Birdwatcher who killed cat says he was shot at; leaves Texas

[-Jrabbit]

I must admit, it never occurred to me before that a birdwatcher might be armed.

I propose that Lorizael go stand on the porch for a while.

[Lorizael]

Someone calls Winston on his knee-jerk reaction and is threatened with violence. What a surprise!

[Ben Kenobi]

Evidently this guy is the Ted Nugent of the bird watching faction.

Slowwy's on a roll.

Oh awesome! What kind of catridge and what's the name of the game? Nintendo or Super Nintendo?

There's a timely (and lengthy) article on this guy in today's NY Times Magazine.

"Prosecutors said the cat was the pet of toll-bridge worker, who fed and cared for several strays."

Do they mean for several days?
Otherwise what does this mean?

EDIT:
Ok I'm dumb.
After rereading a couple of times I got it.
strays=stray cats.
I think I missed a word when parsing before as I didn't get this.

Cats that didn't live in a home. They lived outdoors.

Lul - Are you implying a "stray" /= "pet"?

edit - nm, DanS'd again.

He's in Texas... of course he's armed!

Who really cares about a stray cat? The problem is the whiny "pro-animal rights" people are fighting to keep strays alive so that they can starve to death in the wild or worse yet become a public nusance. Animal control should do a better job of rounding up strays, owners who actually abandon their pets are the ones who should be on trial, as should irresponsible owners who don't sterilize their pets.

Who really cares about a stray bird? As was said before, he could have scare the bird or the cat and prevented the death of either animal.

You do realize that if every "irresponsible" owner sterilized their pets we wouldn't have any pets, don't you?

ACK!

There'd still be professional breeders and we wouldn't have a problem with pet over population thus easing the expense on the tax payer to fund animal control projects.

Circumstances and Intent were irrelivent in all primitive codes of justice. For example if you built a house and the house collapsed and killed someone you were put to death just the same as if you commited pre-meditated murder. Society cared only about the result of your actions and not your character or state of mind. Disagreement over this principle continue to this day.

Not true. Most Western nations have done away with the death penalty. While the U.S. still has it, negligent homicide and felony murder cannot serve as a basis for the death penalty; rather, there must be "special circumstances."
