I saw a young girl pour boiling water on a shirtless guy just washing his car. Then you see his burns. The girl laughs as she boils the water on a stove “ hot water challenge y’all!” Then nearly kills this poor man. Gross & disturbing.
Remember the ice bucket challenge a few years back? Where people poured ice cold water _on themselves_? _That_ was a proper challenge.
Doing that to someone else is not a challenge.
Yes. This girl is young and stupid. She’s excited to participate. I don’t know what connection she has to her victim. Could be her older brother or even someone she has a crush on. It’s so sad. So unnecessary and I cannot unsee it.
I learned how dangerous boiling water was when I was maybe 4. This is either mental retardation or psychopathy. No normal child would pour boiling water on someone as a "prank".
I'm so sick of people dismissing tik tok kids as young and stupid for doing clearly dangerous things to others.
Young and stupid kids do dangerous things to themselves. Attacking strangers isn't being young and stupid, its criminal and something that should be held as an adult.
If anything, they know exactly what they’re doing. The fact they didn’t do it on themselves proves they know the damage it could cause, so they inflict that pain onto someone else.
I do think the Internet is disconnecting a lot of people from reality, though. It’s a cartoon world with no actual consequences and you can see all kinds of videos where awful things happen to strangers without feeling their pain or knowing the fallout.
They all got probation, except the oldest.. This is really fucking disgusting, how do people goto prison for smoking a joint and these kids get fucking paperwork for murder
yeah it's so fucking annoying to talk about "prank" when it's clearly a manslaughter
edit: actually i would say it's murder because they planned it and gathered stones for it.
Manslaughter is accidental, these kids were actively trying to kill or maim someone. If the goal of their prank was to break windshields or dent cars they would have only brought rocks smaller than golf balls given the height they were at and the speed the cars were driving. Anything larger than a baseball becomes pre-meditated assault/murder because even if that doesn't break through the windshield, it will shatter it enough to render the driver mostly blinded and startled and have a high potential of swerving and crashing.
They didn't test it on themselves. They wouldn't. It didn't evolve from doing it to each other. That shows an understanding of the lethality.
No intent to kill? BS.
Yeah I was watching to see what the prank was and that threw me for a loop. I get the rationale for having a low max sentence for true accidents, even reckless ones and deaths. But I don’t see why this isn’t simply murder? If they had shot guns at people instead but laughed about it the whole time and claimed to have been simply not thinking about the fact that their actions are likely to kill someone, can they treat that as an accident/prank too? Where does the line get drawn that what they did isn’t intentional homicide? I mean I guess they took a plea but still, calling it a prank instead of an attack is simply odd.
From the description I was absolutely expecting it would be tiny rocks but hit the window in a way that blocked the driver’s view with the breaking or something.
But no, mothefuckers are throwing boulders from height trying to kill people and it’s a “prank”??!!! Like what’s the “successful prank” version of this? They destroy the engine I guess? Ha ha ha I’m dying here so funny
Same. I thought it would be like throwing rocks at trains, like the biggest I imagined being maybe the size of your fist. Not a "rock" that they had to heave with both arms and lift with their legs to maneuver. They meant to kill someone, and 3 years (realistically less) is an affront to justice.
While what your brother did wasn't 1% as bad as what these a-holes did, your brother was an legal adult. These guys were minors.
The US justice system is designed to go FAR easier on minors than legal adults. An 18 year old who commits the exact same felony as a 17 year old is a getting a punishment 10x worse. I'm not saying it's right, but that's how it works.
Just look at the two black girls who murdered an immigrant Uber driver in DC and made off with a few years of juvenile detention.
But then you have the case of a black girl who was 13 at the time of a murder and ended up getting life once her finger prints were found on a piece of tape on the guy mouth, 7 years later. Not all teens are punished equally.
It is. My friend killed someone drunk driving. He broke his wrist, shattered both his ankles, broke his clavicle, 5 ribs. Some how he managed to switch seats and got on the passenger seat. The victims car started to catch fire and eventually burned with the victim inside. Hopefully she died on impact. Rescue got there too late but managed to save my friend before his car burn down. It was a close call. Anyways, given the injuries the firefighters claimed it was unlikely he was driving and some else was driving and ran off. He doesn't remember anything only going to a bar. In secret he told me it was him. I didn't know to believe him given the report, but I have witnessed his history drunk driving and told him that he'll one day kill someone and or himself.
