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

[Herbert The Love Bug]

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.

I'm fine with the reaction right up until the machete... tough to explain away if the cops showed up for some reason.

If they were kids the best way to troll them would be to just tell their parents.If they were teenagers I would jump out of the truck, go Super Saiyan 3, and try not to kill them.

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.

If you were in Florida I can almost guarantee you could have shot them without fear of repercussions.

Maybe not jail time but you know whos name is forever ruined because he didn't understand how this country works in the PC era.

George Zimmerman?

[Chimera]

So they outran your truck? Call up the IOC

[Kitten Diver]

George Zimmerman?

Yep. Court of law kept him out of jail based on facts. Court of opinion ruined his name based on ratings. In the current system its much easier to just pay your insurance and move on that's why we have it.

Yea that poor George Zimmerman and his ruined name.  If only it wasn't so much trouble murdering teenagers in this PC day and age.
