Man Attacks Inflatable Pumpkin
Status: Weird News - True
Do you ever feel like if you see just one more fake giant inflatable pumpkin, that you're going to go mad and attack something? Apparently this guy did:LLOYD, N.Y. -- A woman says a neighbor attacked her inflatable Halloween lawn display of three ghosts and a giant pumpkin, then apparently smashed his head through her window in a fit of rage. State Police said officers found a drunken John Odee, 43, inside Dawn Garcia's house in the Hudson Valley town of Lloyd on Thursday night, arrested him after a brief struggle and charged him with burglary.
Garcia told the Middletown Times Herald-Record she heard hollering and swearing and looked outside to see Odee struggling with the giant pumpkin. "He was enraged. I could see that," she said.
When she yelled at him to go away, Odee charged the house. She fled through the back door with three of her children and heard window glass breaking. She called 911 from another neighbor's house. Police said Odee used his head to smash a window to get in.
"What made him do that, I don't know," Garcia said. "We had the same decoration up last year and it didn't bother him."

My sympathy is entirely with Odee. I hope that when Christmas comes, he attacks those godawful glowing Santas and reindeer and elves that get placed on every lawn. Decorations should stay inside!

I'm guessing he's fundamentalist.

I wish I could get one of those inflatable lawn decorations. But sadly I live in a condo and there's not enough room for one.

Maybe he didn't attack last year because he hadn't reached his threshold of tolerance yet. There are a lot of decorations, ads, whatever that I see a few times and am OK with but after a while, sometimes a very short while, I am willing to take my battleaxe to the person(s) responsible.

Actually, the guys name is Linus and he was yelling something about "Great Pumpkin, my @$$!"

Ok, ok, all the inflatables ARE irritating, but what did the window do to him?
