Angry Milwaukee man allegedly shoots lawn mower

Fri Jul 25, 3:26 PM ET

MILWAUKEE - A Milwaukee man was accused of shooting his lawn mower because it wouldn't start. Keith Walendowski, 56, was charged with felony possession of a short-barreled shotgun or rifle and misdemeanor disorderly conduct while armed.

According to the criminal complaint, Walendowski said he was angry because his Lawn Boy wouldn't start Wednesday morning. He told police quote, "I can do that, it's my lawn mower and my yard so I can shoot it if I want."

A woman who lives at Walendowski's house reported the incident. She said he was intoxicated.

Walendowski could face up to an $11,000 fine and six years and three months in prison if convicted.

A call to Walendowski's home went unanswered Friday morning.

Like he said, his property, his lawn mower, his business! A nosy neighbor and God damned intrusive government, and this is what happens.

I really doubt he gets 6 years and a $11,000 fine, though. There's got to be at least one member of any jury who considers what he did somewhere between justified and not worth prosecuting/harrassing him about.
