Spokane man kills spider with brass knuckles

Spokane man kills spider with brass knuckles

SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — When a Spokane man found a big spider in his bathroom he went looking for a weapon to kill it and chose brass knuckles.

KXLY reports (http://is.gd/sldxHj) Nick Runyan posted the encounter on YouTube. It shows him hitting the spider twice — and punching a fist-size hole in the wall.

The brass knuckles were chosen for a youtube audience. A shoe would have worked fine. n/t Avalux Nov 2012 #14

I used to work at a flea market many years ago for a guy who sold knives, T-shirts and various flags. He also sold brass knuckles, but they were sold as paper weights.

the AP? The Associated Press?

By the way, this young man will learn that spiders exist in places other than Spokane.

I usually let spiders live and let live.

Hornets, damn they deserve to die. Go extinct even. Especially those big fuckers in Northern Japan.

But spiders? If it were a black widow, hobo or brown recluse, they're going down.

But any other kind - they can go free.

Hey,
The killing of a spider makes me much more sad than cutting down a tree for Christmas. Is something wrong with me?

Peace

Anytime I see a spider, that critter is history. Mainly, because I am terrified of anything with a lot of legs. i have an awful fear of live crabs. But I will eat them if they are dead and on a plate.
