Where are those two mice?
Bird man ‘shot neighbour dead in dispute over cats’ – Law – Times Online — And they say Americans are violent nutballs. Here’s where we got it from.
“Mrs Rondel was a cat-lover and she had long believed that Mr Stockton had been poisoning her cats. He was a pigeon-fancier and he believed she was aggravating his pigeons.”
The jury was told that Mr Stockton was “partial to a pint of ale chased down with a short”, and that he was convinced that Mrs Rondel had been responsible for burning his pigeon loft in the summer of 2005.
After spending much of Boxing Day last year drinking at a nearby pub and a working men’s club, it was alleged that he took a Beretta shotgun from his gun cabinet late that night, loaded it with three cartridges, and went to Mrs Rondel’s semi-detached property in Audley, north Staffordshire.
After shooting out her security light, Mr Stockton was said to have blasted the lock off the kitchen door before shooting Mrs Rondel in the chest at about midnight. She was found dead at the foot of her hallway stairs in her pyjamas.
That is so awesome!!!
I don’t even know what to say about this. This is better than the the old guy who went berserk after the kids wouldn’t stay off his lawn.
I know. I know. We live in a pretty emotionally detatched society. And I am the last person who should criticize people for finding humor in tragedy. Plus, comedy is just tragedy with a punch line anyway.
But as I understand it, this woman who had two cats, was simply and unexpectedly shot and killed around midnight one night by a neighbor. I don’t know if she was married, had living parents, children, or friends… But I’m willing to bet that someone misses her.
I find this story to be saddening… As opposed to, you know, awesome.
The Cat Lady VS the Pigeon Guy…
Now we know who won 😉
Angel H. Wong…
Ah, they say cat’s have nine lives… but what about the owners? If pidgeon dude ends up getting anally raped repeatedly in prison, who really won?
Now, the English are notorious for their school manners (read. friendly buggery), so the victor remains to be seen…
Anyhoo, pidgeon dude was probably just a nutter anyway.
OK,
Bats in the belfry??
Of Pigons in his coup..
Justice would have been kidnapping the cats, and feeding them to his pigeons.
The English have such delightfully demented ways of committing the most wicked of crimes.
Here in America I doubt we’d be allowed a “working man’s club”.
