My Bush loving "Christian" neighbor just blew half my cats face off .

[rhino47]

I am soooo very pissed off.My gun toting "christian" fundie asshole of a neighbor took his nice little 9 mm out and decided to use my cats face as target pratice.
I know without a doubt it was him.I got the bullet.Hes the only one that has a 9mm and I found my cat near his yard.
I went up to pick my kids from the bus stop near his house .My 6 year old found our cat there bleeding.
What a fucking asshole.To not only shoot my cat.But leave it in a spot he KNEW my kid would find it.
Lovely fucking christian values.
I just got back from his house.I called the cops on the dick.
Take that you fucking law and order repig.
*end of rant*
He hates me because I`m a "idol worshiping catholic" (his words) and that I send my children to catholic schools.Even worse is that I`m a far left liberal.
I took my cat misty to the vet.They operated on her.Her jaw was shattered.He came over and shot her again after hitting her in the face.She has extensive injuries from the second shot (to her stomach).
I had to have her put to sleep.This is the stupidity we are dealing with in this country.No open discourse or debate.Just blow holes in someones animal because you cant converse like an adult.
*end of rant*

1. Call the police ...

shooting a pet is a crime I believe.

20. RE: "Call the police ..."

shooting a pet is a crime I believe.

I don't know about that, but reckless use of a firearm IS.

[Sean Reynolds]

45. You better believe shooting a pet is a crime! It's animal cruelty.

[Renew Deal]

55. It sure is

and there are lots more crimes. You can't fire weapons in public.

[radwriter0555]

117. Call your local animal control. This is cruelty to animals, and punishable

as a crime.

[Hobarticus]

135. Tell the police you fear for your life...

Anyone who'd blaze away at an animal and feel justified about it is dangerous.

How long before he starts thinking about your family? Not to be alarmist, but this kind of thing can spin way out of control, knowing this guy's unhinged to begin with.

I'd get the police on the horn, NOW.

[roguevalley]

53. god, honey. I'm so sorry. shooting in city limits is a crime. killing

animals is a crime. I think you can have the cops get him on these two things. I am so sorry.+

[rhino47]

88. Thank you for your compassion.

It did make the sting a little less sharp.
Sincerely

Repukes like this deserve to rot in jail, if not eternal damnation.

2. I am so sorry friend

poor kitty

asshole of a neighbor.. Please dont do anything to get your self in trouble

:cry:

Love those fundie values

[rhino47]

15. I would never let such a dick lower my expectations of myself.

I would never ever let someone such as him urge me to lower myself to revenge.I strongly feel life gets people like him.I would never have to lift a finger.He has to live with himself.
thanks CB

[rhino47]

90. Cb thank you for your compassion.

it did help.My girls read some of these posts and were awed at all of your compassion.

[Lavender Brown]

3. Oh God... I am so sorry.

What is wrong with people? I don't know what to say.

[rhino47]

92. Thank you Lavender for your compassion and empathy.

eom.

[Heddi]

4. I hope you have called, or are going to call the police

Oh I just see you called the cops and they did dick.

Call your local humane society or animal welfare league or ASPCA. They can help you out.

Animal cruelty is NOTHING to joke about, and especially using a firearm in such a way...certainly THAT is against the law.

I'd speak to a laywer as well and have that worthless peice of shit be responsible for your animals' medical bills.

I'm sorry you had to have your cat put down. Please do everything you can to ensure that the fuckwad that did this has to pay in some way (either legally or monetarily)

[rhino47]

[bobthedrummer]

7. Call your local police.

[dr.strangelove]

8. See if there is a ALDF

Animal Legal Defense Fund in your area. If not, call them and ask if there is an animal rights group in your area who can help. You can use both the criminal and civil law against this asshole.

[serryjw]

204. Here in Colorado this is a Felony.......

What state are you in? I am soooooooooooooo sorry. How can anyone hurt my furry creatures because the are angry at a human? I would honestly exercise the fullest extent of the law....This guy is dangerous.

What is kitty's name?

[Renew Deal]

9. At least he didn't shoot you.

Make sure he goes to prison.

[Zuni]

10. Call the POLICE immediately

send this motherfucker to jail.

If there is one kind of person in this country worse than a far right puke, it is a person who tortures or murders animals (especially cats)

:mad: :grr: :mad: :grr:

[underpants]

11. My god---call the cops

Ruin his miserable life.

[Not_Giving_Up]

12. Oh man, this guy has some issues!

The cops should be able to take care of this guy for you. Sorry about your kitty.

I guess he taught your children a valuable lesson about what assholes some people can be.

[AlCzervik]

13. You need to call the police, it's bad enough what he did to your cat

but who knows what or who will be next.

[rhino47]

29. I called the state police

We do not have local police.They took a report.They are charging him on animal abuse charges and also firearms charges.
The gun wasnt registered.His explaination was my cat was on his property.Well blood was still on the road as was one of the bullets.I gave a statement and my husband took over from there.

[AlCzervik]

34. not registered? figures, i'm glad you called and they are doing something

about it, i hope you don't have any more trouble with lunatic.

[ET Awful]

36. I don't care if the fucking cat was in his living room, it's still

animal cruelty. A hint for your neighbor: Even if it was HIS cat, shooting it is a criminal offense.

[Xithras]

122. Not always.

You do have the right to shoot your own animals, you just have to do it mercifully.

[ET Awful]

137. Actually no, you do not.

Animal cruelty statutes would still apply.

[Xithras]

160. Sigh, this is OT, but yes you do

Man, I almost don't want to respond to this in-thread because it's OT and doesn't apply to the parent thread at all, BUT: Look up the laws yourself.

Just about every animal cruelty law contains one of two key words that make it legal to put down your own animals..."maliciously" or "cruelly". There is no law anywhere that says that only vets are allowed to put animals down, and it is perfectly legal for homeowners to do it so long as 1) The animal does not suffer. 2) The animal isn't put down out of simple spite or malicious intent.

Yes, you do have the right to put your own animals down, so long as you do it humanely.

[ET Awful]

164. And pretty much any method that does not involve a painless injection

does NOT fit within those guidelines.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

We want to savor this fucker's misery. :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

The frist wanna be had warrents out on him.DUI x 2.I guess he didnt show up in court.

Can we put a webcam in his Federal Pound Me In The Ass Prison* cell?

154. Berha **singing "I Know That My Redeemer Liveth"** GREAT NEWS!

Take that, you cruel, evil bastard scum!

[proud2BlibKansan]

155. Wanted on DUI charges huh?

Was he drunk when he did this?

[genieroze]

198. Another cruel so called Christian, DUI drunk who hurts animals.

Who does this remind you of?

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

235. Dubya? Pickles? Frist? Somebody else? I see a pattern. (nt)

[commander bunnypants]

49. That would be an automatic 5 in VA

Project Exile..

What a nasty, ugly load of human crap

CB

[Modem Butterfly]

50. Post contact info for the District Attorney in your area

Surely 60,000 e-mails, phone calls, and letters will prompt him to prosecute this asshole.

[Renew Deal]

51. The bastard is gonna pay if that's the case.

Illegal weapon
Harming an animal
Firing a weapon in public
Using a gun to commit a crime.

There will probably be more and some of those are felonies. He will pay heavy for lawyers and even heavier in prison. Don't accept any plea bargains. Take everything you can get in a civil suit.

[JHB]

300. Maybe even "terrorist threat"

The guy has a history of religiously-motivated disputes with you, right?

Tell me the cat wasn't his way of "sending you a warning".

[jbane]

97. Please keep us posted on this...

I really want to hear you report back what happens to this ...person. I'm glad you are able to keep your wits about you. If someone shot one of my cats I might end up being the first one arrested. Let us know what happens.

[slutticus]

146. He admitted it?

He's toast.

That prick probably really believes he did nothing wrong.

ON EDIT: edited out some bad words. Just in case your daughter is reading these posts... *sorry*

[proud2BlibKansan]

153. Your cat was on his property???

What did he think, it was going to attack him? What a moran. I hope they throw the book at him. That is not consolation, but at least maybe you will get some comfort knowing he was made to pay for what he did.

Keep us posted on what happens. This is just terrible.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

171. In Texas you can only shoot an animal on your property IF it's a threat

to you or your livestock. Most of the morons who do things like this here don't know that and I have pressed charges before myself.

