The picture shows a few cops standing in the grass on the side of "A" Road..next to part of a police car. There's a train or some sort of wall in the background, and we are able to see maybe about "1" foots worth of "A" road in the picture. The entire stretch of the road, and its surrounding area are NOT shown.
Did I forget to mention that the "original" article posted in this forum never stated that the picture represented the spot where the children were throwing eggs.
And lest us not forget that the names of the streets and information that you received from the "subsequent article"(not the original one posted in this forumn)..do little to support exactly where the children were at when they assaulted drivers. Not that it matters, but I find it funny that despite all this lack of information, you are somehow able to determine what the entire road is encompassed by..and where the kids were when they engaged in the attack? 🙄 😆
A link to the article where you received your updated information from is directly below this paragraph.
Little sh*theads get what's comming to them
note* The article above alludes to the children more than likely being involved in a string of vandalism and assaults in the area..
and common ****ing sense tells you that a residential street isn't busy near MIDNIGHT on a SUNDAY NIGHT when people have to go to work/school the next day.
But, then again, common sense also tells you that you're not supposed to open fire on kids throwing eggs, so I guess it isn't so common.
Again..common ****ing sense tells us that if we assault people and their cars at MIDNIGHT on a SUNDAY...we're going to get a negative reaction. But again...like these little sh*tburgers..you do not seem to understand this simple concept.
Got another question for ya bud..if this had been a Police Vehicle(marked or unmarked) and the children had played their little "JOKE" on Police Officers....would you be so inclined to say that the officer would be in the wrong for firing a "warning shot" at them?
And after you answer that question..try to answer this one.
If one of the attackers had been killed by the "warning" shot fired by the Police Officer...who would be to blame for his death?
Yeah, my first assumption is that it's kids being kids. I'd be angry, but I'm not stupid enough to kill children over it. Assaulting people doesn't equal a "joke" in my opinion. Had the person who was "assaulted" died, it's a totally different story, but they didn't, rendering your scenario invalid. Someone DID die, and it was a kid, by someone who wrongfully took offense to a prank.If they were out to hurt someone "maliciously", you really think EGGS were the way to go? Why not rocks? Why not A GUN? Why not a slingshot? Why not water balloons? All of which would have a MUCH, MUCH more significant impact on the operator of a motor vehicle? Why not? Because I highly doubt they were out to hurt innocent people with their prank.
The kids location isn't a moot point, either. The speed limit plays a major factor, as does road signage. i.e. the driver had to be going pretty slow, if not stopped, for the egger to nail the guy dead in the head, the driver driving slow enough to stop, get out of his car, take out a gun, and hit TWO kids while they're running. Location makes a big, big difference, infact. You couldn't do that on any highway, where the average speed limit is 55 MPH. If you can, you must be S.W.A.T. [/B]
Let me break things down a bit, your rationale is that if intention to harm does not = death, Then one's response to an assault should be "HA...HA VERY FUNNY.. IT'S NOT A SERIOUS CRIME..BOYS WILL BE BOYS..." Even though the possibility of a more serious offense being commited exists.
With that type of rationale...I could state that a burglar who robs a bank and fires a loaded gun, shouldn't be charged with attempted murder, because he didn't kill anyone. Or that a police officer who fires at an individual for throwing an object at him without provacation..should be charged with a serious crime.
Again my friend.."common sense" dictates the rationale behind these two scenarios to be obsurd..but as you alluded to earlier with your response..
Common sense is not so "common" now a days..
