JUNE 2--A Virginia man allegedly killed a kitten after the animal somehow disconnected a video game while he was playing it Monday night, police charge. Bruce Walston, 21, is facing an animal cruelty charge for allegedly killing his girlfriend's black kitten by throwing it against a wall in their apartment, according to the below Staunton Police Department report. Walston was arrested after his girlfriend, Bessie Hess, called cops about the incident, which occurred in front of her children. Walston told cops that he was "arguing with Bessie over the cats disconnecting his video game at which time he picked up the kitten and threw it against the wall." When police arrived at the couple's home, the dead pet "was laying on the front porch." Walston, pictured in the mug shot at right, was charged with animal cruelty and disorderly conduct, both misdemeanors. He was booked into the Middle River Regional Jail, where he is being held without bond.

1. what a POS. I have no doubt that he beat her or would have beat her.

He obviously has no regard for anyone or anything.

3. Yeah, like the kitty did it just to PISS HIM OFF.

What a dick.

[jayfish]

4. How was everyone involved not turned to stone? -NT-

46. I caught that too....

The Medusa Doo?

[joeybee12]

5. I advocate the death penalty for scum like this...n/t

[Codeine]

20. Really? The death penalty for killing a cat?

How many death penalties will DU be facing for cows, pigs, and chickens? :shrug:

[joeybee12]

27. Why not? At the rate this guy is going he'll eventually

turn to people...nip it in the bud.

[HCE SuiGeneris]

44. It's the violence and lack of conscience that marks this person as a huge danger.

He is twisted.

[saracat]

41. actually, I might too. My cats are my children. If someone killed a child like that, people would

demand the death penalty. I certainly would want him punished in the most egregious way possible.As other have aid, if he does this to a cat, children and adults will be next. That poor baby kitten. I hope a cat rips his throat out one day.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

47. I don't. But that's because I'm against the death penalty, period.

If I wasn't, maybe I would.

[bullwinkle428]

6. Sick bastard.

:mad: :mad:

[YOY]

7. Funny I had my cat do that to me all the time...

I most certainly don't remember doing anything more than laughing at Senor Gato and calling him a "Dumbass" (yeah I know...verbal abuse).

[awoke_in_2003]

23. "verbal abuse"

Nah, when you call the cat a dumbass, it is thinking "screw you, servant- get me some food" :)

PS Yes, I am a former cat servant (cannot say owner). Just need wife's permission to go to the shelter for another one.

[YOY]

30. Naw he really was a dumbass. He didn't want food. He wanted to play.

He was not one of those "too cool for you" cats.

He was awesome. Miss that cat.

[awoke_in_2003]

31. one of my buddies has a siamese...

it is the only cat that I have ever seen chase and bite its own tail. My buddy calls her a Jezebel, because when it is just him and the family at home, the cat is all over him. When I am over there, she ignores him almost completely.

[yella_dawg]

35. I do it all the time.

The asscat doesn't seem to mind at all.

[TexasObserver]

9. me-ow!

What a jerk.

[Deep13]

10. SWEETIE, DO NOT READ THIS.

People seem to be so callous. What a total bastard thing to do! And how engrossed in a video game can a person get? Isn't the normal reaction to laugh and watch the kitty play with the wires? (Actually, I would be afraid kitty might get a shock.) Asshole!

I remember I was on the dial-up internet in the '90s once when it suddenly disconnected. I was pretty annoyed and said something like "Now what the fuck is wrong with this thing!?" My wife looked behind the door where the wire ran and discovered that out rabbit, Jasper, had taken two bites right through the critter-proof cable wrap. I feigned outrage and said something like, "Jasper, you fluffy bastard!"

[loudsue]

11. How do you house train a rabbit?

I'd like to have a rabbit around the house.

[Deep13]

12. SAME THREAD. DON'T LOOK HERE EITHER.

By keeping them confined part of the day. Rabbits naturally set aside part of their warrens for turds. If you make a litter box and put it in the rabbit cage and put turds and urine-stained hay or paper in the box, they will start to use it. After awhile it will just be a habit for them.