I also think you may want to pursue a civil suit against this jerk. Hit him where it will really hurt him, his wallet.

I am so painfully sorry your child had to see that. I am sorry your cat was shot. I'm really sorry that people like your jerk neighbor are allowed to own firearms!

[Liberty Belle]

218. It sounds like a hate crime.

He ranted at you about your religion and political views. Tell the cops you feel threatened. If they still won't arrest him, tell them you want a restraining order issued. Then if he comes anywhere near you or your family again, they can haul his sorry ass into jail.

Does he have kids? Call in social services and tell them he might be a danger to them.

If you know what church this so-called "Christian" attends, have a chat with his pastor.

He sounds mentally unstable. Is there a mental health office you can call? Can't they commit someone who is this crazy?

[ET Awful]

14. Animal cruelty is a felony in many states, as is discharging

a firearm within a residential area.

I suggest quick police reports and charges filed.

This sick bastard needs to pay.

[Zuni]

17. He has comitted several crimes already

It is time to take out this trash NOW.

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

16. To reiterate:

This is illegal. Call the police NOW.

Furthermore, discharging the weapon in a populated area is likely illegal also.

[frictionlessO]

18. oh geeze, that is just so fuckin' sad! please make sure evreyone knows

that this was a hate crime... pure plain and simple and make sure they know why...

Oh I am so very very very sorry for you, you have all my empathy...

[Kathy in Cambridge]

105. Why do fundies hate Catholics so much?

if it weren't for "us", they'd be no "them"

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

234. Maybe Catholics are too tolerant and kind for their tastes

You know, all that mumbo jumbo about helping the poor and being civil with other religions. This reeks of COMMUNISM! </loony>

[Stephanie]

260. Could this qualify as a hate crime?

To rhino: If you can document his anti-Catholic attitude toward you, maybe you can get more charges on him? This is absolutely appalling. Horrifying. So sorry to hear it.

[donheld]

19. Yes Please call the police

That is a felony in some states if i'm not mistaken. :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr:

[Maat]

21. Dear God - I'm so sorry for your loss.

I will be thinking about you and praying for the best during your time of grief.

About 20 years ago, I made a difficult choice. My pets stay inside at all times. There are too many nuts out there. But I do not mean to add to your grief.

I pray that you will be able to heal, and your children as soon and as steadily as possible. And I pray that either he or you will move from there! I hope that you never have to see that killer again!

[Beware the Beast Man]

22. Knee-jerk time:

If my neighbor did that to my pet, I'd have the urge to blow half his face off.

I'm so sorry. May Misty rest in peace, and may your neighbor be plagued with a flesh-eating bacteria on his rectum.

[PROGRESSIVE1]

33. I'm sorry that Abe Lincoln didn't FINISH THE JOB!!!

This country would have been a better place without these subhuman shitbags!!!

[pnb]

249. Funny

I didn't know Abe Lincoln started the job in PA. This situation is disgusting enough without people having to invent other reasons to seem indignant...especially when they are just venting their own biases that have nothing at all to do with the subject at hand.

[GRLMGC]

23. Sick motherfucker

That's so fucked up. I hope he's prosecuted. Fucking coward, taking out his idiocy on a poor, defenseless creature! I'm so sorry you had to go through that.

[underpants]

32. He sounds more DANGEROUS than sick

I'm not giving him an out here if he is willing to do that and do it twice he needs to NOT be on the streets (as it were)

CALL THE COPS!!

[Cerridwen]

24. I'm so sorry.

That's just awful.


:cry:

And now, because I can be a vindictive bitch when someone harms animals and kids; I strongly advise you to get a lawyer and sue the bastard for the mental anguish and trauma he caused your 6 year old. Make sure there is something in the complaint about a hate crime based on religion as well. I am not a lawyer but I bet you can find one to put something into action.

And again, I'm so sorry this happened.

[GOPFighter]

25. That just Sucks!

I can't even imagine someone doing that. Anyone who would do that to a pet cat should have their firearms confiscated. I hope he's not married or have kids. Sounds like he uses guns to settle his arguments.

[rhino47]

69. Hes married

Come to think of it if he was home then his kids were home.He has two kids girl 2 boy 1.
Omg I never thought of that.what if he shot my cat in front of his kids?Even if the kids didnt see him shot her they were home when he had his gun out fully loaded.

[Sequoia]

132. Maybe's he's the husband of that woman who threw the kitten

off the porch this past early summer that someone here posted about. Same family anyway.

[kostya]

220. That's not the worst of it. These sort of psychopaths usually have

a real problem with authority, thus they lard it over everyone else. I'd think about getting those kids some protection as well. It's very probable that child abuse and spousal abuse is going on in that household. - K

[China_cat]

26. I don't know where you are

but here in SC a man just got 40 years for dog fighting...most of it under the animal cruelty statutes. I hope you have something comparable. And I do hope that you will pursue it. This man is a danger to your community. Your cat now, but what's next? Who's next?

[rhino47]

79. I`m in rural western Pa eom

[China_cat]

80. Oh shit

Where? My family still lives in Butler county. (Most of them nasty)

[rhino47]

83. By Pymatuning Lake not too far from linesville spillway eom

that is not too far from butler.

[China_cat]

104. Yeah, on the north side

My family is mostly from Mars. Super fundies and I could see one of them doing something like this.

Don't think it is, though. If it was, I could probably give you enough dirt to get the ass to move.

[RPM]

162. Here's the law - have at the bastard

18 Pa.C.S. § 5511 (2004)

[rhino47]

225. Wow Thanks so much for the great posting RPM

I will press charges.More to the point that he kept saying (according to my husband) that it was just a cat whats the big deal etc etc.

[soupkitchen]

27. Make sure the cops know it's a "bias" crime

Using the Heading, "Man shoots my cat because I'm Catholic"
write every news organization you can. If the story gets picked up the local authorities will have to do a full investigation of the crime.

[Chicago Democrat]

145. Contact Police and Newspaper and get a restraining order

I am so sorry

[NurseLefty]

28. What a vile shithead!

I hope that your press charges against that sick sadistic freak!

[Metatron]

30. I am so very sorry for your family.

I truly hope that this fucker goes to jail. Please contact your local media, if you feel up to it. Animal cruelty stories are usually investigated quickly.

[sui generis]

31. I believe that gun laws are made for people like me

because I'd be over there with a sawed off shotgun shoved so far up that motherfuckers ass you could see the trigger if he yawned.

And I'd have some really nice daisies coming up next year . . .

Good thing I shouldn't have a gun.

[canuckforpeace]

35. Start documenting anything and everything

he says that is threatening or insulting to you. Word for word. Record date and time. I don't want to frighten you, but these types of assholes are not to be messed with. If he does anything to you or your family you will have a record to help back you up in court. I hope the police or SPCA can prove he killed your cat.

I'm truly sorry about your cat. I HATE these kind of people!

[superconnected]

37. Rhino47, I am so sorry to hear about your cat

My condolences to you and your children for having to be put through that. I know the loss of a pet is not easy.

Someone tried to poison my mothers dog in 2000. She wrote a letter and put it in each of her neighbors mailboxes. I hope you decide to make them aware of what happened. Their pets are not safe with that man in your neighborhood.

:(

[rhino47]

101. Hi super welcome to DU thank you for your compassion.

Im sorry to hear about your mothers dog.Your mother must rock though !!Putting letters in all the mailboxes thats just way too cool.

[lpbk2713]

38. I admire your restraint and self-discipline.

My mind would be racing right now on how one-up the SOB.

[mitchtv]

39. that is horrible, poor little animal

people that hurt animals are lower than child molesters IMO. Please keep us posted, and don't go near them, unless you are planning on burning him out(which I'd advise against , but understand the temptation).

[Mad_Dem_X]

40. That's so HORRIBLE!

Taking their anger and aggression out on an innocent creature! And have the nerve to claim to be Godly!!!

My heart goes out to you. I hope that asshole is punished. :grr:

[Dora]

41. I hope he dies of Ebola

or something like it. Perhaps the flesh-eating bacteria that everyone was afraid of a few years go.

I hope he has a long, drawn-out, pain-filled death.

I'm so sorry. Poor kitty.

