Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Crazy F'ing people out there...

My stepfather has a small 'gentleman's farm'[doesn't live on it] but works it every day after closing his mechanical shop.
He had two white labs that live at the shop and go everywhere that he goes. A neighbor at his farm raises some kind of 'special' cats and stepfathers dogs would give chase if any of these cats ventured over[special strain of cat, yet he let them free-range].
Tuesday night the labs chased one of them home. Stepfather drove over to retrieve his dogs and the guy first put a pistol in his face, then turned and shot both of his labs sitting at his feet-point blank, killed both.
Then the guy took off just as my stepfather grabbed his pistol from his truck.
Interesting thing is that two Federal Marshalls were in on chasing him down along w/local Sheriffs dept.
His bail/bond hearing is sometime today and stepfather is going......I hope and pray he can control his emotions.

People are just F'ing crazy anymore.....

Holy Crap!!

The less human interaction the better.

Hope all goes well for him, I can't fathom what a [bleep] freak that dude is. It would have been difficult to have not made catfish bait out of him

Wow !!!, a loose cannon that needs put in jail.

I will say if someones dog came on my property, and mauled 1 of my kids...I'd shoot that fugger dead in front of the owner too, and probably pistol whip his azz at the same time.

Solution- everyone keeps pets on their own property. Simple.

Insane...

That is a disturbing story.

I assume this [bleep]'s house will burn down while he is in jail?

You're a fücking idiot.

And that's a disturbing reply.

That fellow needs to be in jail for a long time but the law is soft on people who kill your dogs. Makes no sense that a neighbor would do that unless there is some bad blood for other things.

I would too, but a damned cat? A damned cat that is constantly off it's owners property?

Grandad always made it clear:
3 things that you don't fugg with:
Other peoples
kids
money
dogs

I'd set up a conibear trapline on the farm with sardines as bait at every one of them.

Coyotes around here seem to get ALL the outdoor cats.

They didn't harm the damned cats, just chased them. Poor hounds. Look up harmful effects of feral cats on wildlife and see what you find. A dog may want to be a predator, but usually can't. Cats kill everything they can catch. Hence the "coyotes".

Thats nuts.


Glad it did not escalate too much....

Your stepfather needs to stay completely clear of that guy. That incident sounds so reminiscent of stories you hear told after a neighbor is killed by another.

Guy is definitely f'd up. No doubt he'd shoot your stepfather given the slightest perceived reason.

Through this process, I'd have your stepdad get a restraining order placed on the guy. Not that paper will save him, but in some states, him having a restraining order against him will preclude him from possessing firearms. Again, not saying he would abide, but if he doesn't, another reason for the cops to pick him up again.

Finally, your step dad needs to be armed and mentally and physically ready to shoot that sob the moment he breaks the restraining order and takes a step towards him. The guy has already made a death threat (pistol in face) so the fear for his safety is already there. The protective orders, imo, are just setting the table to allow your step dad or you to do what's going to need to be done in the future.

The only other solution is for your stepdad to sell and move away.

A "Special Cat"

Glad you Pa is in one piece. Hope they screw the SOB to the wall.

I've only had my Lab for 10 months. But somebody throwing a pistol in my face then killing my dog would cause an escalation.

I'm not sure what it would be. But there would have to be a price paid for something like that.

Sounds like the fellow was trying to hide something.......

I hear ya.

The guys a felon[maybe some federal charges sometime-marshalls involved] so he will hopefully be going to jail for a while.
He shot the dogs in the road, not his yard.