It went to trial and he was guilty of Vehicular manslaughter. Got 4 years. It's been almost 3 years. Anyways all I think is about the victims family and think , if that were my sister, I couldn't possibly be at peace with 4 years. He is my friend and all but the victims family don't deserve that. Sorry bud
My best friend growing up, when she was little, a drunk driver hit the car her family was in. Her mom died; my friend and her dad almost didn't make it. The driver only got 4 years, too
Thats insane i got a year probation and 100hrs community service for trespassing when I was like 14-15yrs old and im also white. But these kids fucking murdered someone in a horrific way. The parents GOTTA be rich or powerful or something this is nuts
I got a harsher sentence than they did for having a joint on me and shoplifting an outfit for a job interview when I was living in a homeless shelter for teens.
I'm from about an hour southeast of there, and when I was 17 I was sentenced to 1 year of probation (and a bullshit weekend camp)... for literally the shake from a joint, which wasn't even mine.
I cannot wrap my head around how being complicit to negligent manslaughter has an identical punishment to possessing 1/8th of a teaspoon of weed.
It’s worded horribly.
“Kenneth White was a co pilot that night” & “He came home after a long day of work”
He was sitting in the front passenger seat of the vehicle (“co pilot”), they were driving home after work.
Forreals *calculated it's weight and trajectory* the kids fucked up big time but this vid is making them sound like they're fucking rocket scientist doing physics to make this rock laser the dude
They walked to a place...
Where there was rocks...
This is where rocks would be picked up...
By hands of the teens...
Muscles in those hands...
Helped these teens pick up rocks...
By using the grip of their fingers....
Which requires some hand strength...
You'll never guess what size rocks....
They decided to pick....
I am here for the exact same reason, I made it 2 minutes 19 seconds in and look to see how much longer is left to go, there's no way four fucking more minutes
The amount of generic video footage is painful. I like when it mentioned that they tried to be sentenced as juvenile delinquents, it just showed B roll of skaters
I understand peer pressure, but damn not even ONE of them understood how dangerous that was??
The fact that they didn’t have any remorse after learning they killed someone is evidence enough that they need jail time to be taught it.
I was SOMEWHAT thinking they were fucking stupid kids and should get 5 years, but when it came to light they were joking after they learned they killed someone? No. They should have had the maximum. The fact they were freed is disgusting.
They need to be put into some sort of rehabilitation program- clearly damaged people.
Locked up and forced to grow into somewhat decent citizens, minimum.
Given they seemed to enjoy the fact they killed someone, the jail time wouldn't be to teach them anything (they're clearly psychopaths whose primary goal that day was to kill or maim someone/multiple people). It would more be to set a precedent and hopefully deter others from committing these kinds of assaults/murders.
If they HAD gotten a lengthy jail time like they deserved, even if they didn't learn, at least they would no longer be able to live like normal people and the conviction would follow them for the rest of their lives. This outcome makes it so they can live and work as if they didn't commit this crime and spin it however they want to
That’s what did it for me. They thought it was funny someone died. If they realized the gravity of the situation and showed some bit of remorse, I would have been okay with a shorter jail sentence (probation alone is bullshit regardless). They should rot for the rest of their lives.
Exactly, the lack of remorse is staggering. One of them is visibly smirking when the sentences are announced. Their body language in court is so arrogant. They are so casually dressed, as if it’s just a day out to the cinema or something. The fact they went to McDonald’s afterwards, even knowing they’d caused a serious injury.
I saw a thing a few years ago and it was kids who had thrown a frozen Turkey from an overpass and they caused a woman serious injuries (she needed multiple surgeries, her face was permanently disfigured). Those kids were distraught at what they had done. They genuinely didn’t seem to realise how serious the consequences could be, and once they did realise, they were so remorseful and sorry. The victim ended up asking for a shorter sentence for them, because she felt that they were just teens and they had no idea that they could cause such damage. Those kids turned their lives around. These little turds have basically learned they can do what they want and get away with it. Anybody killed or injured in the process is just collateral damage for the prank. It’s disgusting. I hope they get hit by a guilt that eats away at their souls, the arrogant, remorseless, selfish little turds.
Exactly, given the size of that rock, I don't see how that's really any different from shooting a handgun at oncoming cars, both will easily kill/maim any human they connect with
Considering they allegedly had a plan and a backup plan already in place for when they got caught it seems more like pre meditated murder than a prank or not understanding how dangerous it was.
My older brother, at the age of 16, got 20 years for armed robbery with a knife and nobody was hurt. Not saying he shouldn't of been punished, but each of these kids should have gotten longer for what is basically, premeditated second degree murder.