[T Wolf]

42. trying to work "within the law"

will leave you frustrated because:

1) animals have no value in the law, except their economic cost. Unless you cat was a pedigreed one and you can prove it with papers and receipts, she is "worth" very little.

2) police and the courts do not want to "waste time" with things like this, especially if the killer is powerful.

I say this from personal experience. A "neighbor's" two german shepherds jumped a fence into our yard and tore apart our cat. Even though he had been cited previously for letting them run loose, nothing was done. I even went to court. And lost.

So, you are left with two choices - bury your sorrow and do as much as you can to help your children cope with the loss OR bury the asshole and then do what you can to help your children cope. Just don't leave any witnesses.

[northzax]

59. well, there is a difference between neglect

and active destruction. the cat won't have any financial worth, suing him won't help, but the state should nail him on firearms and cruelty charges alone.

[PROGRESSIVE1]

60. Oh why couldn't "rhino47" be a Russian Mob boss???

If he were there would be 1 less redneck in the world and the law would NOT matter in this case. Who wants to fool with the mob?

[mitchtv]

189. An Orthodox idol worshipper?

Ha!sounds dangerous

[ooglymoogly]

99. those are very different circumstances

a human directly shooting an animal out of malice that is a neighbors pet and not on his property is a different story. see an attorney its usually free for the first visit. and contact the newspaper and local television and try to remember all comments to you and the dates if possible. depending on where you are the police or sheriffs office might not do much unless goaded by the press. and then it will be up to the a d. a. so post his email on the this site and you will get plenty of pushy emails to the d a there is plenty of law to get him.

[ET Awful]

107. Actually, recent events lead me to believe that they DO take notice

such as the man arrested and sentenced to 30 years for multiple animal cruelty charges arising from dogfighting.

http://www.thestate.com/mld/state/news/local/10250988.htm

[baba]

222. You're right about that.

Re: "police and the courts do not want to 'waste time' with things like this, especially if the killer is powerful."

The publisher of the Seattle Times, Frank Blethen, shot his neighbor's dog a few years ago and got off with little more than a slap on the wrist. Assholes....

43. i'd adore to beat the living shit out of that psychopath

that is fucking horrifying

[MrSlayer]

44. I would seriously consider burning his goddamn house down.

What a piece of shit. This might be overreacting but I'm nutty about my cat. I really don't know what I would do for sure but it definitely would involve putting a serious hurting on this bastard.

My condolences.

[Beaverhausen]

46. He shot the cat TWICE??!! He belongs in jail

I'm so sorry about your cat.

That guy is really fucked up and belongs behind bars.

[Modem Butterfly]

47. Fuck that

What you need is a can of gas and some matches. When he comes out, blow HIS face off. Then, shoot him in the stomach.

:grr:

Sorry, that was uncalled for. A Freeper killed my dog a few years ago, and I tracked that fucker down and got revenge, but it didn't bring my dog back, and it didn't make us even, and I still cry when I think of what it was like to watch him die.

The best thing you can do is to make sure this fucker can't ever hurt another animal again. You need to make stopping him your personal crusade. Alert the media, all the media, insist he get prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Put up a big billboard in your yard with his name, address, and the words, "Shoots cats for fun," and make him sue you to take it down. Make sure everyone knows exactly what he is- a very dangerous man with a gun.

[Modem Butterfly]

57. Our yard guy left the back gate open...

...my baby got out just as I was coming home from work. Freeper sped up, swerved to hit him. I was less than five feet away- I could feel the wind from his truck. I kneeled over my baby in the road and all I remember was the make, model of the truck and the fact that it had a FreeRepublic sticker on the back. That night, I went to FR.com and started attending local events mentioned on their website (it's also how I found DU). Turns out this guy lived only a few blocks from us.

[Shakespeare]

68. Oh, man....then what happened?

Did you confront him or press charges or find some other means of revenge? I like all your ideas in the first post, btw. Some people are just lower than whale shit. What a subhuman monster.

[Modem Butterfly]

81. I'm going to have to plead the 5th on that point

I'd rather not say too much about what I did. Let's just say that he ended up leaving the neighborhood with all his limbs intact. There was a strange kind of satisfaction while I was doing it, but it left me feeling hollow and cold. In the end, it didn't change anything, it didn't even relieve my pain. But I was finally able to sleep through the night without having nightmares about him killing my dog, so I guess there was a measure of peace in it for me.

People may advise Rhion47 to let it go and get some peace. I can tell you from personal experience that there is no letting it go when something is this bad, and that peace is hard to find. The best thing she can do is channel her energy into making sure he never does anything like this again.

[Downtown Hound]

114. Heh heh

Don't know what you did, but I don't ever want to mess with you.

[Downtown Hound]

65. Great idea

or better yet, take a picture of the son of a bitch, paste it on flyers, and post them all over town. "THIS MAN KILLS CATS FOR FUN." Put his name, his address, and his phone number on it. Put a picture of your kitty when he was alive too.

I'm glad the cops are charging him. They should be able to tell that the bullet came from his gun with no problem. What a scumbag. If it was me, I'd actually be praying that the cops got to him before I did, because I think I'd knock him on his ass and stomp on his face until it smashed like a watermelon under my foot. Not the best solution I know, but god that would piss me off. I hop he goes away for a looonnng time.

[Modem Butterfly]

70. Truth is an absolute defense in cases of slander or libel

If the guy really did kill her kitty, and she posts flyers all over the place, he can try to sue, but he won't have much success.

This guy needs to pay and pay BIG. His pain needs to be on-going. He needs to be sorry he ever was born. It's illegal to make someone dead, but it certainly isn't illegal to make them WISH they were dead.

I am so fucking angry over this I can hardly breath. It's a good thing this guy isn't within driving distance of me.

[PROGRESSIVE1]

76. Too bad it wasn't a mob bosses cat. a hundred FReepers would...

[politicat]

54. Call the media.

Call the papers, the TV stations, the radio stations. This is the type of human interest stuff they love. They may be vultures, but the publicity will only hurt him and make it harder for him to hurt you. It would be rather obvious, after all, if he came after you, next after you've made a public stink.

56. OMG I am sick. I am so sorry. When I was a child a Mormon neighbor

shot my Siamese with a bb gun, and the bb lodged in his liver, sudsequentely killing him after two days of misery. another time this missionary to be kicked my tabby in the face, bending outward one of his front teeth which had to be removed-the vet said an injury like that could have only come from being kicked in the face. this kid went on to be a missionary a couple years later, to spread his own twisted version of love and christianity. HYPOCRITES!! they are going to rot in Hell no matter how much praying and repenting and church donating they do!

66. OH NO OH NO OH NO

OH NO NO NO
How awful!! I'm so sorry for you. This made me cry.

Asshole deserves to go to jail.

[Ready4Change]

67. By "bullet" to you mean the case?

Sorry for the loss of your kitten.

Is what you found a hard, solid bit of metal (bullet), or a thin skinned metal cylinder closed at one end and open at the other (case)?

The case holds the bullet and the gunpowder charge so the bullet can be shot. When the gun fires, the case is generally ejected and falls within 10 or 20 feet from the gun.

That means, if you found a case off of your neighbors property, it's likely HE wasn't on his property when he fired the gun.

Is there any prior history here? For example, has he made a request, written or verbal, that you keep your cat off his property? I ask this not to defend his action (I think there IS no defense for it) but because, should this get more involved, HE will use it in his attempted defense.

Do strongly re-notify the police. This kind of action is sometimes a prelude to even more serious actions. As bad as loosing a pet is, it CAN get worse.

Get the police. Let them know you feel threatened. If you don't feel threatened, wake the hell up.

Hope all turns out well (or as well as it can.)

[rhino47]

72. The bullet was lodged in the road.

The other one in mistys neck

[Ready4Change]

78. Ah, ok.

A bullet should glance off the road unless it's shot into it at a high angle. Basically you need to be standing on the road. (Not wise, either, as it's hard to predict exactly how a bullet will bounce away.)

Means he was probably on the road while shooting. Public road? I'd be concerned about that if I were a cop. Also debunks the "cat on his property" claim.

Please stay safe.

[rhino47]

85. We use the term "road" rather loosely here lol

Its a dirt road with tar and chip.It is not blacktop.

