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.

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By electro's horse · Posted

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
