Alabama man shoots his TV because he's sick of hearing about Caitlyn Jenner

Caitlyn Jenner is back in the spotlight after she received the Arthur Ashe courage award at the ESPYs Wednesday night, but for one man, it was the last straw.

Jenner, who came out as a transgender woman in April, has received plenty of backlash ever since ESPN announced that she would receive the award. Alabama resident Bobby Knight has had enough of her, and he wants to “remove this portion of garbage [from his] life.”

Instead of, saying, hiding Jenner’s name from Google search results or avoiding news articles about her, Knight took more drastic action. Since she appeared on his TV, he took his TV outside and shot it.

ROFL!

[Cololeo]

I am too, but I learned that there are channels out there that don’t sensationalize the destruction of our society.

Since she appeared on his TV... Since “it” appeared on his TV.

Agree with the guy, that “thing” is all over the place.

Cant say I havent thought about it....but I’m 4th gen American-Scot..(not scotish-american)...which means I’m frugal(cheap)... and I cant justify having to replace it.

I just turn the channel instead....lol

Seems at least not-unreasonable.

after she received the Arthur Ashe courage award at the ESPYs

"She" received no such thing, because "she" is a he. DNA does not lie.

Freak show !

He must be looking for torment. But then, all I watch is the 6 PM local and 6:30 PM national news (I’m on Eastern Time) and then stuff on Netflix. The only freaks I see on TV is when I’m binge watching The Munsters.

was the guy liquored up? Shooting the TV, sounds so stupid, just change the channel or turn it off. Does anyone Remeber Michael Keaton in Mr. Mom, where the TV repairwoman, states “ I found the problem shoe in her hand. You look at the TV with picture tube busted wide open, there is no way somebody using their foot could cause that much damage

I would puke now but have already thrown up breakfast on an earlier post..lol

[Praetorian]

With over a dozen replies, I am surprised that I am the first to ask what his Free Republic handle might be.

It is still a “he” and will remain that forevermore. Howbeit, a surgically mutilated "he". The surgeon[s] that perform these operation on these idiots, male and female, should be prosecuted for mistreatment of the mentally retarded and have their license[s] to practice medicine permanently revoked.

[left that other site]

I shoot the TV all the time, but I just make sure it’s dry fire.
