Well grown adults threw steel balls at it, shot arrows, sledge hammers, baseballs, guess a rock was soon to happen…at least it wasn’t bullets?!
It sounds like you didn't follow the story very well.

The same kids were apparently throwing rocks at a Honda too. Maybe they only throw rocks at brands that end with an "a"? LOL!

Throwing rocks at cars is a thing that happens, usually doesn't do any damage, but occasionally people are hurt.

This last week, there was a motorcyclist crash and death due to thrown rocks near Los Angeles. The wonders of the internet we get to hear about this stuff, but...

Probably 20 years ago, I was driving home in the evening from visiting my father. Somebody threw sheets of glass at the car. Hit the passenger windows and doors. Turned out to be a couple kids. Young teenagers flinging a stack of window panes like frisbees at cars. My wife and kids were on the passenger side of the car(Jeep Cherokee). Didnt break the jeep’s windows. Got to court and slap on the wrist for probation deal.

Moments after my wife saw and waved at another Cybertruck (so rare, and fun to see!), a teenager on the side of the road picked up a rock and threw it at our Cybertruck. Thankfully, the windows were up and it hit the steel, zero damage of course... but my wife was understandably upset by it.

She called me on the way home to ask what to do, and I suggested she just come home and then we call the non-emergency police line. We told the police what happened and that we had security footage and they came by to check it out. That, of course, turned into a little demo of the truck and using the sentry robo-voice to say "step away from the car". They were excited to see the truck. :D The cops were pretty sure they knew the kids, and they also said they got a similar call earlier of another thrown-rock-at-car incident, very likely same kids. We asked if it was another Cybertruck, and they said it wasn't. It was a Honda.

So the police are going to use the video and have a strong word with the kids parents and hopefully set them straight? We're otherwise done with the incident, dumb kids doing dumb dangerous things. I think this is a form of long term karma for when I was a dumb kid and I thought it was a good idea to throw pebbles at a passing truck and instantly regretted it. THAT guy was SUPER pissed, but I was never caught. My best guess is that these kids are probably his grandchildren and this was his sweet, obsessively planned, 30-years-later revenge.

Anyway.

Anyone have anything like this happen? We've otherwise gotten 2 middle fingers from cranky twits, a thumbs down, and a couple of heads shaking 'no', which is "whatever". The other 99% of reactions are people in various forms of excitement, jumping, cheering, thumbs up, nodding, recording with their phones, craning heads, jaw drops, fully twisted bodies, etc.

Happy Friday all!
I cannot speak for everyone but I did my fair share of stupid kid things when I was growing up, some of which I was caught for. I regret all that stuff now, but I do not think kids will stop doing stupid things; it is part of growing up I guess.

Stop, pick up the rock and throw it at the kid.

I am sure such a gifted child will only graduate to guns...after college, of course.
