Worse Than The Cold Sandwich Killer

Holy Cow! Sent in from a reader is this wild news item:

Trial in Pa. Dirty Dishes Killing WAYNESBURG, Pa. (AP) - May 22, 2006 - A Greene County man is scheduled to stand trial later this morning on charges he killed his wife during an argument over dirty dishes. State police say 27-year-old James Petrie of Richhill Township, shot his 17-year-old wife Jessica with a rifle last July Seventh. Petrie acknowledges shooting his wife – but says he didn't believe the gun was loaded when he threatened her with it during the argument. Jessica Petrie died at Ruby Memorial Hospital in Morgantown, West Virginia, a few hours after the shooting.

Can you believe that? 27 married to 17? Who approved that and why wasn't pappy chasing him off the porch with his shotgun? Why didn't her mother teach her how to do the dishes correctly? Rinse them a little and put them in the "dishworsher". They were living wrong anyway. They should have switched to paper plates years ago. Balogna sandwiches taste better eaten off of paper and baked beans can be eaten right out fo the can. No dishes! Anyway - this isn't as close to where I grew up as Frazer and "duct tape" boy or the cold sandwich killer....but it's close enough. I guess in the end, if you get shot with a rifle by your husband over a dirty dishes dispute in the country or if you get a cap in your ass during a carjacking in the city...in the end...you're still dead and the manner in which death was facilitated isn't important. I think it's funny that his defense was that the gun wasn't loaded! So, I guess during an arguement it's OK to point a weapon at your child, I mean wife, and pull the trigger? The poor child is probably better off with her quick death than living another day with this abusive terrorist. If only she could have shot him.