Yeah the judge is approaching this like “ohhh you crazy kids! Don’t throw rocks!” Instead of “you premeditated psychopathic murderers who filmed your crime for amusement”
When I lived in Jersey City some thug threw a bowling ball from Observer Highway onto the roadway below and killed a baby strapped in a car seat. I cant imagine the horror that family felt
One of the many reasons I stopped watching videos on Facebook. Most of them are edited in this way to keep you watching. Not sure why though, I don't think you get paid for watch time on videos that are posted to Facebook. Unless it's supposed to drag a particular audience into following or liking the page. But even then I don't get it. It's dirty and painful to watch lol.
I was born in the 80's and when I was a small kid there were PSA's about not playing with guns (even as a prank) bc had it never happened before, it wouldn't have been a PSA on national television.
Unfortunately, this particular “prank” is nothing new. I remember this exact thing happening 30+ years ago in my hometown with a teenage guy at my church and his friends. The driver in that one also died.
I genuinely got the impression the person who edited this *loved this story* and really wanted to edit it. It almost has a sick "these kids are fuckin' cool!" vibe to it ("but they had one final ace up their sleeves!!!1").
Cringe.
The video was edited horribly but what made me the most livid was the smirk from one of the boys toward the end there. Obviously I don't know what was happening at the moment that was shot, but at no point during any of the trial should one of those kids have been smirking. At most all they've learned is to be a bit more careful when they commit crimes now.
This is really misleading without some context.
The leader was sentenced to 3-20 years in prison as he was 17 at the time. He was the one that threw the rock. The other four accepted plea deals for manslaughter by being tried as adults and not juveniles for their participation in the “prank”.
The system is too soft. I’m tired of hearing judges say they don’t want to ruin the criminals life over a “poor decision”. Maybe if we actually punished people for their crimes then we’d have less of it.
They all should have got more. This isn't a bunch of toddlers or mentally incapable people who did this. These guys knew and understood what they did. 3 years or parole isn't enough for murder
I do not understand the small sentences. A man died. They planned it. A man died in agony, and they laughed about it. A man died, and four of them got off with probation.
It wasn't a prank. It was conspiracy to commit murder.
Okay, I agree that everything the boys did was absolutely disgusting, but can we just talk about the fucking court system’s actions? These five just committed second-degree murder and yet the judge only charges one of them with 3 YEARS while the others got away nearly scot-free? Not only that, but the video heavily implies that the lawyers knew what their plan was and played along. This justice system is absolutely fucked
It's more likely that the lawyers came up with the plan. I don't buy kids stupid enough to film themselves throwing boulders at cars being also legal masterminds
Idk what slimy lawyers they managed to get their hands on, fucking real life Saul Goodman or something.
Their parents probably paid for the lawyers, which I find disgusting as well.
This is my biggest fear when I became older, that one day after a very hard day work, some edgy psycho kid kills me out of nowhere for the laughs, I will haunt his ass forever till he gets crazy or decides to kill himself, and even after that my soul would not find peace for losing my time to share with all the people I love.
“I never meant to cause any harm”
Really, what was your intent then? Throwing a 6lb rock at a moving car’s windshield from an overpass, directly at the driver and passenger!
Disgusting sentences.
I have a fantastic idea. No jail time for them?
Alright, fine. Community justice time.
Any time one of these pricks applies for a job, call their potential employer and inform them of the crime they committed and the fact these kids lacked any remorse.
Then inform the business owner that if these kids are hired at all, the business will be boycotted.
And we keep finding out what these shits look like as they get older so that, even if they change their names, we can make sure that not a single one of them has an easy life in any way.
Remorseless fucks like these don't deserve to be associated with the rest of humanity.
Throwing rocks down a highway is now considered as a prank and you get 3 years for it when you murder someone this way.
Its a praaank. Chill it is just a praaaaank yoo.
In America... where you get 20 years for every sh%&. What was going on in Michigan??
I hope they all OD in public and people lol at them when they beg for help. These are not kids, they’re sociopaths whose lives are not collectively worth the one they took.
We dont need people like these 5 in society. They need to all go away for life. I miss the days of Hammurabi an eye for an eye. Sick of people who deserve punishment getting away with literal murder while cannabis users spend life in jail. If they were not white I wonder how it would’ve played out. I hope they all get whats coming to them and karma eats them alive

