While playing a " prank " 5 teens killed 32 year old Kenneth White by launching a 6 pound rock over bridge overpass on Monday.
Kyle Anger, 17, Alexander Miller, 15, Mark Sekelsky, 16, Mikadyn Payne, 16, and Trevor Gray, 15, have all been charged with second degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder.
I wish no harm to any human or creature out there but these kids asked for the punishment and sentence they're going to most likely be handed down. The fact that a woman lost her fiance, a child lost his father, parents have lost their son, etc, etc...
To think about possibly having a closed casket funeral is just sickening and heavy weighing.
Even though all teens participated, it was 17 year old Kyle Anger who threw the 6 pound rock that killed White. Reports say that the rock went through the windshield and smashed into Kenneth White's face and ricocheted to his chest. Prosecutors were in court with graphic pictures to the blood lost from the blunt impact to the face.
32 year old Kenneth White
The teens were scheduled to be arraigned this morning and could be facing life in prison if found guilty.
That reminded me of how the scum teens and gangster in Thailand killed passerby drivers by throwing the rock into the windshield to stole their valuables. That wasn't prank, just cold-blooded murder. A lot of them are teenagers in motorcycle gang.

Very sad moment, that's why Pranks should be performed by only professionals with full security measures. We cannot kill any living thing for the Laughs or Pranks. Now a days anyone who has small youtube channel picks up handy cam and starts doing stupid pranks with people & I think it should be banned or maybe any law should be made to avoid this type of incidents.

@joseph That is just truly tragic! I swear, kids just REALLY don't think sometimes! I am certain they never even contemplated such an outcome. All of their lives forever changed - and such a tragic and unnecessary loss for that young family. Truly very sad :(

Punishment in the form of prison seems a bit inappropriate here, i think. These teens just have not brains, it is unlikely that the prison will be able to fix it. Rather, they will become even more stupid. So, one stone combined with stupidity breaks a few lives...

They need to be evaluated them first. Whose idea was it to throw the rock? if the other guys didn't give incentive for this then they should help prosecute the main culprits and get rehabilitation, go to programs to help them in hindsight.

This is such a tragedy. I think things like this really speak to the collapse of values in our society. Do we now need to teach children that it's not a good idea to drop rocks from an overpass? I know they were teenagers, and not fully able to see all the consequences of their actions, but one would think that they should be smart enough to know what's going to happen if you drop a rock on someone from an overpass. Seems like these days so many people just don't care about how their actions impact others. I wonder how we can teach people to care about each other again. It's so sad that that is something that we need to think about how we can accomplish. It's also terrifying that every time we go under one of these overpasses, there's always a possibility that we could end up being killed by kids like these, it's just another one of those realities of our lives that we've grown to accept. It's so sad that this is what our lives have become. Should we accept this? Is there anything that can be done to stop this from happening again?

I fear we're not bringing our children up with good morals. That could have been me, driving -- or any of us. What a senseless waste.
Perhaps a copycat, as well? In the movie "The Good Son", the "bad" son throws a dummy off a bridge, to make it look like a suicide, and causes an accident. Then there were the shooters from the bridges, years back, I forget where that was.
Really sad that bridges need such huge high fences with the tops rounded to deter both climbers and things such as this.

Unfortunately, similar incidents happened in Holland (where I'm from) a few years ago. In the same area, rocks were thrown off a bridge and I believe a few people got killed. I will never understand what possesses people to do this kind of thing 'for fun'. This mans life wasted, his family left without a husband/father/son and five more families now have to live without their sons....all for half a second of 'fun'. If it were younger kids, I could understand that they wouldn't know how dangerous something like this could be, but teenagers should definitely know better...They're gonna have a long, long time to think about their actions. I feel for the families on both sides, it's a terrible thing to have to go through.

Honestly these things should never happen and for the most part can be avoided. It's the recklessness of others who are inconsiderate and oblivious to the dangers their actions pose. The same goes for DUIs and such. These kids had it coming. RIP

It is really atrocious, so very, very sad. As you say, the victim is now lost to his family. Saddest thing of all, these young men probably did this impulsively and under the influence of alcohol or drugs. They deserve what is coming to them, there is no question in my mind.
However, ponder this: these five teenagers also lost their loved ones, and their loved ones are lost to them. Close family members might forgive, and love might prevail, but they will be scarred for the rest of their lives, all of them. After all, how do you live with the fact that your child/sibling is a murderer?
Because that is what they are...
