An arrest report lists Thompson’s occupation as a violinist who has performed with the Pinellas Park Civic Orchestra as part of its first-violin section. When asked why he destroyed the pumpkins, police said Thompson claimed he acted out of frustration because “someone was messing with him on Facebook.”

Despite all his rage, he’s still just a rat in a cage.

He’s an idiot - but a felony charge for $500 of pumpkin smashing? That’s ridiculous.

Cool Hand Aaron. Couldn’t find any parking meters, so he took it out on the pumpkins.

At least he did not use the pumpkins to smash a Geo Metro car.

Possible Facebook Entry that upset the Pumpkin Smasher:

“Hey, Aaron, I saw your YouTube entry for Felix Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto in E Minor.

OMG..Man, do you even know how to hold a violin bow properly?
My 5 year old shows more precise fingering when he plays the violin I bought him off Walmart for $45.00.

And that Rondo, during the finale, was so uneven and f*** disorganized. Were you attempting to be Ironic?
I sprayed beer all over my keyboard.You owe me a new keyboard, Bro!

Any-whoo have a Nice Day!

I guess Linus finally snapped after The Great Pumpkin snubbed him one too many times.

What if he correctly sensed that these pumpkins were evil?

I’m giving Florida Man the benefit of the doubt.

I suspect recreational pharmaceuticals were involved.

“someone was messing with him on Facebook.”

I can see why. That is one serious comb over.