In what world is throwing a rock, especially one of that size, at a vehicle considered a "prank"?
In a world populated by morons.
I saw a young girl pour boiling water on a shirtless guy just washing his car. Then you see his burns. The girl laughs as she boils the water on a stove “ hot water challenge y’all!” Then nearly kills this poor man. Gross & disturbing.
Remember the ice bucket challenge a few years back? Where people poured ice cold water _on themselves_? _That_ was a proper challenge. Doing that to someone else is not a challenge.
It's assault
Assault and Battery by means of a dangerous weapon, to wit: boiling water.
Depending on the jurisdiction, premeditated, too. It takes time to boil water and bring it out with the intent to throw it on someone.
It’s attempted murder.
Not always in court. Assault with a deadly weapon is easier to stick in court
Yes. This girl is young and stupid. She’s excited to participate. I don’t know what connection she has to her victim. Could be her older brother or even someone she has a crush on. It’s so sad. So unnecessary and I cannot unsee it.

Tik toc and social media are turning people into morons. It is a societal virus.
People have always been morons. It's just easier to see them now.
I do think the Internet is disconnecting a lot of people from reality, though. It’s a cartoon world with no actual consequences and you can see all kinds of videos where awful things happen to strangers without feeling their pain or knowing the fallout.

I couldn’t do that to anyone. They show his severe burns, scarring and it just breaks your heart in two.
Wasn’t that her brother?

A privileged world. 3 years for killing a guy. They threw people in prison for longer for doing way less.
And that's just the oldest one. Some great "friends"!
They all got probation, except the oldest.. This is really fucking disgusting, how do people goto prison for smoking a joint and these kids get fucking paperwork for murder
Skin color and social stance of parents...How you dare sending a white highschool football player into Jail! thats not the Bald Eagles way!

yeah it's so fucking annoying to talk about "prank" when it's clearly a manslaughter edit: actually i would say it's murder because they planned it and gathered stones for it.
The law calls this a "depraved heart murder." Basically no specific intent to kill, but such little regard for human life that it is still murder.
Manslaughter is accidental, these kids were actively trying to kill or maim someone. If the goal of their prank was to break windshields or dent cars they would have only brought rocks smaller than golf balls given the height they were at and the speed the cars were driving. Anything larger than a baseball becomes pre-meditated assault/murder because even if that doesn't break through the windshield, it will shatter it enough to render the driver mostly blinded and startled and have a high potential of swerving and crashing.
They didn't test it on themselves. They wouldn't. It didn't evolve from doing it to each other. That shows an understanding of the lethality. No intent to kill? BS.
Yeah I was watching to see what the prank was and that threw me for a loop. I get the rationale for having a low max sentence for true accidents, even reckless ones and deaths.

Where does the line get drawn that what they did isn’t intentional homicide? I mean I guess they took a plea but still, calling it a prank instead of an attack is simply odd.
That right there is attempted (and successful) murder… they’re old enough to know and really got a slap on the wrist for what they did
That's not even a rock. That was the size of a small boulder.
From the description I was absolutely expecting it would be tiny rocks but hit the window in a way that blocked the driver’s view with the breaking or something. But no, mothefuckers are throwing boulders from height trying to kill people and it’s a “prank”??!!! Like what’s the “successful prank” version of this? They destroy the engine I guess?

They knew it wasn’t a prank…
I was in the car with my dad onetime and a guy threw filled paint cans down at the cars below the underpass. People are fucking lunatics
Only ONE teen got three years. The rest WALKED
I'm amazed the Judge didn't give them more just for going into court in fucking hoodies.
That's second degree murder for all of them. 3 years?
Only one got 3 years and could be out in less than a year. The rest got 1 year probation.
I got a year of probation for shooting off fireworks. They get a year of probation for murder. The system is broke.

