Five teenage (15-17 years old) boys were charged with murder Monday after a man was killed when a massive rock was thrown from a Michigan overpass last week.
I vaguely remembered this, but it took me a little while to find it.

EAU CLAIRE (AP) - A Minnesota man died early Monday when a 35-pound rock dropped from an Interstate 94 overpass crashed through his windshield while his wife and two teen-age children slept in the car, police said.
And anyone who thinks that this instance from 26 years ago was the first time this happened is pretty gullible. But, sure, anything to whine about the 'current generation'.

It happened to us in Hayward, California about 15 years ago. They aimed a rock at a load we had on the back of the truck, which was destroyed. I think it happens in all states.
This happened to my parents more than 30 years ago. They noticed a few kids on a highway overpass and then saw a large object land on their car. They were lucky, the windshield shattered but they weren't injured. It scared the crap out of them though and ruined their vacation. By the time the police showed up, the perpetrators were long gone.
Kids do stupid things and I'm no exception. Not that anyone has used it but I'm not buying "boys will be boys". They knew exactly what they were doing and what could happen. 20 rocks? Sorry, no sympathy for them. Their lives are over and they deserve it.
