Yolk Rage

A little tip to the newshounds out there: any headline that says "harmless" and/or "prank" is for a story that involves "death" and/or "jail."

For example, a (Multiracial! Could they be more adorable?) group of sweet, innocent Indiana teens went out egging cars last weekend, and good fun was had by all. How wonderful is egging cars? Gee whiz, it takes me back to my own childhood, when throwing eggs was right up there with getting to lick grandma's butter churn. Fun and, of course, harm-free.

However, in a result that shocked no one except for the kids and their families, one motorist took exception to the egging and got of out his car to yell "profanities." According to the boys (who, I remind you, are sweet and innocent), this confrontation made them reconsider their actions, and they immediately stopped throwing eggs. Unfortunately, the guy was unmoved and shot two of them when he came upon them later, (innocently) walking along the street. One of the boys was wounded in the leg, while the other was hit in the back and ultimately bled to death. Sort of a high price to pay for a dozen or so eggs.

Still, though. Parents, I know it sucks unbelievably to lose your kids. So tell them NOT TO THROW THINGS AT MOTORISTS! Actually, it might be best for all of us if nobody under 18 ever goes outside again. Kids? It's video games and tv for the next decade. Oh, like you're really upset. Please.