[blondeatlast]

28. Agreed; works like a charm. I had a rabbit I'd actually leash and take for walks

to the utter delight of the neighbors (especially the kids).

[LeftyMom]

43. I used to do that too.

Mine never got too good at the box thing, but that's what the vacuum is for. :shrug:

[loudsue]

42. That is so cool!

I'm gonna adopt a rabbit! :hug:

[Blue Owl]

13. It better be "Game Over" for this criminal

lock him up and keep him away from animals.

[foxfeet]

14. It may take several years to happen, but when he goes,

I hope every cat in the neighborhood uses his grave as a litter box.

[Codeine]

21. AHAHA! I love it!

Now THAT is some poetic justice. :rofl:

[Arugula Latte]

32. & his face and genitals as a scratching post, right before he dies a slow, painful, lingering death.

:grr:

[Arkansas Granny]

15. I always fear that people who can kill or abuse animals like this could

do the same to children or other people who are weaker than they are. It just seems to be a natural progression.

[frebrd]

19. As far as I'm concerned......

killing the kitten was murder just as surely as if it were a human that he killed.

[Codeine]

29. Why murder to kill a kitten but not murder to kill a pig? nt

[MountainLaurel]

37. They often do

Abuse against animals is fairly typical in domestic violence cases, and threats (e.g., killing the cat as a warning to a wife who is also being victimized) are even more common.

[FBI_Un_Sub]

16. Jeffrey Dahmer started with kittens

and so did Bill Frist MD.

[AnArmyVeteran]

45. G W Bush killed animals when he was a kid

According to Bush's childhood friends GW killed frogs and laughed, just like he laughed at Karla Faue Tucker's plea for mercy. And then Bush went on to kill hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqis and 5000 American soldiers.

[City Lights]

17. Some people really suck.

This fuckface is one of them. :nuke:

[frebrd]

18. I hope someone throws him against a wall.....

and does some serious damage (at the very least - not my first choice).

[Dorian Gray]

22. I hope somebody throws him against the wall

next time he interrupts their conversation.

What a scumbag.

[awoke_in_2003]

25. I wish he could meet my buddy...

big SOB, grew up in biker bars. He is a scary person to behold. But he loves his cat, and would not cast a kind eye in this guys direction.

[awoke_in_2003]

24. damn, only a misdemeanor?

couldn't they have at least sent him to county?

"What are you here for?"
"I killed my girlfriend's cat."
"Oh yeah, I like cats".

One could dream.

[Dead_Parrot]

26. Guess we should be grateful it wasn't one of the kids

what a piece of shit.

[Arugula Latte]

33. What a scum-sucking worthless piece of crap he is.

:grr:

[Arkana]

34. Quit gettin' mad at video games.

[Rebubula]

49. LOLZ

That is harder than it sounds.

I have broken 2 or 3 controllers this year alone.

However, never said a cross word to the family or pets when I was pissed that the zombie won or the other team scored.

[Jim Lane]

36. That kitten gave its life to protect its family.

We can hope that the girlfriend, having seen how the guy acts, will have nothing more to do with him, thus averting the incident in which he hurts her or one of her kids.

[Skip Intro]

38. It's seldom I have an urge to take a baseball bat to someone's head

but scum like this...

[NICO9000]

39. Just a misdemeanor, eh?

Good thing he wasn't selling any POT! That's a felony!

Fuck the injustice system and the phony "war" on drugs (really just a war on us)

[BoWanZi]

40. What a creep. Karma is a bitch, ya know.

I can't stand people that mistreat animals like that.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

48. Misdemeanor? MISDEMEANOR?

MISFUCKINGDEMEANOR?

:banghead: :argh: :mad: :nuke:

[Ikonoklast]

50. May he meet a similar end.

At the hands of someone much larger the he, knowing nothing but pain and fear for the remaining seconds of his worthless life.
