I used to have one of those "toy" crossbows that shot a 6" dart. It's amazing how accurate those things are - I could consistently hit a silver-dollar sized target at about 20 yards. My kids had adjusted the sights on it - I shot at a pigeon to scare it away from the duck food, and the dart went dead center through the pigeon's breast and pinned it to the ground. (It flapped its wings, and suddenly freed itself and flew away, leaving me completely amazed.)

as someone already said, that's some amazingly quick reaction time for the passenger to reach for the crossbow, insert arrow, cock the bow, roll down the window, aim, and shoot.

Was he throwing the rocks from a bridge or something? So the driver turned around and came back?

I can picture this kid whining to his mommy, like Cartman. Pity the bolt didnt skewer his dick. That would have been epic.

Screw jail, the kid and his friend should be strung up and then stoned by the community.

It's a good thing the crossbow shooter didn't leave anything that could be traced back to h,... wait a minute.

Serves the kid right. What he did could have caused either a crash or a death of a person in the car.
