    is it Rich and the Lawnmower of Doom?

    Has one of our own finally had all he can take?

    If a man wants to shoot his lawn mower, he should be allowed to do so, without having to pay a penalty or go to jail. That's just crazy. And funny as heck! Did you see his hair????

    It sounded like the gun was illegally owned. Otherwise I agree. Why can't someone shoot their lawn mower. I've felt like it many times.

    OMG, toooooooo funny!

    But after I laugh I realize that if he is that trigger happy, what would he do if some little kid got under his skin? Or a dog that barked at him? He is a scary fellow indeed!

    Hey, I could hire him to 'take care of things' regarding the telephone solicitors I get by the millions, lol!

    But of course, this was a humorous thread, and we can just laugh at how crazy it would be to see a guy shooting his lawn mower, lololol!

    well, I guess this is a sort of serious issue, but I was so amused by his hair that all I could think of was a crazy man with bad hair shooting his lawn mower and how funny that would look.

    On some level, I was thinking that this guy must have some sense of right and wrong and knows the difference between shooting a lawnmower and shooting a child. But, he did have a gun that he obtained illegally and he didn't comb his hair, so who knows what else is wrong with him.

    I was going to say that people don’t usually look their best when they get arrested, but now that I think about it maybe that’s as good as it gets. Maybe you should keep a comb in the glove box just in case!

    I cant believe that guy could be going to prison for that length of time for shooting his lawnmower. That us just the stupidest thing ever.

    ahahhaha I'm glad none of my neighbours are like that with their lawnmowers! . At our place we have rocks and plants and concrete.... No grass, thus - no lawnmower

    The gun had a sawed off barrel, quite illegal. Not sure how close he was to the neighbors but it is also illegal to discharge a firearm or bow within 500 ft of a building not owned by you.

    Funny story just the same.

    That was here??? I didn't hear a thing about it. Where have I been?? Well, I admit to not watching the news, listening to the news or reading the paper today. That could be why I am ignorant to this. This is the sort of silly thing someone will bring up in a conversation for no reason, though. I am surprised nobody talked about it.

    Honestly, I am kind of embaressed. The crazy stuff always happens here.

    OH man, I don't blame the guy. I want to shoot my lawnmower all of the time and its only a month old!

    But in his back yard, with his lawnmower, I think it's perfectly legal for him to shoot his lawnmower. And who ever reported him is silly.
