Hearing about the Long Island kids who critically injured a woman by throwing a frozen turkey at her car made Gothamist happy that we don't live in the suburbs anymore. Now, our fair shair of insane stuff happens in the city, but being bored in the suburbs leads to crazy stuff like this. The group of teenagers were arrested, after police traced the 20 pound turkey purchase to a credit card they stole. The victim is still in a coma, after almost every bone in her face was broken by the impact; the Daily News described the impact as being like "a bowling ball dropped from a 20-story building."
