Overreaction? Yes. This kid will definitely think twice about chucking rocks at cars from now on though. | ||

If you had reading comprehension past a 2 year old level you might be able to see I am pointing out that his parenting led to his current hospitalisation and perhaps if people taught their children respect for other people and their property, crime would be non existent. Unfortunately there are many bad parents so I guess its ok for kids to act like a delinquent and then for you to get upset when they suffer for their delinquency. Just remember next time you want to throw rocks... someone might have a crossbow or worse... a GUN. Tell your kids!!! i disagree that his parents are solely to blame or that he deserved to be shot therefore i am a troll and a 2 year old. | ||

Imagine the headline for that story! LOL On August 31 2011 12:21 Nothingtosay wrote: What the fuck teamliquid? Do you not realize how easily that kid could have been killed if the shot was off by a little? You guys really think that shooting a deadly weapon at someone because they threw a rock at a car is ok? Really; the fuck guys.... Sorry, but we've got to stick to our "right-winger" mentality... I've got to admit i found this rather amusing. I used to do this kind of punk ass shit when i was that age and never really suffered any direct consequences for it. Ironically at my current age i've been a mechanic for quite some time and an avid car enthusiast knowing now of the love, cost, and necessity of a car and having to repair it. So while i do view the retaliation as quite over the top, in the end everyone is fine so there is no tragedy. | ||

I vaguely remember a case in Hungary where some kids were throwing rocks at a train, killing a passenger. Considering this is the United States, it might fit the definition of self defense. Guess what the cops reaction would have been. they wouldn't have shot the kid in the chest lol | ||

I've clearly stated three times now that shooting him with a crossbow was a bit far but the kid definitely deserved to be punished. Get off my nuts. And as for your examples of endangering other's lives: I've never sped, I don't smoke and I stay at home when I have the flu so more examples please. Quit making shitty posts in this thread that just encourage people to call you an idiot. Seriously if you don't want to have people on your nuts then stop egging people on.  | ||

You all just think it's funny because you don't connote a crossbow with dramatic death like you do a gun. | ||

EDIT: You all just think it's funny because you don't connote a crossbow with dramatic death like you do a gun that's actually probably it. i can't imagine you guys all being some kind of twisted fucks, you probably just think it's funny in your head cuz your concept of crossbows come from movies and video games and you don't realize that crossbows are basically primitive guns. it wouldn't be funny to anyone if the title was "boy throws rock at car, passenger shoots him" | ||

I have watched deer take one through the heart/lungs and be dead before their legs even gave out, and I can tell you that what the guy in the car did was just as bad as any attempted murder with a firearm. If that bolt had landed six inches higher the kid would be IN THE GROUND right now. You all just think it's funny because you don't connote a crossbow with dramatic death like you do a gun. no some people actually think the best way to have a society is to let people learn right/wrong by being beaten severely or injured/kill when they make mistakes i'm sure if it was a gun there would be quite a few people saying the same thing "his parents should have taught him better" "well he won't be throwing rocks ever again, he learned his lesson" | ||

Just remember next time you want to throw rocks... someone might have a crossbow or worse... a GUN. Tell your kids!!! Why are you being condescending? No amount of damage is the equivalent of hurting a child, despite the age. Believe it or not, kids know right from wrong, they just can't measure the severity. Throwing rocks at cars seems minor, it won't break the car and if the rocks were small, they wouldn't do any major damage. Do you think a child, who can't drive nor know the costs of cars or the ideas of scratching or denting is aware that rocks at cars causes severe monetary damage? Be realistic. A child's comprehension is not the equivalent of our's. The idea of "knowing right from wrong" is a broad generalization which you never refine on the finer points such as severity and depth of one's "wrongness". It's not bad parenting, it's just a lack of grasping the situation. You can't blame bad parenting all the time. Especially when the person overreacted. Just because the legitimate ways of reporting an incident or teaching a child what he is doing is wrong/discouraging isn't as strong or extensively treated to your standard doesn't mean going to the extreme is suddenly acceptable or the norm. | ||

Poor kid though, his parents probably never taught him right. The child was terrorizing him... He had to protect himself with some use of force... It's very much possible for someone to cause sufficient damage to the driver, resulting in a big car accident... "We cannot stand by and do nothing while dangers gather. " "As a matter of common sense and self-defense, will act against such emerging threats before they are fully formed."

As long as you inform your children of the potential consequences of throwing rocks and do your utmost to ensure they never do then you aren't a troll. You are right though... the kid is also to blame for his actions. 50/50 | ||

How about getting hit in the head with a rock while you're driving 40mph? | ||
