If you would like an idea of what Palmer would have done if the girls had stopped you should look at all the facts of the story. He was in the process of stealing a travel trailer from the court that the girls drove into and stumbled into him in the act. They had no idea what he was doing, threw the egg, the chase started. He was chasing them in a stolen truck, the same truck that he used to chase someone with and run them off the road the week before. So what does common sense say would have happened? Probably wouldn't have been a civil scolding. You espouse understanding the consequence of real world actions. Here's a pretty steadfast rule of survival through all of time: When you're chased; run. I don't know any high school kid who hasn't done things like egging. It's a condition that is always going to be there. As you go further in life, most people learn not to throw eggs at things, or other actions that provoke. But nobody ever learned anything from doing everything right. That kids will do these things is a fact of existence. No matter how much guidance is given it's going to happen. You know nothing about how the girls families raised them. You're a "blame the victim" person. Much more so than the other poster being a supposed apologist for the girls.
