Did her screaming (not actual girl in movie) make him rush to the rescue?

Yeah, this has been all over the webitubes for the last few days. But there’s a kicker of a factoid that came out today that makes it all the more weird.

Swordsman’s claim disputed

The pornographic DVD that was being played in an Oconomowoc apartment doesn’t square with a man’s claim that he thought he heard a rape in progress before storming into the residence with a sword, a prosecutor said Wednesday.

Osborne said the decision to file the charges against James W. Van Iveren over the Feb. 11 incident primarily boiled down to his reported beliefs and actions being unreasonable.

Ya just can’t win for doing the right thing. OK, so, where’s the weird part?

But if Van Iveren was attempting to rescue what he thought was a woman in danger he was “obnoxiously late,” said Stieghorst, who said he watched the movie between 1 and 2:30 a.m., but Van Iveren did not burst into his apartment until about 11:30 a.m.

And what will the movie watcher do in the future?

Stieghorst said the incident will not change his movie-viewing habits. “No, way; I’m a man and I’m a normal person,” he said. “But I think I will get some good headphones, maybe some wireless ones.”

    Ok Uncle Dave,

    Who’s the girl – and where can I buy her movies?

    A sword!! He had all night and thats the best he could come up with?? What was wrong with his dialing finger. 9-1-1.

    If that photo of the testosterone-poisoned would-be avenger hasn’t been Photoshopped, then one look tells me all I need to know about him: potential psycho murderer…

    Oh yeah… who is the girl?

  4. TJGeezer says:

    Wonder if they tested the guy for drug use. Rushing into someone’s apartment with a sword hours after hearing a movie scream sure seems like a freaked-out paranoid meth-head thing to do.

    Should I be concerned at the number of times i’ve been able to read an article both once in my state’s local news, and then again on dvorak.org??

    On Wisconsin Wackos!
