Preamble
This poem comes from a letter which appeared in our local paper
Rock Throwers
We've got kids here who are throwing rocks down
On cars as they go and pass under
And when they get caught, we think and reflect
What sentence they'll get, yes we wonder
Don't worry, we've got it worked out
They'll diagnose mental disorder
Which of course must be taken into account when it comes
To sentencing them with a court order

Don - if you prick me, do I not bleed?

I think you would qualify for mental disordership with all the things you throw around the site
Don ?

Keith - A brickbat is a disparaging remark. An example of this would be "Keith get yourself a new dictionary!"
Brian, What is a brickbat? Sorry, I have just this minute looked this up in my dictionary. I never would have thought this possible of you. I imagine you to be a pillar of society.

Don I used to throw rocks but I've progressed to brickbats.
Don,
A brief poem which reflects today´s society. It certainly happens in the UK. I once recall being on a train when it stopped outside a station so that a supermarket trolley could be removed from the tracks. Some half baked lout had thrown it over the bridge. Apparently large chunks of concrete are also used as they easily smash windscreens and kill the driver and occupants. A suspended sentence perhaps?
Thank you for this
Keith

This blog took me straight back to the time when Welsh miners were in action against perceived blacklegs and some
set out one early morning to a bridge over a motorway from which they pitched a lump of concrete on to a hire car
carrying workers, killing the driver.
They were given a derisory sentence for manslaughter
(which ,we should remember carried a maximum life term)
for their clearly planned (e.g. premeditated!) attack, which
seemed to reflect official policy not to exacerbate the
industrial unrest and its political/social relevance.
