I admit that throwing eggs at passing cars on the highway is a rather unsavory activity. You could cause a serious accident(which the police officer managed to get across to me when I was twelve after my own egg throwing incident). But death is a rather harsh punishment for malicious mischief, don't you think? :(

Ooh, mad street cred for the peeps in the SUV.

This is why we don't throw eggs at rednecks or gangbangers. Lesson learned.

The suv man is an idiot

The teenagers are also idiots but the suv owner is a bigger idiot

Never egg an Escalade. :(

The kids around these parts will henceforth refrain from throwing eggs at my car though...wait...I don't have a car.

Kids: Stupid
Guy in SUV: Psychotic
Posting like this: Nice and easy to read. :)

I'm goin' wit' gangsta on dis' one, yo!!!
Columbus, OH is a little too far north for rednecks! Besides, it was 14 year old boy that was shot, not a rabbit or a deer!!!

Guns vs. Eggs, hmm.... I wonder who's gunna win. Damn psychos.

Egging cars is a stupid thing to do.
Killing the 14 year old who egged your car is an even stupider thing to do.

I hope the shooter gets life for his extreme overreaction.

Disgusting.

That's bad. Hell, even Palestinian kids who throw rocks at Israeli tanks aren’t shot.

So, murder of a minor, that's a sentence of...

20 years.

Damn. Not that much.

eggs can be a nuisance to clean, especially frow SUV wipers

Or a long-haired commie fag.


Sorry, couldn't resist.

On the glass-is-half-full side, I guaruntee you the egg-throwing problem in Colombus, OH, is officially over.

So, murder of a minor, that's a sentence of...

20 years.

Damn. Not that much.

And that's assuming they catch him.

lol

There are rednecks just about everywhere in North America. Hunting is a $2 billion industry in my state. Hell, even Canada has rednecks, I've seen enough of them on the drive from Sault Sainte Marie to Sudbury.

Those were my thoughts as well.

I think that shooting the teen was overly exessive. The driver should be arrested and tried and if convicted should do whatever Ohio Law recommends.

I, also, think that laws have been way to lenient for the minors and the laws do need to be a bit harsher for the minors. I think parents need to start being parents, too. A lot of parents today want to be their kids friends instead of being a parent. The kids are allowed to run the streets and do all kinds of mischief and if they get punished, they get grounded and sent to their room where they either watch TV, play video games, talk on the phone, play on the computer, etc... Some punishments. Lesson learned. :rolleyes:

I am a resident of Columbus, Ohio and I agree that the shooter should get life for his extreme overreaction. I would also like to point out that geographical location doesn't cause actions such as this.

the world going to hell fast and i like to get off it

Well build a spaceship and your set. Big overreaction by SUV guy.




On a side not thats less eggs so less omelettes :(

Not all hunters are rednecks and not all rednecks are hunters. http://www.nearlygood.com/smilies/shake2.gif

Oh, I don't doubt it, but when you live down here in "Sportsman's Paradise" Louisiana and two of your surrounding states are Mississippi & Arkansas, the rest of the nation's redneck population seems pale in comparison!!! ;)

If someone egged my car, I'd chuck a fairly large rock at their skull.

Oh, great. Fight vandalism with assault. Just like the cops.

That's a bit harsh, don't you think? I'd chase him down, tackle him, kick him in the nuts, bind his legs together with a bungee cord and hang him upside-down from a billboard with more bungee cords until I ran out of his eggs to pelt him with. Then I'd leave him as a warning to other eggers not to fuck with my car. We need to keep our reprisals in proportion. :)

Or better yet, I'd chuck an ostrich egg at him. xD

I'm quite aware of that, but that seemed to be the person I was quoting's assumption. Hunting up here is ingrained deeply into our culture, and the majority of hunters I know aren't the least bit redneck.

I can't argue that.

Hopefully that will teach teens to find a good hideout from which to throw eggs and plan a escape route. And an alibi.

I'm not sure if that would be safe with today's youth. They have access to firearms. They don't believe in a fair one on one fight. They like to have a group on their side vs one person on the other end. They have no respect for nobody, not themselves, not their parents, not their teachers, and not the authority figures, etc...

Thanking the Lord that I have no kids.......:D

Wow, talk about overkill. :(

You'd think a 14 year old would of grown past the stage of throwing things at cars.

Oh, great. Fight vandalism with assault. Just like the cops.Yeah, seriously. It's bad enough I need to worry about beat-downs from the five-oh after tagging municipal buildings, I don't need bitch-ass herb-busta punks after me too.

There's nothing humourous about wasting food, besmirching other people's property, endangering traffic or murder/manslaughter. So I'm not sure where a "sense of humour" is suppose to apply in this case.

Good for the 14 year old boy. Hopefully his death will serve as a warning to other kids not to vadalize or assault random people. Those people might not think its quite as funny.

Also, if you think having a projectile fly at high speeds towards, and then explode in front of your face is harmless fun, I dont think you have experienced it. It IS something that could very realistically cause an accident.

If you're that afraid of eggs, I think you should just give up on life.

If you can tell what a small projectile is that is headed for your head at over 35 miles per hour (assuming you are on a slow sidestreet), and be able to identify it before it hits the windshield...then wow.

My friend almost killed himself when he plowed through an intersection after he thought he was being shot at when some kids threw shit that exploded against his car. There are many places where upon hearing certain noises, you assume its a gunshot and not some cheeky little kids playing pranks in the middle of the night (like East. St. Louis, look it up if you want.)

If you're that afraid of eggs, I think you should just give up on life.They don't know it's an egg when it's flying at them at 35 miles per hour (assuming that's about the speed they're driving at).
They don't get a warning 5 minutes ahead of time. So the only cue they get is something hitting their windscreen; possibly them, if they're in a convertible and there's good/bad aim. And after the object, confusion is the second thing to hit. Confusion+driving=accident waiting to happen.

Harsh, but good for the gene pool.

The real shame here is that the other two kids got away. Their actions could have killed several people, and just because everyone involved was lucky enough that the kids were shot at first doesn't reduce the wrongness of their actions.

I dunno... think about it, the SUV was probably recently washed and to get a free car wash, do you realize how much gas they needed to buy? so ok, the driver shells out his kids college fund to fuel up his SUV and gets a nice, clean wash and wax job with it. so he's driving home when some teen punk, (rich one to be throwing eggs away) eggs his newly washed and waxed ride. I'd be pissed too. :p

diabollical
guns don't kill people idiots do. yeh, nice one. now try comparing your chances running from a psychotic with a baseball bat to running from a psychotic with a gun.

I would've beat the shit out of him.
That's the problem with this world; Too many killings and not enough beatings.

*hands you a taco*

Ahh LG, you never fail to brighten up my life with your kindness. You are my Sunshine.
