Yes, very sad. A number of years ago when I lived in Detroit something similar happened. Someone threw a concrete block and killed a lady. Turns out she was the wife of a co-worker and they just had a child a few months prior.

What makes people want to do these things???

I similar thing happened in Mass. about 15 years ago. Someone dropped a granite block off an overpass and killed a woman. THe state responded faster than I thought was possible and installed fencing on every overpass in the state. I think they finished the job in a matter of a few months. I think the fences are like 12' tall and curve in towards the road to make it difficult to through anything off the overpass.

I live near Syracuse, NY now and a woman was killed here a couple of years ago. Maybe we need fences on overpasses everywhere to deal with all the stupid people out there.

Another one

In San Antonio, some kids dumped a port-o-potty on the heads of tourists taking a boat ride thru the city, on the river walk. The police acted very quickly and offered rewards. They have said they will charge the perps with terroristic activity and organized crime.
Possible spread of hepatides or other nasty stuff.
What the hell is going on where people don't have common dignity to respect others and just leave people alone. We as a country, need to take very strong action when these type of things happen and make sure the press is inviteed to the punishment.

As far as I am concerned, this goes right back to the "no-discipline, no spankings" in the homes and especially in the schools. Kids and young adults are looking for that line that they cannot cross (if they do, they get punished), but we as a society don't have a line that they cannot cross, nor do we have any punishment if they do cross the line. Sure, maybe when they get caught for the deed they pulled, something like disturbing the peace charge will be brought against them, but none-to-little punishment. There are good kids, that have parents that set some limits, but not much in the schools. Been going in the wrong direction for 40 - 50 years.
I think maybe the judges, social workers, police, lawyers, etc. like to keep it this way, and keep these people running the streets for their own job security. It's not what I used to think about these professions, but am thinking that way more and more.

Here is the link where you can read about who was charged for the ice murder of Elaine Cowell.
I just don't understand what goes through someones mind to make them do something like this.

I remember when I was a kid, forty plus years ago, the same thing happening with some concrete chunks in Fontana, California.

I guess even then kids with nothing to do got into trouble.

It is so sad. Can you imagine how the parents of the kids involved feel? How would you feel? I know it isn't as great a pain as the loss the victim's family feels, but it still has to be a terrible thing to live with knowing your child, was so stupid and caused such a tragedy.

That concept was used in Afghanistan. I believe our country was one of the world's nations that stepped in and stopped it for that and other reasons.
