San Diego police say a boy throwing rocks at vehicles was struck in the abdomen by a crossbow bolt fired by a passenger in small sport utility vehicle.

More from the link above.

I kind of don't know what to say from this. On one hand, I was kind of amused, and on the other I was wondering whether or not it was okay. But I'm not here to start any of that. I just thought it was an interesting story that I'd just share with you guys.

I just want to know if the car was moving or not. If it was moving that was a sick shot. Nice to know the injury is not life-threatening. Lesson learned I'm sure.

The kid learned about karma in a very hard way.

i never thought that a crossbow would be the desired method of driveby (unless you are riding on a horse in medieval times)

at least his injuries weren't lethal

Am I a bad person for laughing pretty hard at this story?

I mean sure, shooting someone with a potentially lethal weapon when they throw rocks at your car is an overreaction. But at the same time, I love to see little shits get what is coming to them.

The real question is why did the man in the car have a crossbow on him?

While kids shouldn't throw rocks at cars, shooting a child with a lethal weapon is pretty goddamn unforgivable imo.

I think we found Tyrion.

Seriously though, I do hope they find the driver. And it's quite sickening to see people who think that the proper response to rocks thrown at a car... is the use of deadly force.

ive often wanted to take a crossbow to children to, they can be brats sometimes. Ive always had the self control not to but i can see why someone would. All in all he shouldn't of shot a kid though.