[Ready4Change]

95. You're "out there" eh?

:) Sounds nice. Hope to get out of the burbs myself someday.

Still true regarding the angles, only a bit less so. Also, to hit your cat in the head a second time tells me he's shooting from pretty close range.

This guys indifference to animal life might indicate a similar indifference to human life. That's why you need to take care and get the police involved.

[rene moon]

71. there's a special place in hell for him

Man, good thing I dont live near you----I am beyond pissed off. I am so sorry to hear about your kitty. May she rest in peace.

[Solly Mack]

73. what a monster

I'm so sorry.

I'm angry right along with you. Please let us know what happens. I want to know that piece of shit pays for this...

[MatrixEscape]

74. This is sad!

I am sorry for your loss of a pet.

People who don't have compassion for animals, especially pets, are potential sociopaths. Life is life. My two cats are two of my best friends, so I understand your sorrow.

I hope the legal aspect is succesful in teaching this cruel jerk a lesson.

[Trajan]

75. WHOA ! ....

FIRST: ... He shot the cat's face .... THEN: you took it to get THAT injury surgically repaired ....

and then AFTER THAT: he shot it AGAIN ? ...

and KILLED IT ? ...

Look: I am not a fan of cats .. but I am a HUGE fan of HUMANE ACTION ....

I am also a fan of putting ASSHOLES like this in their place ....

Do NOT let this go by ...

Do EVERYTHING in your power to bring this asshole to justice ...

If you have the bullet, then you have direct evidence of the shooter ... DONT LET the police brush this off ... DEMAND they act according to the law ...

Get a lawyer .... call the SPCA ... do EVERYTHING you can to bring this asshole to task for this horrid crime .....

This is sickening ....

[rhino47]

82. He shot Misty once.When he saw she was still moving

he shot it again.He might have shot at her a third time I can`t say for sure.There was one bullet in mistys neck.One bullet in the road.One bullet that passed through her body.

[driver8]

209. I have to say that I would beat the shit out of this guy...

I would not even think twice about it. Anyone who does what he did deserves it.

[Midlodemocrat]

77. I am so sorry that you had to go through that.

It is indeed a crime to kill a pet. Hang the bastard.

[Dastard Stepchild]

84. I am just so very sorry...

What a HORRIBLE thing to have happen to you, to your family and to your kitty. I am very sad to hear this, and angry as well.

[yardwork]

86. This is very serious!

I'm terribly sorry about your cat. The man is obviously insane.

PLEASE file a report with the police. PLEASE. The next thing he shoots might be a child.

I'm serious. There is a pattern of escalating violence among people who go off the deep end, and this guy's behavior fits the pattern. A person who shoots a cat twice will not stop at that. His violence WILL escalate. If the police don't know that you must insist that they become informed.

You may have to file a lot of paperwork against your neighbor. Please do it! File a restraining order. File a lawsuit. File charges.

Take care of yourself and your family.

[CatBoreal]

89. First off...

:cry:

I'm so sorry for you, for your kids and for poor Misty. I cannot believe that anyone could be so cruel.

Secondly, I hope you nail this fucker to the wall. Call the police, make flyers, write all your neighbours and put up that billboard. Let me know if you need someone to design this stuff. I'll be happy to do it for free.

Hugs.

[Dastard Stepchild]

91. A link to your Pennsylvania Anti-Cruelty laws

http://tarlton.law.utexas.edu/dawson/cruelty/pa_cruel.htm

5511. Cruelty to animals
(a) Killing, maiming or poisoning domestic animals or zoo animals, etc.--

(1) A person commits a misdemeanor of the second degree if he willfully and maliciously kills, maims or disfigures any domestic animal of another person or any zoo animal in captivity, or willfully and maliciously, administers poison to any such domestic or zoo animal, or exposes any poisonous substance, with intent that the same shall be taken or swallowed by animals, fowl or birds.

Little ditty about your criminal code:
http://members.aol.com/StatutesP8/18PA106.html

A crime is a misdemeanor of the second degree if it is so designated in this title or if a person convicted thereof may be sentenced to a term of imprisonment, the maximum of which is not more than two years.

Also - some links for your local ASPCA:
http://www.aspca.org/site/FrameSet?style=Animal


Go get that ass......

[rhino47]

106. Wow Thanks so much sjbech!

He was charged with animal abuse.I assume my hubby was referring to cruelty to animals.
I have to find about the gun violations though.I know the gun wasnt registered.I do not however know if pa has mandatory gun sentences or not.
I feel really bad for his wife.He treated her like dirt.She doesnt work.I am concerned what will happen to her if he goes to jail.She has two small children.

[Dastard Stepchild]

113. My pleasure...

I hope that you'll be able to get some resolution to this terrible situation. This guy sounds like a real jerk all the way around.

Here's the gun law info for ya:
http://www.bradycampaign.org/legislation/state/viewstate.php?st=pa

[RPM]

163. see my post above - sentencing is more strident...

... where a firearm is invloved

[Dastard Stepchild]

186. That's absolutely correct...

the presence of a firearm does change the scenario. The animal cruelty statutes are the bare minimum.

[MountainLaurel]

169. She might be better off

If this guy is indiscriminately shooting family pets, there's a strong possibility that he's abusive. Knowing that he could do this to an innocent animal might tell her that next time, it'll be her or her kids.

[WildClarySage]

257. Also should be more strict in sentencing if

hate crime can be proven.

I am SOOOO sorry about your babycat. This is horrible. I can't imagine anything so awful. The jerk will rot in hell, and don't worry overmuch about his family because they would be better off if he went to jail for a while. She might learn strengths she didn't realize she has.

[Liberty Belle]

223. He probably beats her and terrorizes the children.

She's better off without him, and so are her kids. Even if they wind up in a shelter someplace.

[Stephanie]

262. When he goes to jail maybe she will finally get the help she needs

If he's that crazy with a gun, I think it might be the right time for her to get some domestic abuse counseling. This guy's act of violence just might cost him everything. As it should.

[fortyfeetunder]

277. The kids should be taken away.

First, I am horribly sorry to read about that crime against your defenseless cat. Inexcusable.

Hope by now that effer doesn't even think to abuse any children or pets, especially others.

His kids should be placed in a foster home. Anyone who blatantly abuses animals will abuse kids. Nuff said.

[philosophie_en_rose]

297. Animal cruelty is one of many crimes here.

We live in an age where the unbelieveable happens, where people are empowered to do evil, and don't bother to hide it. Instead, they're proud, because they have power.

This is a crime against Misty, but it was also an expression of control and hatred of your family, Catholics, and liberals. He needs to pay. Perhaps the good of this situation is that his wife has the opportunity to get help and move on. http://www.aardvarc.org/dv/states/padv.shtml

I hope that you have the opportunity to share your daughter's letters and your own statements with the DA.

I'm so sorry for Misty. She didn't deserve to suffer, because of some asshole's disgusting personal issues.

[Dastard Stepchild]

157. Get your neighbors to write letters to the DA, if you can

DA's are usually ELECTED, and they are eager to appear tough on crime.

[President Kerry]

280. plus the damages for pain and suffering...

especially if your daughter saw this.. i'm very sorry

[jbane]

182. Good Job jsbech.

[Dastard Stepchild]

187. why thanks :) n/t

[kittycat1164]

96. breaks my heart rhino, I have 5 and can't even comprehend

what you're going through. My heart aches for you and your Misty. :cry:

[jmowreader]

100. Don't get mad, get even. Here's how.

Step one is to call the cops on him and have him arrested.

Step two is going to break your heart, but you've got to do it: Go back to the vet, get your cat and put her in the freezer.

Next, find out when his court date is.

And finally, attend his trial and enter your cat as evidence. Better, take your child to court with you and ask her to take the witness stand.

Your dickhead neighbor will get at least six months.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

102. Poor kitty! I'm so sorry-how is your 6-year old?

That fundie fucker probably traumatized your daughter. :cry:

You MUST call the police, and then sue the fucker for the vet bills and pain and anguish it's going to cause your kids.

