This is actually two week’s worth of stuff and it is still pretty short.  I guess that the mild summer is taking a toll on people acting like crazy idiots.  Not all of them, though.

Guy Blew up a Dog But he’s not Going to be Charged With Killing the Dog

Now let’s be clear – this guy is completely nuts. He blew up a dog because he believed it was possessed.  Normal people don’t have a tendency to do that sort of thing.

He’s charged with possession of explosives but not with animal cruelty.

In some places, this means the same thing as “beware of the dog.”

Why not?

Because the dog died instantaneously and therefore did not experience any pain.

Now look, the guy needs to go a mental institution because he’s pretty clearly fucked up.  Animal cruelty or no animal cruelty, he’s quite a few bullets short of a loaded gun.

You have to wonder about a law, though, that won’t allow you to charge someone with animal cruelty when you blow the animal up.  Pain or no pain, that seems like a pretty cruel thing to do, doesn’t it?
