TeenPrank Turns Deadly
Edited on Fri Jul-29-05 02:32 AM by ls317
Hoping to curtail a wave of late-night violence that has claimed the lives of several Indianapolis teens, police will begin aggressively enforcing the city's curfew.

Most recently, two teens were shot, one fatally, on Sunday night by a motorist angered when eggs struck his pickup truck.

1. Unreal..
not the curfew, that doesn't suprise me.. it's this quote:
"A pickup driver, apparently angry at being hit by an egg, left the scene and then returned, hunting the teens until he found them and began shooting." So the guy gets his car egged and comes back and hunts them down and shoots them. Fucking psycho..

3. perhaps an investigation into why there is so much unrest is needed
There are reasons why these things happen, and they aren't "lack of curfews."

4. A dangerous prank. When I got hit a few weeks ago, I couldn't see shit...

until the washer was activated. Pretty damm dangerous when you're coming off the freeway at night.

--"You can wash away an egg, and have the car shiny and pretty.--

Eggs will leave a permanent explosion type pattern on your paint.

Edit: Oh ya, instead of doing what that psycho did, I called the police, but they scattered like roaches.

5. Oh. my!
Your car's paint might have been hurt! Such a tragedy. You had to activate the window washers? How horrible! Will you seek counseling? I'm sure killing kids is understandable to someone like you who, although a moderate who calls the cops, values your car so highly. Jeez, get a clue. Kids are not really fully mature (duh!), but you have no excuse for aligning yourself with the murderer.

7. All The Widdle darlings Were Doing Was Trying to Cause An Accident!
We should cut them some slack, because they were just children! They shouldn't be punished for anything, ever!

I wouldn't shoot the brats either, but I sure understand the feeling. Throwing anything at a moving vehicle is dangerous and can cause a serious accident. I don't like anyone puttng me in danger, even if it is just a chiiiiiiild.

8. Only egg parked cars
Kids should be tought to egg only parked cars, with W stickers on them. And if a window is open, go for the three point shot.
Just about everyone behind the wheel is a potential psycho. Sad story.

9. Should we align ourselves with the malicious vandals
Whose idea of fun is trying to cause an accident?

That poor child who died needs to be nominated for the Darwin Awards.

Had the eggs caused the driver to drive into danger, like a tree, oncoming traffic, that kind of thing...would you also have excused the ensuing accident because the kids just weren't "fully mature"?

I hope this story is repeated everywhere. Two teenagers raised without a concept of consequences, found some.