My thoughts are with you and your family. :hug:

[rhino47]

116. Thats the part im really pissed off about my 6 year old is devastated

Shes in tears.Right now shes writing a goodbye note to misty .She drew a map to heaven so misty wont get lost.
I think she will deal with well enough.Hopefully.She was really angry at the neighbor and called him an asshole *sorry she got her potty mouth from me)
I am conflicted in how to deal with this.I did tell her that was why guns are very dangerous.I also tried to explain to her that hurt frightened and lonely people can do bad things.I tried to get her to see a bad deed doesnt make a bad person.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

119. That's true, but this guy IS a bad person. They do exist.

you should tell her he'll rot in hell.

You place a letter in all your neighbors' mailboxes about this guy-he committed a hate crime. Maybe you should report this to the ACLU?

124. How about the Catholic Defense League? NT

[Modem Butterfly]

121. I can't even think of how to deal with a child in this situation

Without going into too much detail, it was very emotionally difficult for me to deal with what happened to my dog, and I was an adult. I think that if you have access to a child psychiatrist or counselor of some sort (maybe your priest?) they might be a good resource for you. I do know that children are more flexible than adults and bounce back from traumas more easily than we do. I'll keep my fingers crossed for your family. Good luck.

[Darth_Kitten]

144. So young to have to learn people can be so callous....

and stupid. :mad:

[sleepyhead]

166. She drew a map to heaven so misty wont get lost.

Oh no, now I am weeping. Probably too late, but do you have pictures? If so, send them to your local paper and show them to the judge.

<<hurt frightened and lonely people can do bad things.I tried to get her to see a bad deed doesnt make a bad person.>>

You are a far better person than I. I have no sympathy for people like that. An ogre that will hurt a poor defenseless cat will hurt defenseless human beings too. I only hope that he has to confront his so-called god sooner rather than later. I calm myself by considering karma.

[realisticphish]

289. i am too

and i dont cry. im a big guy who looks like a biker, but i love cats, and i fucking HATE people that treat cats at all bad, let alone this bastard. i cant even imagining wanting to hurt ANYTHING, let alone a cat


:hippie: The Incorrigible Democrat

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

236. Teach her that's what religious fundamentalism turns people into

And yes, I too got moist eyes from the map thing. I feel like beating this sick motherfucker to death with my bare hands. Good thing I'm 6,000 miles away.

[Bouncy Ball]

103. What the #$%*($*%$(?????

Oh my GOD. That is just SICK.

[WindRavenX]

108. What a fucking asshole

There are no words to describe what I would do to such a twisted fucking sub-human like your neighbor.
Sue that fucker for all he's worth.
I would make sure he never fires a gun ever again for his fucking life. :mad: :mad: :mad:

[KDLarsen]

109. Find out if he's a member of the NRA

.. I'm pretty sure they'd love to hear what he uses his gun for. I know that most liberals aren't really in love with some of the issues that the NRA are pushing, but I do believe they (the NRA) have some pretty strict discipline when it comes what their members uses their gun for.

[realisticphish]

290. yeah

say what you will about the NRA, but they are all about safety, and not using guns for random destruction


:hippie: The Incorrigible Democrat

[CO Liberal]

112. PLEASE Tell us You Called The Cops On This Sorry Excuse for a Human Being

He deserves to get the book thrown at him.

[WindRavenX]

118. no he doesn't

He deserves to get half his fucking face blown off :mad: :mad:

[rhino47]

120. Yes police were called

he was charged with abuse(cruelty) to animals,weapons violations(gun wasnt registered) and outstanding warrants (two dui`s).
*on edit8
Did I mention that I help run the local justice`s last two campaigns ?

[CO Liberal]

126. Thanks For The Update

And hug your 6-year-old for me.

Wayne
(CO Liberal)

[bettyellen]

141. justice connection might be part of reason he dislikes you....

he's a loser drunk with outstanding warrants and you help justice in your town!
It sounds like you are everything this self hating prick is not. i cannot believe he has two toddlers and would endanger the security of his family like this by getting in more trouble.
Sounds like one of them piece of shit men who go getting women knocked up and then cannot deal with the consequences responsibly. he probably shot your cat because the baby was getting on his nerves or something. Hope he does some time and his family will be free off him now!

sorry that made me so mad, i forgot to say:
my sincerest condolences regarding your cat Misty.

[frictionlessO]

159. Rhino, again sorry for your loss... but if you think he did this

because of your beliefs and political persuasion (i.e. he has actually called you out for these things), than it is also a hate crime. Seriously consider this as another charge you may want to file against him, and like others here I urge you to do what you can with the media.

The police are your first line of defense the media should be you second.

prayers to you and your family tonight...

when you mentioned the map to heaven earlier I couldn't help but ball my eyes out... still crying... your pain is felt.

[American Tragedy]

215. Good, but he deserves worse

I'd love to know where the fucker lives. I'm generally opposed to vigilante justice, but I must confess that I have been known to apply "negative reinforcement" whenever I felt that the law was inadequate. When people perform acts of unbearable cruelty or destruction, it is most important to deter them from repeating the offense.

[warrens]

240. I hope they lock his nazi ass up but good

These assholes always seem to walk, though.

[AFSCME girl]

123. OMG, rhino47...

I am so very sorry!!! I am just speechless! :mad: I hope this asshole rots in Hell for all eternity. I am so sorry for you're family and your kitty, Misty.

I hate these people SO MUCH!!!!! I am a liberal, Catholic that volunteers for the Michigan Humane Society, so you tell your stupid, fucking neighbor that there's alot of us out there in this world and he better learn to live with us!!

Again, I am so sorry, rhino47

Love,
AFSCME girl

[GreenPartyVoter]

127. OMFG

Why the heck would he shoot a sweet little kitty?

[Sequoia]

128. I'm so sorry about your cat

and yes call the police, you might be next. I'd be in fear for my kids too. That guy is very crazy and should be thrown in jail.

[Cheswick2.0]

129. can they prove it was him from the bullets?

I hope he goes to jail.

[Blue_Tires]

130. you need to be careful

because you know his next logical step will be pointing the gun at humans (and shooting)

[GreenPartyVoter]

131. I say catch him yelling at his kids and call Child Services on him.

http://timeforachange.bluelemur.com/#shopping

[Guaranteed]

205. Right. That's why you kill him now. nt

[Flaxbee]

133. I'm so sorry.

Poor sweet little kitty.

I hope he is in deep shit because of the animal abuse, firearms, warrants, etc. issues. Obviously, you & your family be VERY VERY VERY careful; he does sound dangerous.

[graywarrior]

134. Wow. That sucks bigtime.

I would not be able to sleep tonight if it were my cat. In fact, I probably won't sleep tonight just thinking about this

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

136. I AM SO ANGRY

I'm so sorry. This jackoff must be reported immediately. Son of a bitch. Please accept my and my kitties' sincere condolences and RAGE.

[gollygee]

138. That is AWFUL

Big hugs to you and your child.

I'm so glad you called the police!

[Deja Q]

139. Sue the fucker for that atrocity. That or go old testament on his cat.

But a suit would hurt him more, I should think. Especially if he has no cat.

"fucking asshole" doesn't even begin to say what a malicious little satanist he is. :grr: :mad:

[progmom]

142. Naw - I think it would be best to leave any further pets out of this one.

Innocent pets and children.

[FizzFuzz]

195. nonoNOOO don't hurt anyone's cat

or dog or goldfish...
I don't care if it's Hitler's cat or Pol Pot's yak...never never NEVER use an animal for retribution. Animals are innocent.

get the animals out of the house and the wife and kids if they're innocent, and burn it down. With him in it.

:nuke:

[MrScorpio]

140. Cruel Rat-fucking Bastard should burn in hell

I'm too upset to say anything more

[Darth_Kitten]

143. Good God........

That guy is deranged, seriously deranged. :(

This is so sick on so many levels. :( My heart goes out to you and your family. What can/will the police do?

My condolences to you and your family. :hug: :(

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

148. Holy shit, Rhino. I hope instant karma comes to roost on this guy

like nobody's business.

And just in case it has trouble finding him, call the police get a lawyer and help karma along.

I am so sorry for your having to go through such an ordeal.

[Norbert]

149. Sorry to hear about this, rhino47

I am in agreement with averyone. Call the police. There has been crimes committed and you have the evidence with the 9mm bullet.

From my vantage point he killed a member of your family. I'm not a violent person but if he shot my dog like that I would be the one in jail for attempting to tear the guy apart. :mad:


On edit: I'm glad you called the police on him. Sounds like time in the pokey is a distinct possibility.

