Either one being fired at a car can scare the **** out of an unexpecting driver, since they're not something you're supposed to be shooting at strangers at random. If both these kids had been killed, I'd still have no pity for them. The only person in the whole thing that I'm sympathetic to is the poor 17 year old girl who for the rest of her life will have to live with the fact she ran over someone. At the age of 12 any human should know better than to be shooting explosives at people and they should know better than to run into traffic. Dave |

And if you notice I never claimed they weren't. But death is not the penalty for malicious mischief, especially for juvies. Floyd |

Try assault with a deadly weapon. And the guys in the car didnt intend to kill the punks. |

The victims of the bottlerocket attack did not kill him - his own stupidity did. Remember, he RAN out into traffic - he was not PUSHED out. |

It was a consequence of the boy running out to the road in response to being chased -- which itself was a consequence of him firing the bottle rockets. -- There's no such thing as a free lunch, but certain accounting practices can result in a fully-depreciated one. |
