Cops: Man holds his mom hostage for not ironing

Authorities have charged a 29-year-old man with aggravated assault and false imprisonment after they allege he held his mother hostage for failing to iron his clothes. Carroll County Sheriff's Office Sgt. Marc Griffith said the man remained in jail Wednesday without bond. The unidentified woman was not harmed in the June 30 incident.

Griffith said the man, who lives with his parents, wanted his mother to do some ironing because it was "woman's work." When she refused, authorities allege he pulled out a gun, and took his 51-year-old mother's keys and cellphones and refused to let her leave for at least six hours.

She eventually escaped and went to a police station. Authorities were able to get the man out without incident.

1. LOL !

[napi21]

2. OH MY GOD! That B..td's from Georgia! Villa Rica is a very

rural part of Ga, although it's not REAL far from Atlanta.

[cutlassmama]

3. LOL. His mama should have ironed him!

[Warpy]

6. Yeah, getting beaned with a hot iron cures entitlement

astonishingly quickly. Of course, the relationship is usually over at that point, even familial ones.

The ungrateful wretch needs to get out on his own, anyway. I hope Mom doesn't let him move back in after he gets out of jug.

[ck4829]

4. What kind of sociopath would treat his own mother like that?

Oh, title, right.

We're not sure he's a freeper, but I'm willing to bet 10 bucks this guy thinks the Muslims are out to get him, that he's got to avoid "the sodomites" because being gay is contagious, and that minorities are just being "uppity".

[lostnfound]

5. The poor woman. Not just the treatment but

knowing that your own son grew up to be such a complete and utter jackass.

[mopinko]

10. that's my first thought

might say something about me, i dunno.

[malaise]

26. No son grows up believing his mother is his slave

unless she facilitated that sense of entitlement. SHe probably spoiled him for 20 years and then told him to grow up.

[Poll_Blind]

44. My first instinct is to agree but I'm sure the possible things that led up to this...

...situation could get quite complex and may not have to do as much with the mother/parents as it may seem.

PB

[uncommon]

53. No woman grows up to become such a mother without

being taught that this is her place in life by the patriarchy.

[TalkingDog]

58. You just described the South in a nutshell...except for the telling him to grow up part.

I know men in their 60's, who don't live at home, whose mothers still cook for them....Men who have been married and divorced. GROWN MEN....

[Kalyke]

67. I'm a Southern mother and I don't coddle my son.

I'm so tired of Southerners being stereotyped on this board.

We need our own word - like anti-Semitic or racist or misogynistic - for people who continuously berate the South and Southerners without having one clue about Southern cities, which, like most cities, primarily vote Democratic (we just have more rural areas than the North, so our "blues" don't override our "reds").

[Goodnight]

68. Thanks for your post.

I feel just the same.

[TalkingDog]

69. Ummm Lady, I will challenge your "Southerness" against mine any

freakin day of the week.

I'm not just Southern. I from pure bred sharecropping poor white trash stock. "Bastard out of Carolina" could have been written about my extended family. My mother used to hang with Jr. Johnson and his cousins when they were still racing cars just to see if the police could catch them running shine. Long before they decided somebody would pay money to watch them do it.

If your experience is different, fine. If you don't coddle your son, great. Fan-bloody-tastic. Could you please explain that to all those women I grew up around...who still make plates for the able bodied men sitting at the table....after working in a factory all day then coming home to cook and are expected by those same men sitting at the table, to look nice....that they really don't have to do that anymore.

I'm sure they would appreciate it.

[Bozita]

7. Just another Baron of the Basement keeping his subjects in line

[DainBramaged]

17. Baron of the Basement

:spray: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause: :yourock:

[joeybee12]

8. This guy's not a FreeRepublic Poster...he's one of their MODERATORS...n/t

[Brother Buzz]

39. Potential DUzy material

:thumbsup:

[Ahpook]

9. Ahh wonderful

The "Get my beer, bitch" types never stop to fascinate:)

Probably is a FR freak? They will send prayers his way. He will eventually get them camos ironed, for god and stuff.

