Seven charges of mischief endangering life and one charge of assault with a weapon have been laid against a 14-year-old boy and an 18-year-old man for allegedly throwing rocks at moving vehicles near Campbellton.

Been around the Southern Shore/Salmonier, and Whitbourne/Carbonear (via Old Perlican) Loops in the last couple of days. Not a soul to be seen on any of the ballfields/soccer pitches. At least some dumb asses are active even if it's throwing rocks.
