    This is yet another prime example of the law protecting the criminals. This is illegal to do and the criminal has a right to sue you when they break bones (which they will) trying to hit your mailbox with a bat.

    On the flip side, if you have a brick or concrete mailbox, no worries. But, as I understand it, in some jurisdictions, if a vehicle hits your brick mailbox with their vehicle, you assume responsibility for damage to the vehicle. Even though they hit a stationary object.

    We live somewhat out in the country and have a mailbox on the other side of the road from the house. Luckily for us, I believe the mailbox we have has been standing since the home was built in 1982. It's an oversized, well built, custom looking mailbox that appears to have never been hit with a bat. That said, if I went through mailbox after mailbox living in an area where this kind of activity (sport for teens) was prevalent, I'd do the same thing as the photo depicts.

    Damned the consequences and I would have zero empathy for the person who got hurt.

    I love it. Use it for music, amp for my electric drums, occasionally a guitar amp. They screwed up marketing it as a "gaming monitor". Hope it never dies.

    Makes me think of the demon child that used to live across the street from me. He hurled one of those at my dad's groin.

    And then what happened? 😳


    Don't really remember but, he was in pain for a while. :D

    No shite!
    What’d that taste like?
    I’ve never had people on a stick.

    Oh O apologize for that but, was the first thing that popped into the grey matter.

    Actually, I have tried gator meat. It has a rubbery texture similar to Calamari and tastes like. . . Chicken.

    However, the image in question is actually a crocodile.

    About the Crocodile -

    Based on fossil evidence, the longest crocodile ever to live was a Sarcosuchus imperator, who measured 40 feet long and weighed 17,600 pounds.

    The largest one ever officially measured was Lolong (pictured above), who was a saltwater crocodile that measured 20 feet three inches long and weighed 2,370 pounds. It came from an unknown pond in the Philippines.

    The largest Saltwater Crocs are actually native to Indonesia, Southeast Asia, eastern India, and the northern coast of Australia. Saltwater crocodiles inhabit mangrove swamps, marshes, rivers, lakes, ponds, and even coastal ocean waters. Their favorite haunts include murky waters where they can remain concealed below the water, waiting for unsuspecting prey. Saltwater crocodiles can lie in wait like this for up to seven hours.

    Bahahaaaa…..

    Had a bar/restaurant we opened in 98 and served gator. Our customers would always ask… what is this, chicken or pork?
    They were surprised it was actually gator.

    Best way I can describe it is it has the texture of pork and tastes like what you feed it.