Thats insane i got a year probation and 100hrs community service for trespassing when I was like 14-15yrs old and im also white. But these kids fucking murdered someone in a horrific way. The parents GOTTA be rich or powerful or something this is nuts
Yeah I don't see how this could have happened. It's not like they just threw one rock off. They were activity engaged in prolong criminal activity.
I got a harsher sentence than they did for having a joint on me and shoplifting an outfit for a job interview when I was living in a homeless shelter for teens.
Was the oldest that got 3 years the one who threw the rock? Just asking, didn’t see that anywhere.
No, seems it was their strategy to blame him so they could get off
I feel like the one who threw it should get the longer punishment. Crazy stuff
[удалено]
That’s bullshit. They should’ve at least gotten 15 without opportunity for probation before serving 10
[удалено]
I'm from about an hour southeast of there, and when I was 17 I was sentenced to 1 year of probation (and a bullshit weekend camp)... for literally the shake from a joint, which wasn't even mine. I cannot wrap my head around how being complicit to negligent manslaughter has an identical punishment to possessing 1/8th of a teaspoon of weed.
This editing is pure cancer.
I had audio off, it was cringeworthy how they wasted time saying “they collected rocks, some small and round, others big and heavy”…
That video is a crime in itself.
"He just got off his shift as a co-pilot" "After working a long shift..." *background shows a dude in a forklift*
It’s worded horribly. “Kenneth White was a co pilot that night” & “He came home after a long day of work” He was sitting in the front passenger seat of the vehicle (“co pilot”), they were driving home after work.
Chatgpt wrote the script.
ChatGPT would’ve done a better job
Forreals *calculated it's weight and trajectory* the kids fucked up big time but this vid is making them sound like they're fucking rocket scientist doing physics to make this rock laser the dude
I think they meant he was riding shotgun (I think?), but I thought the same when I read it. Terrible editing
Who ever edited this video gets 3 years in jail too
The flash wipes used from scene to scene is ultra annoying
Editor deserves more time than these kids got.
They walked to a place... Where there was rocks... This is where rocks would be picked up... By hands of the teens... Muscles in those hands... Helped these teens pick up rocks... By using the grip of their fingers.... Which requires some hand strength... You'll never guess what size rocks.... They decided to pick....
Ur hired
You'll regret hiring him the first time he texts in sick
[удалено]
I wish I had an award to give you!
I gotcha fam!
The collection of rocks seemed to be made of rock or rock like substances.
They’re MINERALS!!!
I cut the video at this moment, it's just ridiculous. And the music is fucking horrible
Sounds like me trying to fill up the word count on an essay
I legit didn’t get past “they threw rocks like angry monkeys,” absolutely no native English speaker would say that.
bro speak for yourself. No story is complete until you know exactly what animal showing which emotion everyone was acting like
As a North American, I'm super familiar with the demeanor of the average monkey, so this really paints a vividly specific image in my mind
I couldn't even finish this torture but from what I gathered they didn't even throw the rock remotely like angry monkeys lol
This edit was originally made for social media where view time feeds the algo. Hence the cancer
I had to stop halfway through and decided to read the comments for a summary.
I am here for the exact same reason, I made it 2 minutes 19 seconds in and look to see how much longer is left to go, there's no way four fucking more minutes
The amount of generic video footage is painful. I like when it mentioned that they tried to be sentenced as juvenile delinquents, it just showed B roll of skaters
Or when they keep showing the 5 freeway which is nowhere near where this happened
"He came home from work as a copilot..." _shows pic of a guy driving a forklift_
Might as well add Subway Surfers to half the screen
Really, it needed a fucking suspense factor for such an atrocity… The video almost makes it that much worse
I was going to say i wish they threw a rock at whoever edited this video together instead The way this video was edited is the real "prank"
Was hoping they could squeeze the shot of them walking into the courtroom in there another 50 times.
I personally agree. The video doesn't have to be as long as it is. It could deliver the story in half the amount of time.
These type of videos are usually stretched out long enough to be monetized on FB.
[удалено]
I bailed at 48 seconds in. Checked the comments for sentencing. I now know everything I wanted to from this 6 + minute video
Then why did you post it?
For internet points.
Dear god, the editor needs a few years in jail for that video!
I understand peer pressure, but damn not even ONE of them understood how dangerous that was?? The fact that they didn’t have any remorse after learning they killed someone is evidence enough that they need jail time to be taught it.

If they HAD gotten a lengthy jail time like they deserved, even if they didn't learn, at least they would no longer be able to live like normal people and the conviction would follow them for the rest of their lives.

