The hidden social toll of Deer Gangs

It seems that one of the local Deer Gangs was initiating a new member on Saturday night.
These initiations normally involve the young buck proving his bravery by trying to steal the manufacturer’s Marque from the front of a car.
Often the initiation passes without incident: it usually doesn’t take long for the buck to realize, in the eerie sodium-light of a car park at 2AM, that he doesn’t have opposable thumbs and he will never have his prize.
Of course, for the older Deer in the gang, this is the whole point of the initiation – the big joke.
On Saturday night however, an initiation took a tragic turn for the worse.
A local buck-initiate, as stupid as he was brave, decided to impress the rest of the gang by trying this stunt on my wife’s car.
It would have been a lot less messy if he would have waited for the car to come to a complete stop first.