[judaspriestess]

150. I am soooo Sorry

I have two dogs and a cat.
Anyone and I mean anyone hurts my babies, they fucking DIE!!! and I mean this with all my heart. Evil motherfucker..........
kids and animals are angels here on earth.

Burn this pencildicks house down!!
Report him to the ASPCA.
personally I would beat him to a bloody pulp and cut his dick off.
don't let this go, slash his tires, please don't come back with oh don't stoop to his level, that is war and he must pay and karma lets not forget karma!!
I am sooo angry right now........
sorry, rest in peace ms. misty
karma will get him but please don't let this go. You go the route you feel you have to take. Like I said the jerk would get beat if it were me. I am sooo very sorry again.

[sakabatou]

151. So Sorry

I had a cat once. I think it was run-over by the construction crew and burried under one of the sidewalks. Of course I could be a nutcase.

Anyways, I hope that you can cope with this.

[Dying Eagle]

152. Tell me where he lives rhino47

I will shoot his ass, FUCK HIM. If anyone ever hurt my cat I would fuck them up so bad they would have to be put to sleep.

Fuck It rhino47, Kick his Fucking Ass. Let him see how badass a Liberal can be, KICK HIS ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Guaranteed]

203. I'm with you. Enough's enough.

Someone needs to take that guy out, for good.

[Catchawave]

156. Poor Misty and (((hugs))) to her family......

Here's a website you can get some information from. My concern is that monster must be stopped before he harms a human......

http://www.pet-abuse.com/

Good luck !

[sangh0]

158. Also, apply for an Order of Protection against this guy

and if he so much as sets a toe on your property, have him re-arrested

[StrongbadTehAwesome]

161. WHAT THE....?!?!?

:wow: :wow: :wow: :wow: :wow: :wow: :wow: :wow:

That is beyond sick and wrong. This person needs to be locked up as he's clearly not fit to function in normal society.

I'm so sorry for your loss...poor kitty! Stupid FUCKER!

[nytemare]

165. Could be considered a hate crime

I am sorry about your cat, and I hope your kid will be ok.

If he has displayed a repeated pattern of criticism towards your religion and political affiliation, I would write down as much as you can remember about it. I know the crime wasn't physically against you, but an animal can be considered property. The cat could be considered a surrogate for you in his deranged mind. With this in mind, I would consider seeing if you can get a restraining order against him.

Here is some info on the PA hate crime laws.

http://sites.state.pa.us/PA_Exec/PHRC/bias/bias_hate_crime.html

[kevinam]

170. I agree.

It seems to me he is, atleast in part, threatening harm because of your religous beliefs. Isn't he in a sense threatening all Catholics, that they should either convert, or watch out?? I agree about the restraining order also. This guy sounds like a real class act. The type of family values that I envy so much from the right.
Kevin.

[Stephanie]

263. I posted the same thing above

If he has been anti-Catholic and you can document it then throw some more charges at him. The charges you listed above are not sufficient, IMO. Let's get some more going.

[gypsy11]

167. I'm so sorry

How awful! I hope you and your family get through this, I'll keep you in my thoughts.
This monster that did this should be made to suffer, for a loooooong time.
I seriously wonder when I see things like this if there are not two different species of people walking around on this planet. Ones that have empathy and compassion, and ones that lack any kind of capability for emotion.
Fucking bastard. I hope he rots in hell. :grr:

[regnaD kciN]

168. I'm normally opposed to capital punishment...

...but when it comes to killing someone's pet, I'd gladly make an exception.

In fact, I'd happily finish the m*****f***er off myself, if I could. With my bare hands!

:grr:

[flamingyouth]

172. This is me at age 5 with my cat Abercrombie, in 1974

He was shot to death by our mentally ill neighbor, who thought the cat was "harassing" him. I'm very sorry for your family's loss.

[rhino47]

176. thats is so sad.sorry to hear that flaming

but really cute picture

[flamingyouth]

177. I'm just so sorry for your family's loss

I'll never forget how I felt when I found out about my little buddy Abby. :cry:

[TheMightyFavog]

183. Holy cow....

That looks like one of my boys back home...

[FizzFuzz]

197. ah god flamingyouth, so sorry

:cry:

why?
why?

I'd like to get off this planet now. I've had enough.

[CatBoreal]

201. Stop the world....

...I want to get off now.

:cry:

So sorry.

Cam

[driver8]

210. Oh man, that picture made me cry. What a gorgeous cat. n/t

[slutticus]

216. Wow. I'm so sorry. No child should have to go through that.

And that has got to be the cutest picture I've ever seen in my life.

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

271. I'm sorry, Lisa

I just read of your loss today. People can be such bastards.

[Raiden]

173. What an asshole!

I cannot for the life of me understand how people are capable of such cruelty. It isn't just that this fucker did this to your cat but that he left it where your kids could see it!

At any rate rhino, I hope that everything works out and this twat ends up in jail. Justice can't come swift enough for sick fuckers like him!

[UrbScotty]

174. WHAT?!

Oh my...

Son of a...

No!!!!!!

I'm crying right now. But other than that, I'm just speechless. :cry:

[strategery blunder]

175. This makes me sick.

:puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke:

I don't own a gun, but if I was in your situation, I can't say I would be as restrained as you are. Mr. Freeping Hypocrite's face, meet Mr. Hockey Stick.:grr::grr::grr::grr::grr:

That said, if he shot your kitty, and you took said kitty in for surgery, he should be liable for civil restitution for the cost of the surgery. No, I'm not a lawyer, but I didn't take business law in high school for nothing. You'll want to look into this, and PA law regarding punitive damages eligiblility, with a lawyer of your own...this is, of course, in addition to any and every criminal charge you can file.:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

Edit: The fact that he shot your cat a second time will probably weigh heavily on the jury, both criminally and civilly.

May God judge this "person" accordingly for destroying His creatures.

Hug your 6 yo for me; it's even worse when little ones have to see it:hug::grouphug:

[mtnsnake]

178. I feel so bad for you. There are few things sadder than cruelty to animals

I'm sure that your cat was part of your family, just like our cat is part of mine. How awful a sight that must have been for your kid, let alone anyone else to see. I really feel sick about this and wish there was something I could do to help ease the pain.

[PatriotGames]

228. Animal cruelty is pisses me off more than most everything else.

[2sheds]

273. ME TOO!!

Except probably without the "most".

What a horrible thing to happen. Rhino47, I'm so so sorry. Gah, I don't even wanna think about it! Argh argh argh!!

[Mz Pip]

179. This is sickening

To punish you for disenting beliefs by shooting your animal is beyond sick.

What did possibly think he would accomplish? Suddenly you would "see the light" over the body of your dead cat?

This needs to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

My thoughts go out to you. How terribly sad for you and your family.

Mz Pip
:dem:

[chookie]

180. This is fascist brownshirt behavior

The Brown Shirts gleefully targetted people's pets as part of their domestic terror campaigns.

You have bullets; he has a matching gun -- prosecute the mother fucker.

[legally blonde]

181. that is so horrible!

I am SO SORRY for your loss. :cry:

[Wcross]

184. This little dog was also shot....

He is the pup from a litter by my two oldest dogs (b-4 I adopted them). My neighbor Floyd( a farmer) took him in to live at his home on another farm south of here. Floyd is a republican but one of the good hearted ones. He stopped by to cut hay and brought the dog to visit with his old pack.(thats when I sbapped the pic) He had been shot in the leg by some idiot, the dog will never walk right again. This little guy is the size of a large cat, there would be NO reason to shoot this animal other than mental illness. If someone did this to one of my dogs I would end up in jail.

I am sorry for your loss, you need to help your neighbor get the help he needs.

[President Kerry]

282. heartbreaking..

anyone that takes out their rage at whatever on a pet, is a coward, and deserves to rot in jail.

[nini]

185. this makes me sick

I am soooo sorry you and your kids had to endure this.

I hope that bastard gets what's coming to him.

:hug:

[progmom]

188. Rhino, I am so sorry.

I know how a pet can be a part of your family, and I am just sick that you had to go through this. I'm so sorry.

And I am sorry that you have to continue to live next to this jerk. Does he own the house, or is he renting? Just wondering if there's any way to get him out of there.