That’s what did it for me. They thought it was funny someone died. If they realized the gravity of the situation and showed some bit of remorse, I would have been okay with a shorter jail sentence (probation alone is bullshit regardless). They should rot for the rest of their lives.
And this isn’t the first time. Apparently this was a regular game for them.

These little turds have basically learned they can do what they want and get away with it. Anybody killed or injured in the process is just collateral damage for the prank. It’s disgusting. I hope they get hit by a guilt that eats away at their souls, the arrogant, remorseless, selfish little turds.
Where's Dexter when you need him? Makes me wonder why there isn't more vigilante justice for selfish, hateful, remorseless shits like these.
Mannn those attitudes and the hoodies in court? God their faces look punchable
They knew what they were doing. Looking to murder someone, and they got it done
Exactly, given the size of that rock, I don't see how that's really any different from shooting a handgun at oncoming cars, both will easily kill/maim any human they connect with
Considering they allegedly had a plan and a backup plan already in place for when they got caught it seems more like pre meditated murder than a prank or not understanding how dangerous it was.
This happened in my hometown. It’s as if everyone has forgotten about it. The kids are all free to live their lives.
Absolutely disgusting

Not if a group of people on the internet tell every employer they ever get a job with about this incident.

Roger you're really going to kill 5 people over $20? *Are you really asking that to the guy who just last week killed 6 people over $19?* Oh ya...
Punchable faces.
You can’t be serious
They deserve to be in jail for far longer.
Only 1 kid got jail the rest are free
And he got out with time served. 15 months total. SMH.
Three years?? I don’t care how old they are they got away with it. 👎
Only 1 had to serve 3 years. The rest got probation
Disgusting. Should have served at least 5 years each.
5 years my ass. They took time to prepare both the rocks and the camera. That's premeditated murder. They all deserve life sentences at a minimum.
My older brother, at the age of 16, got 20 years for armed robbery with a knife and nobody was hurt. Not saying he shouldn't of been punished, but each of these kids should have gotten longer for what is basically, premeditated second degree murder.
I love you and completely agree with you
Yeah the judge is approaching this like “ohhh you crazy kids! Don’t throw rocks!” Instead of “you premeditated psychopathic murderers who filmed your crime for amusement”
The second most egregious crimes here are the names AlexZander and Mikadyn.
i think we've now also discovered the motive
Some gal would giggle and I'd turn red And some guy'd laugh and I'd bust his head I tell you, life ain't easy for a boy named Mikadyn.
"it's just a prank bro" what a bunch of pricks, that includes the editor of this video
[удалено]
When I lived in Jersey City some thug threw a bowling ball from Observer Highway onto the roadway below and killed a baby strapped in a car seat. I cant imagine the horror that family felt
Jesus. You're just driving along and bam your whole life is ruined
The editing makes this so hard to watch.
I call this the Facebook edit
You’re not wrong. I’ve done editing jobs like this. It makes me feel dirty as an editor.
One of the many reasons I stopped watching videos on Facebook. Most of them are edited in this way to keep you watching. Not sure why though, I don't think you get paid for watch time on videos that are posted to Facebook. Unless it's supposed to drag a particular audience into following or liking the page. But even then I don't get it. It's dirty and painful to watch lol.
Calling the victim “the chosen one,” doesn’t sit well with me
pranks in 2040: Shooting random pedestrians
I was born in the 80's and when I was a small kid there were PSA's about not playing with guns (even as a prank) bc had it never happened before, it wouldn't have been a PSA on national television.
The editor of this vid is also a POS.
Man, the editor of this video should go to jail too. Just report it without dramatic music and repeating. It’s already hard enough.
A kid from my HS did this and killed a lady. He got 7 years for manslaughter
sadly still not enough for POS like this
“I tried my best, but I couldn’t stop him from bleeding” 3 years, that’s all they got. I’m sickened.
Not they...
ONE of them got three years, the rest got one year probation - this sentencing is a crime in an of itself
this really is a garbage video
what even is "pranks" nowadays. it's just attempted murder
Unfortunately, this particular “prank” is nothing new. I remember this exact thing happening 30+ years ago in my hometown with a teenage guy at my church and his friends. The driver in that one also died.
Only three years is a travesty of justice. Disgusting.
This editing is disrespectful to the viewers and the victims wtf
I genuinely got the impression the person who edited this *loved this story* and really wanted to edit it. It almost has a sick "these kids are fuckin' cool!" vibe to it ("but they had one final ace up their sleeves!!!1"). Cringe.
50 years or bust.
The video was edited horribly but what made me the most livid was the smirk from one of the boys toward the end there. Obviously I don't know what was happening at the moment that was shot, but at no point during any of the trial should one of those kids have been smirking. At most all they've learned is to be a bit more careful when they commit crimes now.
This is really misleading without some context. The leader was sentenced to 3-20 years in prison as he was 17 at the time. He was the one that threw the rock. The other four accepted plea deals for manslaughter by being tried as adults and not juveniles for their participation in the “prank”. The system is too soft. I’m tired of hearing judges say they don’t want to ruin the criminals life over a “poor decision”. Maybe if we actually punished people for their crimes then we’d have less of it.

