Thumbs up Is this a VK member from Georgia?

If they aren't from the forum, maybe we could still take up a collection to pay for his lawyer?

Cops: Man smashes 29 TVs with bat at Wal-Mart
February 11th, 2010 @ 5:57pmLILBURN, Ga.

(AP) - Police in Georgia say a 23-year-old man grabbed a baseball bat inside of a Wal-Mart and smashed 29 flat-screen televisions. Police in Lilburn near Atlanta have charged Westley Strellis with 29 counts of criminal damage to property in the second degree. Witnesses tell police he grabbed a metal baseball bat from the sporting goods section Wednesday, walked to the electronics department and destroyed the TVs on display. He was arrested not long after that. Police say the televisions are valued at over $22,000. Police say they do not know whether Strellis has an attorney.

I like that idea Sandy
I don't necessarily condone it either but I sure wish I was there to see it.

I don't condone such activity; but, I'd by lying if I said the thought hadn't crossed my mind. I'm still waiting to see Mark's instructional video on how to repair a flatscreen.

I had that thing out back and the neighbor kid was over playing with my daughter and I found that kid smashing it. She looked confused when I got mad, not because of the damage, because I said I wanted to be the one to smash it.
They turn up around here often with cracked screens ect. I'll find another one

And it's not even baseball season yet!

Wonder how many flatties died during the Superb owl when someone threw a football at the ref making a bad call?

I've got to email that to my friend who's always trying to get me to fork out for a new flattie. Mainly so he can flop on my sofa and watch it all day I think. Lazy bum!
