Why? It's a valid argument and conducive to the point you're trying to make.

30mph zones exist for a reason and it is accepted that hitting someone with a vehicle travelling at a higher speed causes more damage, or even death. So if you're travelling at 35mph in a 30mph area, using your logic, it might be argued that you are a willing participant in a potentially murderous act as, in your own vernacular, what do you think would happen? Why would you do that in the knowledge that if you hit someone you'd cause more damage or even death?

Throwing concrete off a bridge may hit someone or something, or it may not. Speeding may cause an accident, or it may not. In both cases, the risk of causing injury or death is greater than it is if you weren't doing it. So therefore it is logical to conclude that speeding = attempted murder just as throwing concrete off a bridge = attempted murder.
