Killed after finishing a hard day at work. Rest In Peace Kenneth

"He feels devastated"?!? They went to MacDonald's afterward!!! They are only devastated because they got caught!!!

[Horst]

3 years for the death of another human?! No. This is a bad joke.

[TheEvilWithinKevin]

The kid who threw the rock is already out. That's crazy.

[HunterMalloy]

You can’t defend them when they threw a 20 pound rock at moving traffic

[giannipuface]

At 15 I was an idiot... still knew the potential consequences of throwing rocks from an overpass

[valeriemoran]

This is just heartbreaking. A man dead, family shattered and 4 kids growing up without a father all because of these thoughtless, evil kids. 15 is old enough to know better. All should be charged as adults, not just the 17 year old

[TPH]

Just read that the one who threw the rock that killed him was released from prison after 39 months. What a disgrace.

I thought maybe they were just throwing rocks off a cliff and accidentally hit someone, but nah they were chucking boulders at cars on purpose! What freaks

[noahgarcia]

“Throwing Rocks” is a bad description of hurling a 6 pound cement block off a 20+ foot overpass

[peternolan]

Defense attorney, "There is a public perception that these kids are bad." Why that's just astounding! How could the public come to that conclusion.

[ToucanPlayIt]

At the age of 4, I still had enough common sense to NOT throw rocks at cars! They knew what they were doing, and they all should've been charged as adults.

[thumpertorque_]

Seeing that poor elderly man cry for his son was hard.

[nyox]

WTF is even a prank throwing 20 pound rocks onto cars with people inside

[ilzglzk]

Such ignorant behavior.
Maximum punishments should be charged

[thefannclanspreadinggodshe]

My husband is 32. I can’t imagine losing him to such a senseless act. It’s a sad day when teenagers have such a lack of respect for others that they would find entertainment in acting out in ways so dangerous and thoughtless! Prayers for the victims family ♥️

[moistkookie]

and people say "they're just teenagers." I'm 15 and know not to do that.

[tulipmars]

i hate people who disregard the safety of other people.

[gingerking]

This has happened often throughout the years. Back in the early '90's a kid standing on an overpass threw a rock and hit my mother's windshield. Broke it. She was unhurt but a few days before a young girl was killed when that happened to her. This is not a game. It's deadly.

Its all fun and prank, until 4 childrens must grow up without their father..
