These kids need the cane, then spend the summer picking up all the litter on the highway. Fuckin arseholes…send them to Indonesia where they know how to deal with punks. —Sick of “Youth Slap-On-The-Hand Justice Act”

Hey..what you sayin about Indonesia!
I think you are more looking for Singapore for that purpose anyway.
As tempting as it might be at that age to throw rocks off a bridge, they really could have killed someone. If it had been a family member of mine I would want some retribution. I would disagree though and think our current justice system is tailored more for youth like this than the repeat violent future/current pimp/crack dealer offenders that get thug love until they kill/rape/rob someone as an adult and end up surprised to be facing hard time and no prospects when months before they got away scott free.
I dunno about sending them away, sounds like a paid vacation. Somehow our over protective young offenders act would follow them and keep them safe.
As stupid as they were being, kids I can forgive… Adults who do this on the other hand… they do exist.
Kids have been doing this since the friggin’ dark ages!
Ask Hannibal about the rocks that got whipped at his elephants.
it is only a matter of time til someone either gets hit with a rock, goes off road and gets killed, or scares bejeebus out of driver, causing same scenario. or at a long shot, actually hits someone, and kills them outright. these little motherfucks really need to be taught a serious lesson. i would suggest anyone seeing this shit going on, interact, and give them a good swift boot in the ass.
I remember the days when kids were scared of the older generation.
I miss those days.
Kids aren’t scared of the older generation, because the “new” older generation are a bunch of wimps.
I’ll call kids and teenagers out all time if they’re dicks, and you know what, the vast majority of the time they back right down.
I’ve been in the situation where an object (ice in my case) punches through the windscreen while driving… (rig in front of me didn’t clear the ice off the top of the truck and it punched through right over the steeringwheel)
it’s terrifying to say the least…and I was surrounded by trucks and lucky I wasn’t in a resulting crash. To actually initiate this on someone shows very little regard for others well-being or livelihood. I doubt there’s any way to legally demonstrate how it feels…
so I would approve of throwing the book at them. Regardless of age, they need to know their actions have (sometimes dire) consequences.
(fyi, I spend over an hour at the hospital getting the glass out of my hand)
True,
But then the other times they egg you on until you end up slapping one of them or some shit, then you get thrown in jail..
Fucking bubble wrap culture.
And Jesus zZz, that’s intense.
The kids trowing rocks at cars have been charged with Mischief Endangering a Life – The maximum punishment for that is life in prison. I don’t know what they’ll get but it’s a serious charge.
How ’bout tying a bungee cord around each one of those little fucks and bouncing them off the overpass?
yeah, fallingangels, that’s why you pick one little shit up and hit the other with him.
little jerks. they won’t get life but they should certainly get yearS.
I’m sure they’d be pretty fucked if I blindfolded myself and went at their bed at night with a chainsaw… and MIGHT nick or kill them… or potentially just damage THEIR fucking property.
and yeah, it was pretty insane… only the second time I got the intense pleasure of feeling ‘shock’
ice chunk the size of a baseball went through, off the steering wheel, hit me in the neck and landed in the back seat. welt for 3 days and shit load of tiny cuts on my hand.
Still got the pics on my old cell to prove it too.
Singapore does the caning. Indonesia would just murder them.
Let’s send them to Indonesia anyway! I hear Bali’s nice, aside from all the drunk Bogans.
“MATE! Me wifey here paid 1,000 bloody Rupiah for this Sari here fair and square, right! Now give it to me or I’ll bloody well bash ya!”
“No deal! 2,000 or nothing!”
“Bloody ‘ell this fucking country! Get fucked, mate! I’m goin’ to get pissed, pass me a Winnie and get me VB, dahhlin’.”
Fuck you Sebastian.
Indonesia is fucking awesome.
Hah Q, that was nice…
TTFN. I will puchase the bungee cords, you push them off and I will meet them downstairs with a cricket bat. They won’t make the first bounce.
Make sure you whap their hides into an oncoming 18 wheeler with a giantgrinninggreengoblinhead on the grill. Stephen King would be thrilled.
“”Hey..what you sayin about Indonesia!

Yeah, in Indonesia you only get your hand cut off by a mullah in the public square…
“”so I would approve of throwing the book at them.”‘
For what? Not climbing up on top of a 4.0 trailer covered with, um, ice and hacking away with a pick axe for 6 hours?
Talk to workman’s comp about THAT plan, lol.
You want drivers to clear ice off their trucks than you call your gov’t and get them to build the facilities to do so.
How close were you following?
That’ll learn ya!
