I did some pretty stupid stuff as a teenage boy, however, I never threw rocks at moving vehicles. We knew where to draw the line. I threw rocks through garage windows, snowballs at moving cars and blew up a mailbox with a M-80.
What cured me from doing this, however, was the night my buddy and I pelted a moving car with eggs. As the eggs hit their target, and we started laughing, the brakes squealed and the vehicle came to a stop. The car turned and came barreling in our direction. We scattered and I lay still under a willow tree at the end of a cul-de-sac.
The two guys had their windows down and were yelling, 'if we see you, we're killing you". Talk about shitting your pants. Somehow, they didn't see either of us, and we made it back to his house. I determined that I didn't need to do that anymore.
Kids today have just taken it to the next level, and people die. It's scary. But, even the most normal of boys will have the desire to do things like this.