:grouphug: :grouphug:

[PopSixSquish]

190. Good God, I'm So Sorry

If someone had hurt my dog, I'd be the one in jail.

Call the media, get your friends to write letters, put pressure on the cops and the DA and send this fucker to hell.

[FizzFuzz]

191. oh my god

:cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry:

I want to put a copy of this in the mail box of every goddamned fundy I work with.

God, I am so sorry, this is horrible.

My god, an innocent animal. My god, I am speechless.

Glad you called the cops.

oh god, please make it stop.

[qanda]

192. Oh my...

I'm so sorry. I hope your neighbor will pay dearly for what he has done and hopefully you won't have to see him after this-- he sounds dangerous.

[jukes]

193. i'm *really* sorry, rhino47!

your story made me so angry. i actually hate those people, & i'm surrounded by exactly-likes here in GA.

luckily, they're terrified of me, think i'm the DEBIL, or i'd prbly get the same. my cats stay inside for that, and other reasons.

my condolences, can't express how badly i feel for you, your child, & the poor animal.

won't even touch on the rage this awakens in me...


:cry:

[genieroze]

194. Move! I wouldn't want to live next to a nut like that with small kids.

[yellowdogintexas]

196. what an unbelievable loser

Everyone has already said all the things I would say, so I will just add

:grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: :cry: :cry:

[davsand]

199. I am sorry. I'm also angry as hell.

My heart to you and your daughter. This is just horrobile, and I'm so sorry you are living it.

I think you did the right thing to call the police--and it sounds like the neighbor is headed into a lot of trouble. Should you decide, however, that the neighbor is not suffering enough retribution, there are things that you can do to extract that last bit of satisfaction.

Now, I am not advocating this, mind you, but I do know a story about a guy who lost a cat when a neighbor put out anti-freeze for it to drink--then bragged about doing it.

He felt that the cat's death was a horrible and painful one. He also felt tht the rest of his upscale neighborhood needed to know what kind of guy this neighbor was...

He got a BIG jug of grass/weed killer (Roundup is what they market it as) and he wrote Pet Killer in 3 foot high letters in the grass in the guy's front yard.

What is an interesting fact about Roundup is that it will not only kill grass, but will prevent it from re-growing even if it is reseeded--for something like three or four years.

The guy paid a landscaper to come and sod his yard in order to get rid of the brown dead grass spelling pet killer in his front yard.

May your paths brighten, and if my story made you at least chuckle it was worth the telling of it.


Laura

[Nikepallas]

200. I am sorry for you BUT really sorry that your children had to be

subjected to that jerk

[Guaranteed]

202. Fucking kill him.

I'm sick of this shit.

[Elidor]

206. You are in our thoughts

All I can say is that you and yours are in our thoughts and prayers.

[212demop]

207. Your neighbor should be put to sleep. How terrible for you. So sorry. n/t

[Guy Fawkes]

208. People like that...

really make me wonder about "judge not lest ye be judged." I'm going to go right ahead and say that guy is an all out asshole and psychopath. He needs help, either from a cellmate named Gus or a psychiatrist...

[flvegan]

211. I'm very, very sorry. Can I have his address?

He'll get outta jail at some point (bond, etc). I'd like to go say hello...

[GoddessOfGuinness]

224. I'd like to join you...

But I don't care to say hello. I just want to give the sonofabitch a look he'll never forget.

[Bat Boy]

230. Oh, let's have a party.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

258. I'll bring the beer

We can have a bottle-flinging contest.

[Threedifferentones]

212. Here is where my lieral philosophies of peace and tolerance

get the urge to break down. I would not blame you for doing the same to him.

:nuke: :nuke: :nuke:

[RevCheesehead]

213. I had to stop reading the replies because I got too upset.

Let me just say that my heart goes out to you and your family. I have three cats of my own, and I can't bear to think of how I'd feel in your place.

Your poor kids. They don't need to see so much hate in this world. And there's NO excuse for that person's behavior.

My heart grieves with you. If I lived nearby, I'd offer to do a funeral for your cat (in all sincerity).

Peace be with you, and your whole family.

[CBHagman]

214. Please press charges.

First off, I'm sorry to hear what happened to you.

Second, the community is not safe if this monster goes off scot-free. He might pull a gun on someone else.

[Liberty Belle]

217. Call police, the SPCA, and animal control.

As a cat owner myself, I am sad for you, and angry.

You must take action to put your neighbor behind bars. People who abuse animals are prone to become serial killers, so do the world a favor and get this nutcase off the street.

[foreigncorrespondent]

219. OMG!!!!!

I am so sorry rhino! And I am so sorry your kid found the poor little kitty!

Well I hope he gets the book thrown at him for this. And hopefully they will find this asshole had priors for other stuff as well.

This man deserves to rot in jail!

[GoddessOfGuinness]

221. Poor kitty!

I'm so sorry this happened to your family!

Good for you for calling the police!
I hope he gets jail time.

[PatriotGames]

226. I am so sorry! What a fucking asshole!

This guy needs a serious ass beating.

[New Democrat]

227. Kill that mother Fucker.

[rhino47]

231. Hi New Democrat Welcome to Du

:hi: :hi: :hi: :hi: :hi: :hi: :hi: :hi:

[Bat Boy]

229. I am so sorry...

How are your kids taking this?

[messyca]

232. I'm so sorry!!!!!

I don't know what else to say...this makes me so sick. I hope karma catches up with him real soon! If someone did this to my cat, I would be devestated...it's times like this, that I'm thankful I have my cat close by.

I'm so sorry.

[rhino47]

251. Hi messyca Welcome to Du thanks for your thoughts.

[Arkana]

238. Glad you called the cops

although that might be too lenient for this fucker. Key his car, or put a liberal bumper sticker on it.

[RoyalPurple]

239. I am so sorry

We had a beautiful black lab that got out of the yard, and was shot. Poor baby crawled back home and died in my arms. We never found out which bastard did it.

I can completely understand how you feel. My son was the one who left the gate open, and he blamed himself for Duke getting out.

Call the cops, get the prick.

[skylarmae]

241. I had sensed this kind of potential evil off these RW people, but,

my dear Lord, what insanity is this? And to purposefully hurt the children!

Just hope this person doesn't have any connections in town. If he does, yours will have to be stronger connections, or brace yourself for this to be a case where justice is rendered nil. Unfortunately, 'no remedy at law' (for those of us who suffer at the hands of these people) goes hand and hand with the powers that be right now.

We have so much work to do to get things back on track. Good luck to you and your family. For what its worth, we're trying to 'have your back'.....

[MadHound]

242. You've called the police, and he has previous warrants, now then

Call two more people. First, a civil lawyer, so as to sue his ass off for harm done to you and your children(esp. the children, play this up and it will get you much more in punative damages). The second is to call a friendly reporter. Make this a huuuuge story in your area, to the point that this man is shunned. Most people, even Bushbots, are compassionate to animals, and if this man is shown for the asshat that he is, his life in your community will be miserable, and hopefully short.

You are showing much more restraint that I would be in your shoes. My pets are like family, and if some fool shot one, well, I can be very creative when it comes to vengance.

I'm sorry that this happened to you and your family, and you and yours will be in my thoughts and prayers.

[Carni]

243. The asshole could be going away for a LONG TIME

Contact the animal cruelty people and make an appointment with your counties prosecuting attorney -- you have the proof because of the bullet.

I would do everything in my power to make the POS's life VERY miserable from here on in.

[Gothic Sponge]

244. OMG! I'm so sorry!

I hate these "people"

[ghostsofgiants]

245. THAT'S fucked up on so many levels.

Wow...just wow...

[Pacifist Patriot]

246. OMG! That is horrible.

I'm glad you called the police. That is one sick man.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

247. I just read this whole thread..I am so sorry

[Guitarman]

248. I woul find a way...

to make that SOB pay! One way or another.

[Scout]

250. Why was your cat outside running loose?

No, of course he did NOT have a right to shoot it or abuse it any way, but why was your cat running loose unsupervised?

[rhino47]

252. I live in a largely rural area

My neighbor actually lives 3/4 of a mile up the road.By the main road where the bus stop is.The update is though.
He is being held on 100 k bail.He is unable to raise it thus far.
The weapons violation with the previous duis has him in big trouble.
He is charged with animal cruelty,unregistered weapon and probation violation.

