ok bud, you should seriously be shot.

Today coming home from Little Caesars, I saw a full deck of cards scattered across the road.

I really wonder how that came about.

I remember once walking home from school, trying to sneak a cig and share it with some friends, a woman on a bike a ways ahead of us got something thrown at her and she fell off her bike.

Actually, the soda bottle (no mention of full or not) missed the door-to-door person. It was someone else waiting at a bus stop after school who got hit by a full soda cup.

I stand corrected.
My concern was more that the thread was going to turn into a direct sales bashing thread, and people might excuse the attack away because of their feelings for the job that the girl was doing. I guess I read both incidents in the separate posts and mixed them up in my head.

I got the impression the bottle was empty, since the OP said they threw a soda bottle. If it had been full, I think it would have been worded as "a bottle of soda".

Either way, an object being thrown from a vehicle, regardless of the weight, could hurt if it had made contact in the wrong place, (potential for eye injury, for example) so it was very foolish on the part of the people in the car.

Still, the fact that the bottle-thrower missed doesn't excuse things, merely downgrades it from battery to assault.

No, it doesn't excuse the behaviour, and it really isn't relevant if it's battery or assault. It was stupid and there was no need for them to behave like that.

Blas,
Next time you see that, pick up the deck! I collect cards! Btw, that brings new definition to "52-card pickup." Lol. But on a different note, throwing things from moving vehicles can really do damage because of the momentum gained from the fact that the car is moving, putting momentum behind the throw

I am sorry your coworker got some thing thrown out her. Some people just have no proper training.

I was not referring to the assault in remainder of my post (since removed); I'm sorry if that was unclear. Of course the physical assault was unacceptable and illegal. I was referring to the other comments about people pretending the canvasser was not there, calling the police about the lack of a license, etc.

When you end things with "I know it's bad BUT" that tends to make someone think you're gonna add something that means they deserved it -3-
