Guilt of the Day 4/15/09: File Under: You Can't Make This Shit Up

Mothers take note: beware the next time your kid threatens to bust a cap in yo' ass if you don't give them $2. They're probably not kidding.

A guy by the name of Fred Bertrang slashed his mother with a knife and then proceeded to fire several rounds from his AK-47 into her leg because she wouldn't give him $2 for cover at a bar. Hasn't this guy ever heard of pan-handling? Taking advantage of his friends? Getting paid for oral sex down at the truck stop? I'm sure some combination of those three things could have gotten him his $2, without the need for firearms.

Sadly, our dear friend Fred lacked the good sense to hob some knob for $2 and instead decided it was a better idea to inflict harm upon others. I can relate. Last week one of my co-workers was making this really annoying sound with his fingers on the keyboard before I'd finished my coffee, so I picked up my letter opener and stabbed him in the eye until he stopped moving. Actually, I'm just kidding - the annoying sound part never really happened.
