Navy Man Gets a Little Upset at 'Net Troll

Actually this qualifies more than a little upset, more like a little off the wall. Let this be lesson however to all those left wing internet trolls that like to anonymously flame peoples' blogs or forums figuring there's no comeuppance at the end of the day.

You might just meet a crazy nut like this guy who holds grudges apparently against people who call him names from afar.

Man Burns Down Trailer in Online Feud:

My Way News -"ELM MOTT, Texas (AP) - A Navy man who got mad when someone mocked him as a 'nerd' over the Internet climbed into his car and drove 1,300 miles from Virginia to Texas to teach the other guy a lesson.

As he made his way toward Texas, Fire Controlman 2nd Class Petty Officer Russell Tavares posted photos online showing the welcome signs at several states' borders, as if to prove to his Internet friends that he meant business.

When he finally arrived, Tavares burned the guy's trailer down.

This week, Tavares, 27, was sentenced to seven years in prison after pleading no contest to arson and admitting he set the blaze.

'I didn't think anybody was stupid enough to try to kill anybody over an Internet fight,' said John G. Anderson, 59, who suffered smoke inhalation while trying to put out the 2005 blaze that caused $50,000 in damage to his trailer and computer equipment." continued

Looks like he thought wrong on that one. He'll probably tone it down though the next time he starts name calling on the net which those libs love to do, mostly when so far away and seemingly hidden from their targets at least so they think. "

You just never know who's on the other end of these communications sometimes and you need to think twice just as you would in person who you pick fights with, a nut case like this just might be on your doorstep before you know it.
