Heroes Arrested!
Oh, the humanity! Someone finally fights back against the animal uprising and they throw them in jail! What is this world coming to? Two men kill an ostrich assassin and they get dragged to jail for it.
REDWOOD CITY — Two men face felony animal cruelty charges after they allegedly fatally shot an ostrich at a ranch near Half Moon Bay on Halloween.
Timothy McKevitt, 19, and Jonathan Porter, 20, both pleaded not guilty Wednesday to the animal cruelty charge and misdemeanor possession of a loaded firearm. Porter also is charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm, as he is currently on felony probation, according to the San Mateo County District Attorney's Office.
The two men and some friends were reportedly drinking on Oct. 31 when they trespassed on the ranch. According to the district attorney's office, one of the ostriches attacked the group, injuring the suspects.
The suspects reportedly ran away, but later returned to the ranch with a rifle and shotgun, which they used to fatally shoot the ostrich.
Well, I suppose it is California, after all.

“The suspects reportedly ran away, but later returned to the ranch with a rifle and shotgun, which they used to fatally shoot the ostrich.”
Wussies. Typical Cali wussies. They ran away and came back with two guns, instead of dealing with it like real men dealing with one “pájaro que no puede volar.”
Aye Caramba! If it wasn’t for Oakland, you might as well paint the whole state pink.

So, what made them heros in the first place?
Heros carry themselves with dignity. They do not stoop to low-life tactics of violence and revenge — especially with guns. Animal cruelty is not part of a hero’s character.
So, tell me, what made these two heros?
Sign me as Puzzled….

bigfanx, perhaps it would help if you viewed the “animals” archive. This is part of an ongoing theme here. That might help explain it for you.
