I'm not "painting them" as anything. They were in a car which was in motion when they hurled the bird... i.e. they were "motoring." Had they been on foot or in a stopped car when it happened, their victim's injuries wouldn't have been nearly as horrific. BUt if we take the reasoning of some in this thread and apply it to the turkey assault, I guess the victim should have avoided driving in a situation where it was possible that there would be a car full of sociopaths with groceries in the opposite lane.
