Dust the rock for prints? Or is that too obvious?

I suppose the “gangster“ characterization is just a guess?

After the incident, the provincial governor and the provincial police commissioner assigned the provincial criminal force to investigate the case, and finally the authorities caught the two perpetrators, who admitted that they often throw stones at random vehicles on that road, but that there was no special motive in this case.

The two accused are named Chhoeun Phearum, male, 15 years old, Khmer worker in Village 34, Ta Ong Commune, Chamkar Leu District, and Ry Thea, male, 20 years old, Khmer worker in Bang 2 village, Bos Khnour commune, Chamkar Leu district, Kampong Cham province.
Both of them tested positive for drug use (methamphetamine), and the police took them to the Chamkar Leu District Police Inspectorate for further questioning.

Dumb fuckers doing it for entertainment, they’ll certainly be entertained now. This rock throwing shit was a thing in Australia a while back also, dropping rocks of highway overpasses.
RIP to the young man and his family
I know the big words make your cock feel bigger, but I’m just an old truck driver keep it simple aye! 8)
