So this guy in Kentucky has a garden and the rabbits are playing hell with his desire for a endive salad with a bit of raspberry vinaigrette.  Maybe a little chèvre sprinkled on top and a garnish of shallots.

Anyway, so the guy goes and gets his air gun and starts mentally planning braised rabbit with mushroom sauce and a perky dry white wine.

And while I will admit that an air gun is not the most humane way to dispatch rabbits, in Kentucky a man has to do what a man has to do to bring the culinary arts into his home.

A neighbor sees what’s going on and apparently believes he is the neighborhood watch captain for the ASPCA.

Rodney Wold

That angered 64-year-old Rodney Wold, a next door neighbor. When Wold saw what his neighbor was doing, he allegedly went into his house and armed himself with an AK-47 assault rifle that was loaded with 19 rounds.

“If you want to hunt something, you can hunt men!” he allegedly said, pointing the gun at the victim.

I do not know if Mr. Wold has an NRA membership card but I do know that he has a bed because that’s where the police found his AK47 – between the box springs and mattress, the world’s safest hiding place.

He was charged with first degree wanton endangerment and second degree needing to calm the hell down.

Thanks to Lindy for the heads up.
