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.

I’d love to see this kid get a good old fashioned Texas ass-kicking myself.

She was also focused on Halloween and became one of the best Halloween sites on the net.

Were they black cats?

Is she a Satanist?

Interesting that you brought that up. I smooshed an ant hill when I was about 5 and instantly regretted it. The old "do unto others as you would have them do unto you" popped into my head. The thought occured to me - what if that had been my house? These particular ants weren't bothering me, weren't invading my house and never would, so why did I do it?

Hoping for change, I guess. :-)

OK, so I was an unpopular, weird kid who spent too much time looking at things that seemed to go unnoticed by others... born conservative and therefore heartless by definition.

But now I'm an adult who considers property rights one of the sacred pillars of liberty. Maybe that's because of the ant incident. More likely religion which is why there was guilt to feel in the first place. Now ants give me the opportunity to address property rights with my neices and nephews, and if all goes well and they respect such rights, they will never find themselves doing such things as this young man is accused of doing.

The left's figured out that a religion based on love and selflessness is an obstacle to them, so they work to erase that kind of faith from the lives of children, while cultivating world views that are based on guiltless or even entitled self gratification. I hope the left doesn't ever figure that when thwarted directly, God can indirectly use ants and other weak things as emissaries for his messages. If they discover that, they will, in the interest of senseless change, start making kids feel good about squishing ant hills and empowered about screwing up the lives of defenseless creatures, so the kids will grow up to be good little socialists with no qualms about killing the defenseless and nationalizing the wealth of others ...

Frankly, I don’t see a reason to bring his mother into this. There’s no indication that she knew what was going on.

My irony meter just spiked on comparing this statement to your tagline of post #49.

Cheers!

Praise God that they finally caught him and hopefully before he started killing humans.

Better they had caught him before he killed the cats.

Humans can defend themselves better.

Cats are innocent and much littler than him.

It’s unfortunate he is 18, they probably would have been able to keep him longer if he was still a juvie.

I disagree, a juvi arrest will be esponged(sic) when he turned 18. This will follow him around for life (especially when future employers use google to check up on new hires). I also want to see him in prison with Bubba the cat lover.

I say bull. Parents know what their evil kids are doing..maybe not all but they know something is not kosher.

Yeah, well, now I’m an adult and I murder mice, rats, voles, moles, gophers, and possums. With the logic used by people on this thread, eventually I’ll be murdering kittens and puppies and then on to people.

Ge me a break! You cannot understand the difference of exterminating mice from your house versus skinning an innocent cat alive?

Excuse me? I guess that offended you. You would prefer to ignore the millions of babies killed and join the crowd crying for these cats. Because everyone loves cats and theres no debate there.

So GTFO here yourself. Take your false caring and eat some used kitty litter.

How does showing outrage for cat torture indicate lack of concern for aborted babies?

“How does showing outrage for cat torture indicate lack of concern for aborted babies?”

Did I say that? No, I said its sad that this same level of outrage doesn’t take place for babies.

Then I was attacked by someone who evidently felt guilty.

Why did you even feel the need to post in this thread? Like I said go peddle your BS in a thread with the relevent subject. Besides, what are you doing about the “millions” of babies “killed” every day? My guess is nothing but running your mouth. Go ahead an offer up your paycheck and take care of all of these babies.

“Why did you even feel the need to post in this thread?”

because its offensive that the same outrage isn’t displayed by folks like you in the abortion threads. That was my first thought upon reading this thread.

‘Go ahead an offer up your paycheck and take care of all of these babies.”

Just as I thought, you’d rather the babies die as long as its no skin off your back. But a cute fuzzy cat is worth caring about.

That’s your own fault if it’s offensive to you. Does it offend you that not everythinks like you? Don’t worry about what we care more about. I swear social conservatives are just as tyranical as the damn liberal left.
