I'll give $10,000 to catch rock thrower

The Advertiser:

I'll give $10,000 to catch rock thrower
: "'I look at that photo, it could be me, it could be you, my daughter or son. I desperately want to see this bastard caught,' he said.

'Money has good uses and, if money could be used to catch the person responsible, then I'd give it and my left leg to do it. It'd be the best money I've ever spent."

I love this guy. This is one decent human being and someone who also knows that money talks. Yes, we all felt for Damien and we are all in awe of his courage. He has not only been lucky, he is a huge inspiration. As soon as you feel weak and pathetic , you think of Damien and you shut up and slap on a happy face. But what happened to Damien is another one of those callous acts. Who cares who hurts whom these days? Our world is amoral because anything goes. But that this pensioner is prepared to offer his own money to try and get the rock thrower is just so fantastic and a tribute to Damien's gutsiness. We are all surprised no one has dobbed in the rock thrower. Someone knows. It is hard to identify him at the time because of the spots picked and the time of day. I am still thinking it's hard to drive around with a massive rock which you hurl with one hand and keep driving with the other. Some one knows.
