how many "kids" have thrown a brick of a motorway bridge at a "car" not realising someone might be inside.

It sounds like you are trying to justify it by saying that other people commit wrongs so it's ok for him to?
A 'kid' throwing a brick off a motorway bridge should get a bloody good hiding off their dad (if they aren't a blank) and then go to jail. For them to say they didn't realise someone might be inside is bloody ridiculous - I've never seen a car drive itself down the motorway.
Previous convictions matter not when it comes to something as serious as this.
People need to accept personal responsibility in this country.
I have read all this, and was'nt going to add any comment. I feel now, that some is warranted.
My tuppence worth is:
As a man who hunts, shoots, fishes, and regularly eats what he catches/shoots I adhere to the one maxim my gunnery instructor told me many years ago.
"If you MUST kill an animal for food, you must ensure it neither suffers in any way, nor knows that its imminent death is about to happen. You should be swift, humane, and have total respect for the beautiful animal that has given up its life so that you can survive, and celebrate its death with the utmost reverence"
ANYTHING that allows an animal to slowly die, or suffer pain in any way, or even know it is about to die is barbarous, cruel, and whatever the credo or religon that requests the manner of death is morally wrong.
This is only my opinion, and feel free to criticise in any way, but I believe that we DEFINATELY should know if an animal has suffered in its death, we then have the informed CHOICE whether we buy the meat or not.
Thankyou for understanding.
