    Beware of Squatters with rock in hand...




    Throwing rocks at passing vehicles is a pastime that seems to be alive and well among the scum of the earth. We already know that this very dangerous act takes place on expressways like SCTEX and on urban roads like Araneta Avenue.

    Here are two separate incidents that occurred on two consecutive nights this week, in the same location: the Quezon Avenue tunnel in Quezon City.

    The first happened to the car of Cams Anareta's father (top photo). She narrates:

    At around 7:30pm on Monday (June 15), my father's car en route to Quezon City Circle and running at 40kph was hit by a huge stone that was intentionally dropped by unknown individuals who were loitering at the top of the tunnel.

    The second happened to Ving Del Prado (bottom photo), who shares:

    Earlier tonight (June 16), around 9pm, while driving through the Quezon Avenue tunnel--the one that passes underneath EDSA--my car was hit by a big rock thrown from the street above. Luckily, only the rear passenger-side door was hit and not the windshield. I also noticed that there were a lot of rocks already scattered along the road, obviously thrown from above! I opted to keep on driving instead of stopping to inspect the damage. Who knows what could have happened had I stopped? Upon arriving home, I checked my car and saw these deep scratches.

    Do you regularly drive this route? If so, consider yourself warned. And to the QC authorities, please: Do your job.

    Last Monday night, I drove through this tunnel from EDSA to Circle and indeed, I noticed piles of rocks on the innermost lane. There should be electrified mesh above to protect motorists. People caught doing this should be caned in public.

    Do they do this (throwing rocks at motorists) at nighttime lang? Or any time of day?

    Pag nahuli yung mga bata na yan, dapat sila ang ihagis sa overpass (deretso sa mga speeding bus).

    Crosswind,

    What happened to the shooter? He can claim self defense, after all he was provoked and threatened. Pag ganyan, all safeties are off, full auto.

    ^ Against kids? I'd rather want them to be miserable in other people's hand than pull a trigger on them myself. Unless kaya ng konsensya mo.

    The Philippines is getting to be a dangerous place to live in.

    Is this their idea of fun? These kids will grow up to be hardened criminals.

    I don't really give a fck if their minors, if they commit a crime then they deserve the same punishment as adults. I really hope they could put a stop to this before these morons injures or kills someone.