[virgogal]

11. Where did it say he was a Free Republic poster? I'm confused.

[ck4829]

12. He's probably not

But holding someone (Your own mother at that) hostage because she won't do something that is "woman's work" makes it safe to assume that this guy has other fringe views.

[virgogal]

14. Then it was an astonishingly misleading header. In fact,it was a lie.

[SunnySong]

15. Now hold on a second... them strong words.

lets look at the facts 29 years old... still lives with his mother... thinks Ironing is woman's work...


Sounds like the Free Republic poster child to me...

[nadinbrzezinski]

32. And off the top of my head

I can think of three other GENERAL groups that might apply to. This does not mean I will say this...

What this guy is... well a person that will face the criminal system, rightfully so, and that has more than a few issues. In fact may even fit the definition of CLINICAL mental disease... that does not mean I will use him that way. See the difference?

[badgerpup]

48. He'll probably end up on The Smoking Gun...

and thence to Friday FARK...where there will be a lot of witty and trenchant comments made at his expense...and photoshops of his mugshot captioned with "Penis goes where?"^TM along with other 'classic' TSG/FARK memes.

Much innocent-yet-bawdy* merriment will be had by all, and many folk will reflect that this is as good a deterrent to crime as any.
Watch your p's and q's and keep your nose clean, my child...or you too will end up being laughed and laughed and laughed at as a one of the long, sad list of "Penis goes where?^TM poster children on The Smoking Gun.
:nopity:





* Frankly, these guys can get hysterically funny :spray::rofl:

[grantcart]

20. humor, it was obviously a joke.

[treestar]

23. The humor impaired annoy me

:argh:

Especially when the humor is aimed at freepers and various other assorted right wingers! :rofl:

[backscatter712]

27. Nah, an educated guess! n/t

[mitchum]

35. Perhaps it would be "an astonishingly misleading header" if posted in LBN

but it was not

[REP]

45. Untruthfulness from Sunny? I'm shocked.

Oh wait. I'm not shocked!

[Dogtown]

51. No, it was a joke.

Lighten up, V'gal.

[nadinbrzezinski]

31. Yes and you could say that

read the damn rules please.

[madinmaryland]

16. OTOH, it doesn't say that the guy is not a FR poster.

Haven't ventured over there to see if they are moaning about one of their brethren missing.

:shrug:

[slutticus]

18. Yep. Definitely misleading. Not sure why this is rec'd so high....

[nadinbrzezinski]

33. And against the rules

[superduperfarleft]

56. Which specific rule did the OP violate? n/t

[IDemo]

13. What kind of gratitude is that?

After all, she did get the Cheetos stains out, didn't she?

[Ruby the Liberal]

19. Don't know about FR, but St*rmfront wouldn't surprise me

What kind of human being would treat their MOTHER this way, while living under HER roof?

People never cease to amaze me.

[Scurrilous]

21. LOL

:thumbsup:

[MineralMan]

22. Odd. I didn't see the FR reference anywhere.

[malaise]

24. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaah hahahahahah

You may be correct :rofl:

[nadinbrzezinski]

25. I hate to do this... but where exactly is the link to FR?

We may think that, but this is broad brush...

And I cannot believe I am doing this, but broad brush is well, ahem, against the rules of DU.

His acts are horrific enough

[SunnySong]

29. I certainly understand that it is against the rules to say a poster on Du is a member of Free

Republic...

And I understand that a broad brush such as White middle aged men are all Pillsbury Dough Boys is not allowed. But what is allowed are specific instances such as Andy Garcia and Ray Liotta are middle aged white men who (whom?) are Pillsbury Dough Boys.


So if I say this particular person is a poster on Free Republic that is okay but "now correct me if I am wrong" I should note that I am in no way am I insinuating all 29 year old men who live at home an kidnap their mothers at gunpoint due to poor laundry modus operandi.

So if anyone else on DU fits the description of the undoubtedly misunderstood chap above I do apologize for my broad-brush attack.

[nadinbrzezinski]

34. The implication is that all people still lving

with mom, doing laundry for them, who kidnap mom are free republic posters.

You and I have no way of knowing if this guy, who obviously has mental health and legal issues, IS a poster at that terrible site, regardless of the opinions posted there.