[Beaverhausen]

253. Lets hope he stays behind bars

Again, I'm so sorry you have to go thru this but it sounds like justice will be served in this case. :hug:

255. Oh Lord...

I just read this whole thread. I am so sorry! If someone hurt one of mine.........ARRRRGGHH!! My condolences to you and your little girl and the poor kitty. (Left the cat out for your CHILD to find.....I'm speechless.)


Good to know he's in jail and in big trouble. May he stay there forever. Please keep us posted.

[ProfessorGAC]

261. Good!

While i'm sorry about what happened, seriously think about keeping the kitties inside. It's healthier for them, and this type of thing won't happen.

But, i'm glad he's behind bars. He's slime.

268. Glad to hear he's behind bars

and so so sorry to hear about your loss. This man is clearly mentally ill and a menace to society. He should be behind bars until he's either no longer a threat to himself and others, or until he dies.

Sending out good thoughts and prayers to you and your family

269. Well then, if we're any lucky

That's one less vote for the GOP in 2006 and 2008. Small consolation but you have to take what you can. :hug:

[Ready4Change]

272. Hope all goes well, Rhino47.

Please keep us posted?

[bloom]

276. That is good to hear.

He sounds like a scary guy. :scared:


:hug:

[Tight_rope]

284. Good that he is locked up...Let him pray his way outta this...LOL

[underseasurveyor]

285. Good! I hope it costs him everything he has

And he loses everything he owns. Including his freedom for a long,
l-o-ong, loooooooooooooong ass fucking time. I also wish for him that someone, someday rips the mother fuckers head off and shits down his scrawny chicken neck :grr:

I'm so sorry about your kitty rhino :-(

[elehhhhna]

295. You have probably done more good than you'll ever know...

his kids & wife need to escape from him NOW. That 100K bond should keep him on ice for awhwile.

Misty may have made the ultimate sacrifice resulting in the safety of 2 helpless children. Perhaps that was her mission. Pehaps her love of children extended beyond your own and to all...She is a hero!



Don't let your daughter read this next part, please...


If the schmuck DOES get out, could you accidentally post a phone number? I can already hear the haunting 'meow" hang-up calls from all over the country.

Edit: From another thread:
SKOWHEGAN -- A 26-year-old Fairfield man was sentenced to 18 months behind bars Tuesday for beating a 4-month-old wolf-hybrid puppy to death with his fists.

"People who would abuse or torture innocent animals are people who would do the same (to humans) under the right circumstances," Fowle said.

It was the second time in less than a week that a prison sentence was handed down for the relatively rare felony charge of aggravated animal cruelty in Fowle's jurisdiction.

[2bfree]

254. That's terrible.

I hope you get justice through the law for your poor kitty.

[derby378]

256. Take him for everything you can get

I smell a big, fat lawsuit...

[Debbi801]

259. OMG, I am so sorry!!!

That is terrible. Your poor family.

People can be so sick, it is incredible.

I hope they throw the book at him.

:hug:

264. I've been at DU for three years

this is the most fucked up thing I have ever read.

I'm sorry dude, this is just unreal.

[scarlett1]

265. Have you noticed that "Christians" or those who profess to be Christians

aren't very Christian.
The term to me always meant living your life as Christ lived. Turning the other cheek, accepting people like the tax collectors, and women of lesser repute.

Only Jesus or his Dad could throw that first stone.

[neverforget]

266. For a so-called "Christian" he certainly doesn't respect one of God's

creations. What a wacko! I hope he gets whatever is coming to him.

[Gayla]

267. I'm so sorry

for the loss of your kitty...I have 8 puppers and I know
how devastad you and your kids must be.

Please report this guy...he's off his rocker and is a
danger.

[mitchtv]

270. Hey Idol worshipper, It's time to

build a little shrine for Misty, complete with a statue of St. Francis of Asisi Patron of animals so it can be seen from his house.

[Valerie5555]

274. Some "moral" Christian he is

eom



Poor kitty, btw. :(

[salin]

275. Appalling and frightening how emboldened folks like this feel.

[rhino47]

286. I truly think you hit the nail on the head salin!

He was NEVER this bad before * won the election.I am not saying this was all political but I know he feels his point of view on the world order was validated with this past election.
An example would be he has a church bus he drives home sometimes (great huh with duis ??)he used to park it behind his large garage out of sight.After the election he would always park it beside the road.It`s as if he was saying "In your face"I might be wrong but I did notice that.
I would like to think it was just him.That its not an emboldened movement of zealots.The thought of all that rage cloaked in religion gives me shudders.I am sorrowed at the loss of my cat.I just hope I do not have to grieve for a greater loss.The loss of restraint and sanity in this country.

[pookieblue]

278. Oh No, I am so sorry to hear this.

I hated to hear about what happened to Misty and that your little girl had to find her.

What a sick jerk, to do that to your cat. I hope he gets the book thrown at him.

[lgardengate]

279. So sorry about poor misty. Only an evil turd could hurt a

harmless little pet. It makes me cringe to think about anyone cold and cruel enough to hurt someones pet. I would want to skin him alive.

IF the guy you suspect did this (or whoever did it) he needs to go to jail and pay you a huge fine.

Hope your 6 year old can get over this and that you all heal soon.I know it's to early now but when your ready i hope you find a pet you will love just as much and who will be a ray of sunshine in your world/family.

(I have had dogs most of my life and i think pets are important. Mine are family).

be blessed.

[ZoCrowes]

281. Just go shoot him in the face

See how he likes it the sociopathic sonofabitch. If he hurts an animal he is bound to hurt a human later on.

[Tight_rope]

283. I don't like animals...but I don't torture them...he's a sick fucker!

[cry baby]

287. Sorry for Misty and sorry for the trauma you and your family

have endured. It's just so sad.

[Baja Margie]

288. PM me your fucking neighbor's address

and I'll send him some feces in the mail.

Damn, that's a punishable offense in CA. Totally unacceptable, I haven't read all the replies yet, but file a complaint on the asshole.

I'm serious about sending him some shit.

[complain jane]

291. I'm with you.

I just read this and I'm sick. If it was my little pet I'm not so sure I'd be able to react in a legal/intelligent manner. Fucking scumbag, I can't wait until he gets his.

I'm so sorry about your cat. And I'm sorry we live with and have to tolerate these scumbags. My heart goes out to you. At least your cat's in a much better place than that piece of shit neighbor will ever be.

[complain jane]

292. That fucker wouldn't have a window left in his house if I knew where he

lived. So please don't tell me where that might be.

[Courtesy Flush]

294. Don't PM. Tell us ALL his address!!!! n/t

[Courtesy Flush]

293. This may have been suggested already (I didn't read all posts)

Why don't you tell his church buddies all about it. Fundies live double lives, and live in fear that the congregation will find out what they do on the other six days of the week.

Print up fliers, and include a color photo of the cat's injuries if possible. Distribute them on windshields in the church parking lot next Sunday. It can't be that hard to find out what church he goes to.

My brother is a fundy freeper. He'd shit if the people at his church learned what he was REALLY like.

P.S. I'm a cat lover, and I really feel for you. I think I'd have to get violent if anyone did that to one of mine.

[NewJeffCT]

296. wow, I am so sorry

What is it with these people? George Bush blows up frogs as a youth, now this guy shoots cats.

If he gets out on bail, I'd worry about your children. I don't think a restraining order would stop him.

[AntiCoup2K4]

298. What a vile fucking fascist piece of shit!

If it were me, I'd shoot back. This piece of shit is a danger to your family and any other sane people in the neighborhood. It would be an easy case of self defense.:grr:

[Wallflower_Liberal]

299. I'm so very sorry and angry that this happened to you

Not to mention your poor, poor kitty. I hope the bastard gets what he deserves.

[elehhhhna]

301. Here's a great way to pay Mister Neigbor back:

See this thread:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=105&topic_id=2177418#2177714

Perhaps you could order him some lit. from Saudi, thus ensuring the authorities attention forever...

[gingergreen]

302. Absolutely ridiculous!

I am sooo sorry! How low can they possibly go? Next time he might try to shoot one of your kids?!!
