pylons and setting up those plastic fences from construction sites in quiet streets like roadblocks. Variety of responses usually, some would honk, turn around, some would get out laughing and move it, some would drive straight through, some would see one of us and chase us around. Sure it was wrong and inconvenient but funny at the time.

Its a very simple concept, had this idiot not been throwing rocks and damaging peoples property, he wouldn't have been shot by a crossbow.

Reminds me about this that happened in Surrey...:facepalm::facepalm:

A 20-year-old Surrey man has been charged with second degree murder after allegedly killing a teenager who vandalized a car he was driving.

The victim, 17-year-old Aden Aliu, was walking along 103 Avenue in Surrey’s Guildford neighbourhood early Wednesday morning with a group of friends.

The group of teens were slashing cars tires and had dented in the doors of a vehicle according to police. The group was then confronted by the suspect two blocks later. The 20-year-old allegedly opened fire, killing Mr. Aliu.

“They were acting like stupid children and as a result of that, unfortunately, one male, who we know [is] involved in the criminal lifestyle had taken upon himself to end that person’s life. That’s a tragedy,” said the RCMP Superintendent Dan Malo of the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team.

Mr. Aliu had moved from Albania several years ago without his parents and was living with an uncle in Surrey, not far from where he was killed, Corporal Dale Carr of the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team said Friday.

Supt. Malo said the killing deeply touched investigators who put their heads down and built a case against the suspect less than 15 hours after the team was first called on scene.

Police would not reveal how they caught up with the accused, only citing hard work and long days as key to the quick identification of a suspect.

Steven Brandon Mulligan-Brum of Surrey has been charged with second degree murder. He made his first court appearance at Surrey Provincial Court Friday morning.

While he does not belong to one particular gang, Mr. Mulligan-Brum is involved with a number of local gangs, said Supt. Malo.

Mr. Aliu did not have any prior connection to his alleged killer. He has no links to any gangs, drugs or organized crime according to the police.

“In this case, there is no retaliation. This was a one-off, so the community should feel some comfort,” Supt. Malo said.

Some community members said they fear the violence is not over and are fearful for their children.

Aniko Varga said friends of the accused showed up at a memorial for Mr. Aliu set up directly beside a housing complex that is home to many children.

The youths then urinated on the memorial, she said.

“They have made their presence [felt] here last night and we are just concerned because all the kids are here grieving,” Ms. Varga said. “The kids are angry right now and they are talking about it, so we don’t know what is going to happen next.”

Again, if this idiot had not slashed tires and dented doors, he might be alive today:fullofwin:

Just dont fuck with a man's car......

Id say he got the point. :fullofwin:
