I throw the first 10 rocks.

(seriously, don't throw rocks at cars and you won't get shot with crossbows)

Bullshit. The occupants of the suv were obviously never in any danger if they were able to identify and shoot the kid with a cross bow. If the kid was dropping large rocks off an overpass at cars on the freeway, yes, that could kill someone. Throwing rocks at a passing car in a residential area? Not deadly.

Oh, so you were there? Did you see the kid throwing the rock? What diameter was the rock? what velocity was it thrown at? Was the window open, could the driver have been hit in the head? Might he have hit the windshield and send spiderweb cracks through it making it impossible to see and ending up in oncoming traffic?

Throwing rocks = very deadly.

Throwing a rock from a vehicle moving at a high speed at another vehicle moving at high speed is deadly. Throwing a rock from a stationary position at a slow moving vehicle is very unlikely to be deadly.

Size of rock, speed of target and/or rock, and where it impacts is what makes it deadly.

The fact that nobody in the car was injured makes it unjustifiable to use deadly force toward the attacker IMO.

Someone throwing something at your car doesn't give you the right to kill them.

I wonder how they would feel if the crossbow shooter turned out to be a Mexican? Or a woman. Or a black woman.

I wonder how I'd feel if Macamus Prime had a rock hit his windshield, shatter it so he couldn't see, and was killed as his car slammed into a tree.

I'd probably celebrate.

No, you grab the kid and hold him for Police. Now the dumbfuck with the crossbow is being sought for attempted murder...and rightfully so.

Haha, yeah right. Jules is gonna bust out his mad martial arts skillz and subdue a couple of teenagers who were throwing rocks at his cars.

the crossbow didn't kill the kid so it wasn't deadly. isn't that your logic?

anyway, I'm not gonna change your opinion and you're not gonna change mine, so peace out thread.

rocks are deadly, and i posted a number of different links to that effect.

I like how he is allowed to continue to post here, even though half his posts are pure race-baiting.

That's the hilarious part

Now that I agree with you on. :thumbsup:😀
 
Hmm, seems there is more to this story...turns out the SUV may not have been hit by rocks at all. Turns out the SUV followed the boys on a bus and that's when the passenger of the suv shot one of the boys with a crossbow.

SAN DIEGO -- A 16-year-old boy who police said was throwing rocks at several vehicles was recovering Tuesday after being shot with a crossbow fired by someone inside a small sport utility vehicle, San Diego police reported.


The victim and another boy were throwing rocks at vehicles about 2:15 p.m. Monday in the vicinity of Linda Vista and Mesa College roads, police said.


"That's where we're sorting out the stories," said SDPD Det. Gary Hassen. "One story says they were throwing rocks on Linda Vista Road. Another story says they were throwing rocks at another location."

Hassen said the boys got on a bus, and when they got off the bus, two young men in a black Toyota RAV 4 drove up. Someone in the SUV fired a crossbow, and an arrow hit one of the boys in the abdomen. He was treated at the hospital and is now at home, 10News reported.


Police don't know yet if the Toyota had been hit by rocks. The two teenagers in it, described as 16- to 17-year-old Latinos, got away and were last seen heading south on Linda Vista Road.


Bob Fromme of Performance Archery in San Diego said crossbows can do considerable damage.


"It's not a self-defense weapon," he said. "It's a recreational-type weapon. Sometimes people do things they're not supposed to. They get hit with baseball bats and maybe stabbed with steak knives. But that's not what this was designed for."


Police don't know what type of crossbow was used, but Fromme told 10News they can fire an arrow at more than 350 feet per second and hit a 4- to 6-inch circle from 60 yards away.


As for people getting shot with crossbows, Hassen said, "I've been doing this for well over 20 years, and this is the only the second time I've ever seen anybody shot with a crossbow. It's very unusual."


Fromme agreed, and added, "Archery's not meant to be shooting people."


The name of the boy who was shot is not being released.

Since you get so emotional - and you can't seem to control yourself from reading my posts - how about you place me on your ignore list?
 
BoberFett said:
Yeah right. What makes you think he isn't to hit you in the face with a rock as you approach him?

I forgot, your mad ninja skillz.

And yet - every jerk off came out to publically wet themselves about how great it is to harm and kill someone; that someone may have not done anything at all.
