As I was web surfing today, I ran across this story on the msnbc website.
ELM MOTT, Texas - A Navy man who got mad when someone mocked him as a "nerd" over the Internet climbed into his car and drove 1,300 miles from Virginia to Texas to teach the other guy a lesson.
And the lesson you might wonder, psycho dude burns the guys trailer down......OVER SOME BS ON THE INTERNET. Luckily, the man was not hurt but he pretty much lost everything. So now this fool has been sentenced to 7 years in prison and has thrown his career away. And for what? Not a damn thing.
Now I know most if not everyone has been in a situation where you were pushed to the limit and got extremely angry with someone. I know I have (cue ex-boyfriend). Yes, I had thoughts of wanting to cause him bodily harm when he took it there but then I stopped. Why?? I thought about what the consequences of what my actions would be. I knew that I wanted to do something with my life and that having a record would make that extremely difficult. Plus, it.just.wasn't.that.serious. So after driving around, I cooled off and was usually so drained the only thing I was thinking of was getting in my bed and going to sleep. This makes me wonder, why did this not have the same or similiar affect on this guy. I mean after 1300 miles of driving, you would think some sort of rationale would have kicked in between VA and TX. Hmmmm, I guess not.

Yeah I heard about this story. I find it hard to believe but hey, s*** happens.
Well damn. ROFL!
Wow, I don't know what's funnier the fact that the navy man got that mad at someone clowning him online or the fact that the person who called him a nerd lived in trailer. It's a shame but it's also funny as hell.
@LadyNay, I know right!
@Creole, Exactly!
@FreakyDeaky, Get outta my head! I was thinking that but I didn't wanna write it. lol
