Police act on rock attack cowards

Police act on rock attack cowards :

"As the State Government yesterday offered a $50,000 reward for information leading to the capture of rock-throwers, police began special southern-suburbs patrols timed to run until the end of school holidays on October 16."

Finally! We didn't know what to do and I guess we thought it would go away because some things are transitory. But enough is enough and if this really is kids, then they have rocks in their heads and they are alarmingly anti social and I'd go so far as to say amoral because no one in their right mind would throw rocks at a bus or drivers. I sort of understand, but don't condone the dropping of things off a bridge. It is the sort of things kids will do without thinking of the cars beneath. Kids and bridges have historically had a long association, but launching attacks against buses and car drivers is premeditated and planned and these kids have cars, so they are not that young. They also have to plan getting rocks. So it is not a silly kid act. Having said that, I feel better and can now say we seem to be coming up with a great number of ideas for licking this problem. Team effort. We have to nail it. It is too cruel to allow it to continue.
