What Would You Do If Hoodlums threw rocks at your Car While You Were Driving?

So tonight I was with my girl and driving home. I come around a curve and there are 4 kids standing in the middle of the road and they started launching rocks at my truck as hard as they could. I was fuming. I turned my truck around and drove up to them as fast as I could. They took off through a field and I chased them through the field with my truck. I got out and chased them with my machete. I was mad but I had no intentions on hurting them. I just wanted to scare them to keep them from doing it anymore. My girl was beyond pissed and called me immature. I have always been taught to stick up for myself and I wasn't about to let them get away with it. How should I have handled the situation?

Well considering I drive a corvette and body damage to corvette is hella expensive...

Someone would have ended up in the hospital.

I guess it depends how you react to things like that and what you value. I have a few friends that probably couldn't care less and would probably get out and throw rocks at the car with them.

I personally have little-man syndrome and my car is my prized possession because of all the modifications I've made to it... Due to that I would have probably reacted the same way you did, just without the machete lol.

There isn't much you can do.

 

Society protects underage people from facing any justice. Also parents aren't usually held responsible for the actions of their children.

 

At best you could've made a citizen's arrest, had cops contact the parents and then pressed charges for damaging your vehicle. That series of events probably wouldn't have been worth your time.

Pull my 40 cal and scare the poo out of them. But after that just let it go..$200 to my car insurance company isn't worth going to jail over.

Also if the thugs were of a different race than me(meaning they are black/mexican) I would have drove on. No reason to be on national news over some rocks IMO.

    • It’s wild to me that so many of you guys are threatened by the idea of an opposing team fan who is polite in 2025. He’s been posting here on and off for years, usually when our teams play each other which hasn’t been for a while. I’d maybe understand this treatment if it was a falcons or saints fan, but packers fans in general are one of the nicer fan bases as long as you aren’t another NFC north team (especially the bears).   
    • Some players excel on the big stage, while others freeze and succumb to the pressure. I’m not convinced Cam took a dive. I think he didn’t handle the stage very well. The pressure got to him and he folded. He wouldn’t be the first quarterback or player to struggle in a Super Bowl. Two HOF examples - John Elway and Jim Kelly. The 2002 MVP, Rich Gannon, threw 5 interceptions against the Bucs. Poor performances happen.  Unless of course you believe all these players threw the games they played in, but if that occurred, surely someone by now would have admitted taking a dive? 🤷‍♂️
    • It was always a matter of time with Cam’s playing style and a shorter shelf life than passers that protect themselves. I suppose Cam could have still been playing in 2028 ten years after the hit took place, but he would need to have evolved as a quarterback and become more of a passer than the dual threat maestro he was. It’s sad because it makes us think of what could have been, but I do feel it was always a matter of time until all the hits took their toll.
