MIAMI (AP) -- A teenager was arrested early Sunday and accused of committing a string of gruesome cat mutilation deaths that had horrified residents of his Miami area community, authorities said.

.... Some of the dead cats were missing fur and appeared to have been cut with a sharp, straight instrument, police said.

.... Tyler Weinman, 18, was taken into custody early Sunday at a party, police said. Weinman was charged with 19 counts of animal cruelty, 19 counts of improperly disposing of an animal body and four counts of burglary.

When will personal responsibility EVER come in to play?

Not anytime soon, it seems. Still, we have a presumption of innocent until proven guilty, so now the law has to prove their case or he walks.

The so-called Mom, allowed her son to be out LATE AT NIGHT and unsupervised.

He is 18...and an adult. One does not supervise an 18 year old.

It is interesting that you say ‘One’

Obama is the ‘One’

To be a parent it takes an active ‘person’ to be involved. Unless you let the government fix your failures..

AS I SAID BEFORE... THESE CRIME TOOK PLACE MANY MONTHS AGO. The ‘so-called’ Mom was in charge and getting child support payments.

MY 18 YEAR OLD LIVES UNDER MY ROOF AND UNDERSTANDS MY RULES.

He is free to leave ANYTIME.

In my neighborhood, 18-year-old boys do not go anywhere without their mothers. If they do, everyone knows it is a bad mama.

“One” is a term used when discussing a subject in the third person and ONE does not want to or cannot refer to the gender of the subject.

Same in Dacula’s neighborhood.

But in the rest of the world, ONE gives 18 year old boys a bit of freedom, hoping that ONE has inculcated decent moral values.

Interesting that Mom was a Halloween Expert. In our neck of the woods cats get killed all the time around Halloween, especially in cemeteries. The cemetery guys are out early looking for cat remains around that holiday.

That’s what I figured. This kind of garbage is far less likely to occur in a stable, married 2-parent home with a strong, involved father present. I’ve met at least one of those “life coaches” and they’ve struck me as New Age-ish types- bet both of those “parents” are lib loonies and two votes for Obama;)

Duhh.

The ‘One’ was meant for the socially deficient people who believe that the government should be in charge of there spawn.

Well, I didn’t read any of the previous threads about this jerk. Couldn’t handle it.
It’s nice he’s been caught.
He should be skinned.....

I am sure that the Life Coach Mom was watching him on a regular basis. She ‘was’ a crime watch person and a Halloween expert.

That may yet come. The /b/tards only redeeming feature is their hatred of kitty abusers.

I don’t like pinging this kind of story, but I figured any freepers or lurkers in the area needed to be warned.

She’s a “life coach” who tranforms people’s lives with a 12 week program of psychobabble. Some older cached pages are still available — see links at post #116. Here’s an excerpt from on of the cached testimonials:

“I told Alba about my lack of self-confidence. When I spoke with her she told me that I was the one who didn’t have a problem and as hard as it sounds, not to worry. She said that it was the companies’ “loss” for not hiring me because I’m very good at what I do and English wasn’t the problem. She encouraged me and helped me to think positively. Her coaching helped me a lot. I know that she has a special “energy” about her and I love having conversations with her. Whenever I talked with her, I always wound up feeling good about myself.”
