Alarming Development
A Camry was brutalized in Simi Valley:
Okay, that's definitely extreme, but you have to admit you know where this guy is coming from, especially if you've ever lived in apartments. I think we've all been driven half-nuts by somebody's alarm going off for hours on end--though most of us don't pick up guns and start shooting at the offending vehicle, however appealing the prospect.
All of which is what makes this so irritating:
So you were there. And you heard the gunfire. Which means you could also hear the alarm going off, presumably for hours--at the very least long enough to drive this guy to violence. Then why the hell didn't you go turn the stupid alarm off, you clueless tool?
I hereby declare that everyone involved in this incident--up to and including the cop with the bullhorn--are idiots. They should all go to Stupid Prison, where they will remain until their I.Q.'s magically rise, or they die, whichever comes first.
Come to think of it, I've a rather extensive list of potential inmates. We're going to need a bigger building.
Much bigger.
A man annoyed by a noisy car alarm fired at least three bullets into a Toyota Camry, silencing the alarm and bringing out police who hauled him away in handcuffs, authorities said.

The owner of the Camry...was visiting a friend when he heard the gunfire at about 10 p.m. Tuesday...

"I didn't know what kind of mood he was in. I didn't want to say anything to him." Probably best in a situation such as this to not say anything. As for his mood, he was pissed off. How can someone say something reasonable after saying somthing stupid? * shrug * As far as him shooting at people, that's a leap. Assuming someone will shoot at a person just because they'll shoot at an inanimate object is a bit silly. I realize this is different than if he was just getting in some target practice but still.
I'm impressed that he was able to take out the car alarm in 3 shots! Nice shooting!
"I mean, that's not a safe guy. I mean, you get upset over an alarm, over a noise like that, (then) there's some little kids making too much noise and he decides to do something awful"
That IS a pretty big leap, even for a clueless asshat that can't understand why someone would be upset that a car alarm is going off outside his home. It may have occured to the guy to ask the car to stop making noise first, but I doubt it would have proven a very effective tactic. Shooting an inanimate object owned by a moron is a far cry from shooting a child.. I'm sure just waving the gun at them would have worked in that case. ;-)
