Fry 'em

Were they aiming at people, or at cars? The latter, to which damage does not constitute a personal injury. Were they trying to actually destroy cars or force them into crashes so that people would get injured? You know they weren't, that they almost certainly could never even see the people in the cars they were bombarding. They were trying to be troublesome assholes and they succeeded admirably but there is absolutely zero indication that their actions constituted any kind of battery. As far as intent goes, intent was for this to be a "prank."

They dropped multiple rock blocks onto a highway with moving cars. This wasn't even the first rock being dropped. "haha you were in a 70 mph car wreck with a rock in the road ohhohohoh what a funny prank" are you absolutely being serious here? This was a clear intent to injure and that is why the DA is charging them with 2nd degree murder.

No, they're doing 2nd degree murder planning to use "reckless endangerment" as a way to bypass the need for intent, claiming that it was so obvious that injury could happen that it doesn't matter if they intended it or not.

Sounds appropriate, causing injury is a pretty obvious consequence when you throw rocks on a highway.
