Hi Hairy,..... Your probably in a more vunerable area than us , and not being critical here, But the thing is !!, GOLD, BRONZE, BLACK, WHITE, Youth is creating the same probs from state to state~!!.

It's not manslaughter because that would imply it was accidental. It can only be described as premeditated/planned attempted murder. How many rocks do you see 'lying around' one the top of overpasses? None. For someone to be able to throw a rock from an overpass, they have to have picked it up someplace and carried it up there - you can't tell me that's not planned.

You’re right; one of the bases of the charge of murder does rest with intent.

The definition of murder in most states is the common law definition; the unlawful killing of a person where there is an intent to kill or to inflict serious injury or grievous bodily harm.

This has to be proven by the Crown beyond all reasonable doubt for a charge of murder to stick

All the defence has to raise the defence that the person charged had no formed intent to kill or harm someone in dropping the rock… then it becomes manslaughter (or possibly a lesser charge).

I’m wondering why there is all the fuss about this whole thread is about…if the object thrown was cardboard or paper; the only offence committed is littering.

Lock up some kids for littering? Haul the Federal Government back to start sitting to ban kids littering?

I know that actions such as this at night is fraught with danger as the immediate response is to swerve, and possibly losie control

Perhaps the better approach would have been to call the local cops or even 000 and report it. Again, there is no need for the cops to charge them, just give them a bit of a chat and explain the consequences of their actions… the

Nargun 51,

I hope that you are not serious with your comments.

Dropkicks dropping ROCKS, not pebbles, from an overpass footbridge know exactly what they are doing and unless they are totally devoid of any brain they know what is likely to happen.

The stuff being chucked at cars and buses in WA is definitely NOT pebbles, it's the size of housebricks and there are too many little, and not so little, dropkicks doing it.

Do you really think that a "bit of a chat" will have any effect on them, a good boot up the khyber might have some effect, but a bit of a chat.................I don't think so.

By the time you, as the driver, have got over the shock of your screen bleep tering before your eyes, avoided any nearby object, stopped your vehicle, checked that you are still in one piece with no injuries and looked for the offenders, do you really think that ringing the police would help catch the little sods. They would be long gone.

Just my point of view and opinion.

Disco.
