    What if you threw the culprits at the truck instead?

    Sadly this is becoming more and more common. I know there have been incidents where punks are throwing bricks or cinderblocks into oncomeing traffic off bridges. No idea why other then moron but here we are.

    95 grams of high speed delivery metal is cheaper. These people are literally trying to kill someone far as im concerned. Even if there is zero chance that a pumpkin would directly kill a driver. All that mass into a drivers face and a shattered window is a #### good way to have him lose control and likely roll over, go between an overpass, run into the tree line, hit a car or a million other things. Looking at the damage from the photos thats going to fling broken glass and #### into the dudes face. If they do it at night or the driver doesnt see it in time.....well your all drivers. How would YOU react to a face full of broken glass and pumpkin out of nowhere? Especially if it causes a lot of physical harm or gets in your eyes?

    As far as i am concerned the only diffrece between then and shooting at random motorists is the weapon of choice and this should be treated as attempted murder at a minimum and terroristic acts would be more correct as they are turning the whole truck or car into a weapon.

    Plus if the vehicle wrecks and creates a spillage that’s a hazmat situation and the perp(s) responsible may have created an even bigger situation.
