IT is hard to fathom the stupidity of those idiots who have been pelting moving buses with rocks and stones in Tiptree.

One passenger on a Colchester to Maldon bus has already suffered cuts from the shattered glass after windows were smashed by these mindless morons.

But it could have been so much worse. What might just seem like casual vandalism to the perpetrators could easily turn to tragedy.

Youngsters do not always think through the potential consequences of their actions.

But surely any fool must recognise that hurling missiles at a bus is irresponsible in the extreme.

Hopefully they will realise their stupidity and pack it in – or get caught and have to answer for their actions.