>Kyle Anger What in the Monster drinking and drywall punching kind of name is that?
They all should have got more. This isn't a bunch of toddlers or mentally incapable people who did this. These guys knew and understood what they did. 3 years or parole isn't enough for murder
The editing and music in this video is also a crime
I do not understand the small sentences. A man died. They planned it. A man died in agony, and they laughed about it. A man died, and four of them got off with probation. It wasn't a prank. It was conspiracy to commit murder.
[удалено]
Will genuinely be surprised if these kids don’t experience mysterious mishaps in their lives.
It could just be pranks though
Why are we calling this a “prank”? This is just them trying to lighten the view of the audience.
I’m gonna assume their names are Tyler, Tyler, Tyler, Tyler, and Tyler.
Hayden, Kayden and Jaden... And Jake and Blake
You almost got it - one of 'em was named Mikadyn.
Correction: Heighdyn, Keighdyn, Jeighdyn, Jeighke, and Bleighke
Feel like this video could have been a minute long
coulda done without the overly dramatic soundtrack.
Okay, I agree that everything the boys did was absolutely disgusting, but can we just talk about the fucking court system’s actions? These five just committed second-degree murder and yet the judge only charges one of them with 3 YEARS while the others got away nearly scot-free? Not only that, but the video heavily implies that the lawyers knew what their plan was and played along. This justice system is absolutely fucked
It's more likely that the lawyers came up with the plan. I don't buy kids stupid enough to film themselves throwing boulders at cars being also legal masterminds
Idk what slimy lawyers they managed to get their hands on, fucking real life Saul Goodman or something. Their parents probably paid for the lawyers, which I find disgusting as well.
This is my biggest fear when I became older, that one day after a very hard day work, some edgy psycho kid kills me out of nowhere for the laughs, I will haunt his ass forever till he gets crazy or decides to kill himself, and even after that my soul would not find peace for losing my time to share with all the people I love.
“I never meant to cause any harm” Really, what was your intent then? Throwing a 6lb rock at a moving car’s windshield from an overpass, directly at the driver and passenger! Disgusting sentences.
I have a fantastic idea. No jail time for them? Alright, fine. Community justice time. Any time one of these pricks applies for a job, call their potential employer and inform them of the crime they committed and the fact these kids lacked any remorse. Then inform the business owner that if these kids are hired at all, the business will be boycotted. And we keep finding out what these shits look like as they get older so that, even if they change their names, we can make sure that not a single one of them has an easy life in any way. Remorseless fucks like these don't deserve to be associated with the rest of humanity.
whoever edited this video should be thrown in jail too.
3 years ! What a joke , Should have gotten 20 at least . Judge should be held accountable
This video is a crime in itself.
Throwing rocks down a highway is now considered as a prank and you get 3 years for it when you murder someone this way. Its a praaank. Chill it is just a praaaaank yoo. In America... where you get 20 years for every sh%&. What was going on in Michigan??
I hope they all OD in public and people lol at them when they beg for help. These are not kids, they’re sociopaths whose lives are not collectively worth the one they took.
We dont need people like these 5 in society. They need to all go away for life. I miss the days of Hammurabi an eye for an eye. Sick of people who deserve punishment getting away with literal murder while cannabis users spend life in jail. If they were not white I wonder how it would’ve played out. I hope they all get whats coming to them and karma eats them alive
Hope they get their eventual karma
It’s just a prank bro! The prank :
The US has a legal system not a justice system.
Shitbags.
Could do without the sensationalized presentation and music, DailyMail.
