Bikes are fun. A Prius, Lime/Veo/Lyft scooter or the bus is cruel and unusual punishment.More fitting would be forced to ride a bicycle, once he gets out of prison.

I don't know what the rolling coal has to do with anything other than to make the stupid kid look worst than he was. Ever since I was a kid I noticed how the media twisted peoples thoughts via their reporting style.
Probably still working out a deal with the parents. Of course the civil side of this won't just disappear.Waller County Coal Rolling Teen To Face Charging Decision
The Waller County District Attorney says to expect a decision on charges next monthjalopnik.com
The age old question - can we fix "stupid"?Kids do dumb stuff until they are educated about the consequences. I did and so did you. It was my parents who educated me about consequences. Took a belt and many willow switches and a lot of groundings. Even then I still did dumb stuff, but I was more careful and aware of the consequences. So there was a LOT of dumb stuff I never did. Thank you to my parents for all the education. I had a friend that enjoyed splashing pedestrians during hard rains. This was over 50 years ago, kind of the 60's version of coal rolling. He never ran into anyone, but he did get the wrong person, and received special high intensity training from his dad. To bad this kid never knew Chuck's dad, there would be no repeat offenses.
Not every kid has wonderful folks like I had. It is sad that the law is pretty much limited to incarceration, not rehabilitation. Civil penalties on his parents may get them interested in helping to educate their kid.
The EPA is making it ever harder and harder to defeat emission controls. There was a time when emissions make vehicles run poorly. This is no longer true, except in the case of some diesels driven on short trips.
Some kids are slow learners, and will need to be incarcerated. Hopefully with good rehabilitations this number will be small.

Good parents fix most stupid.The age old question - can we fix "stupid"?
What does rolling coal have to do with the kid running over the bike riders? Again I ask.Kids do dumb stuff until they are educated about the consequences. I did and so did you.

Even then I still did dumb stuff, but I was more careful and aware of the consequences. So there was a LOT of dumb stuff I never did. Thank you to my parents for all the education.

I would have to guess the Police found evidence this may have been done with some kind if intent?FYI:
It looks like there is a young fellow in Texas who is in a heap of trouble.

Because he rolled coal or with intent ran over the bike rider?I hope he gets the maximum once he's charged.
According to the law firm suing on the behalf of the injured riders.FYI:

He did both, and both are illegal?What does rolling coal have to do with the kid running over the bike riders? Again I ask.