Logic 101... it is called a syllogism, and yes it does break the rules.

But I guess not to the point that people feel they need to so something about it.

[SunnySong]

37. Ah I understand your confusion you are mistaking a conservative republican to someone with a

with a mental illness... the Glenn Beck effect.


Here is your clue lets take the group grown men living with mother.


Now there are various sub-groups see.

Lives with mother cause laundry is womans work and no woman will date him... Free Republic.

Lives with mother because she is ill and you wish to take care of her... DU

Lives with mother who is dead stuffed and in the upstairs window. Wears mother's clothes... . alt.taxidermy.Usenet

Lives with a man who dresses like Sailor Moon whom he calls mother.... rule34.net


see not a broad brush there are different sub-categories sorry if my original post was not aperio.

[nadinbrzezinski]

41. And I am sorry if you do not get why this is

against the rules

[U4ikLefty]

40. You sure are bending backwards to defend someone or something.

...and it ain't "logic" or "the rules" IMHO.

[nadinbrzezinski]

42. Where exactly am I defending the offender?

Please point this out.

Now here you go as to the DU BOARD RULES


Do not post broad-brush, bigoted statements.

Now if you do not understand how saying that a person who will be convicted of false imprisonment, who obviously also has mental issues, is a FR member is not broad brush, I cannot help you.

I suggest you go read the rules yourself

http://www.democraticunderground.com/forums/rules.html

And that is what I am objecting to. The OP title IS broad brush. Got it now? Or perhaps not.

[SunnySong]

59. but are you broad brushing the mentally ill?

There is no indication that this person has any medical condition.

Some people are simply selfesh, stupid and entitled.

[druidity33]

47. mental health issues?

Why is that obvious? It doesn't say that in the short article.

Maybe he's just an unmitigated asshole.

:shrug:

[roguevalley]

46. I believe it was a humor that has got passed some people.

Humor. That is all it seems to me. :)

[eowyn_of_rohan]

28. He'd make a Great Poster Boy for FR!

[Canuckistanian]

30. Sorry, is this unusual?

I thought Freepers were arrested on a regular basis.

I apologize for the question.

[canetoad]

36. Unrec for untruthiness. nt

[uncommon]

54. Seconded. nt

[bullwinkle428]

38. SunnySong, you should have just said "Some say this poster is a member of..."

:evilgrin:

[SunnySong]

43. Your wisdom is noted and logged for future refrenance...

I would complain about the bizarre humor impairment above but honestly it makes the entire thread that much more funny.

[Rabrrrrrr]

49. That's no freeper. Freeps don't wear ironed clothing. It was another form of rightwing loonie.

[SpiralHawk]

50. Typical. Republicon Family Values.

Ptoooey.

[Xenotime]

52. The title of your post is a lie. There is no mention of FR in the article.

[superduperfarleft]

55. OP: YOU'RE A BIG FAT PHONY!!!! HEY EVERYBODY!!!! THIS GUY'S A PHONY!!!!!

I thought the headline was funny. The ones calling the OP a liar remind me of this guy:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xcCO6E4NUs8

[SunnySong]

57. The said thing is I look like Peter but without the ballsack chin. nt

[proud2BlibKansan]

60. Not funny. Doesn't say anything about Free Republic.

Fail for giving that website one more reason to slam DU.

[SunnySong]

66. Your kidding right...

Why the fuck would anyone care what they think...

[Bluebear]

61. I'm surprised so many are missing the humorous point and are so upset about this.

That is all.

[SunnySong]

63. Apparently it ois a broad brush attack on the basement dwellers whose mothers do thier ironing

without protest... who knew.

:shrug:

[ecstatic]

65. I think that might be part of it

They think the article is an attack on people who live at home as opposed to people who threaten and hold their moms hostage.

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

62. she escaped. he couldn't even hold a woman hostage at gun point.

[ecstatic]

64. Wow! What's with all the freep defenders?

:wtf: It was a joke people, lighten up! Besides, is someone like that more likely to be a member of DU or FR???

[Po_d Mainiac]

70. My wife would shut me off for a month if I didn't do her ironing in the morning

Ironing is easy...Have I got it made or what :thumbsup:
