Maybe if I saw what the "pink and white marshmallow sweets" were really like, I would get the idea... I get a picture of, like tossing gumdrops; wheee?

Somewhere around the time of the Oregon incident that Ebbie mentioned, someone in the detroit area dropped a cement block through a grade school teachers windshield. She went through years of reconstructive surgery, only to get infection after one operation and die.

I can imagine myself, as a fool kid, tossing something like puffballs at cars. A kid who would never think of throwing something like a rock would do it, never thinking through the risk of startling a driver into an accident. God, where would you go from there? On one hand, how could you just let the kid off with little or no consequences? on the other, how could you treat him the same as an animal who heaved an obviously deadly object?

How did we get from fun eating mushrooms to this grim stuff?
