Yes, I think this could be funny, but it is right on the heels of the shooting in Tennessee - an out-of-work, 50+ man with hate in his heart walks into a church and shoots a bunch of innocent people with a shotgun.

This man looks like he could have easily turned that anger on people rather than the lawnmower, so it is more scary to me than funny - by a long shot.

LMAO I laughed soo hard this morning when My dad told me that was on the radio.

And he got arrested because he cut the barrel of the shotgun and it was less than 18 inches. (18 in. is the shortest it can be)

Nothing illegal about shooting a lawn mower.

But it is illegal to discharge a firearm in most city limits.

Hey if discipline and a good thrashing don't work what are you going to do, accept defeat by a lawn mower?

I don't think it's the least bit funny. I'm on my neighbor's computer right now because my laptop wasn't working this morning and I beat it with a baseball bat for an hour and now it won't even turn on.

Didn't know there was a law that says you can't shoot your lawn mower in your own yard.

Will the lawn mower have to testify in court?

I'm sorry, I know it could have been worse and all that, but it is quite funny isn't it?

Imagine how annoyed he's going to be when he hears "Anything not factory recommended would void the warranty" - doh!!
