Stones hurled at M3 drivers

Stones hurled at M3 drivers Stones hurled at M3 drivers

POLICE have described the actions of youngsters who threw stones at motorists on a Hampshire motorway as “clear stupidity”.

Schoolchildren were seen throwing objects from a bridge that runs over the M3 linking Chandler’s Ford and Boyatt Wood. The driver called police, who were deployed to the scene on Monday evening, but the youngsters had gone.

As a result officers have been visiting schools in the area to warn youngsters about the dangers of throwing objects at cars.

Sgt Chris Spellerberg, from Eastleigh police, said: “This is clear stupidity. The consequences could easily have been serious injury or worse.”

If caught these non lifes should be charged with attempted murder! If I caught them they'd be dead soon enough anyway!

Presumably we'd have to do the same thing to those throwing the scrotes onto the m-way. And then the same thing to THOSE guys, and so on. This would eventually lead to the extinction of the human race. I like this plan.

Here's a good tip, Echo staff.

When presented with a dead easy, straight to print article like this, use a bit of professional integrity and question it.

Ask the Police, who after all patrol the motorway regularly, just HOW LONG after the initial report they actually condescended to visit the scene. Schoolchildren top speed=6mph, Police patrol cars top speed=120mph. Do the maths.

Police too busy dancing like idiots and trying to be their friends no doubt...

Catch em and give them a good clout. Make them fear you.

Wouldn't work.
Eventually there would be so many bodies on the Motorway that the cars wouldn't be going anywhere, thus lessening the severity of the initial offence.

I doubt that those two brilliant Totton officers would be working on the M3. Unfortunately on my frequent journeys on the M3 I rarely see a plod before I get to Kent on the M26. We do need the very visible policing I see in the Medway Towns and I do wonder how they do it, if we can't.

A quick question, what is your offspring up to at the moment? Do you actually know or care?

Which one of the 19? Only thing I know is that none of them are stupid enough to throw stones at cars on motorways or elsewhere. They've all been dragged up proper.

You are a person to be admired, a credit to Society, well done on your fecundity, and keeping the flock in hand.

"As a result officers have been visiting schools in the area to warn youngsters about the dangers of throwing objects at cars"

.... and no doubt telling them this is "stupidity", or even "anti-social behaviour"! Well it's actually, as stated earlier in these comments - "attempted murder" - and it's time it was treated as such!
