    Exclamation Man Kills Teen for Walking on Lawn

    Ohio (March 20) - A man who neighbors say was devoted to his meticulously kept lawn was charged with murder in the shooting of a 15-year-old boy who apparently walked across his yard.
    Charles Martin called 911 on Sunday afternoon, saying calmly: "I just killed a kid."

    Police, who released the call's contents, said Martin also told the dispatcher: "I've been harassed by him and his parents for five years. Today just blew it up."

    Larry Mugrage, whose family lived next door, was shot in the chest with a shotgun. The high school freshman was pronounced dead at a hospital.

    Martin, 66, allegedly told police he had several times had problems with neighbors walking on his lawn. He remained jailed without bond Monday. His jailers said no attorney was listed for him.

    Neighbors said Martin lived alone quietly, often sitting in front of his one-story home with its neat lawn, well-trimmed shrubbery and flag pole with U.S. and Navy flags flying.

    Joanne Ritchie, 46, said Mugrage was known as "a good kid," but she always also considered Martin to be friendly.

    Wow. That's a bit much I think. I would've at least fired a warning shot to scare him off my lawn. Haha

    well a warning shot is something totally different. I mean hell, i've threatened the lil devil child that lives next door to not walk on my yard after dark, but i'd never shoot her!!!

    People take life WAY too seriously.

    Well yeah, that's what I'm saying. I wouldn't actually shoot someone for walking on my lawn. But I'd scare the shit out of them in a heartbeat.

    He went to far, way to far. But they did say he had problems with the kid before, a lot before. I think he could have called the law or his mom and dad before going that far. Now he will never get to see his lawn again.

    Yea, but did he have troubles with the kid because the dude is plain crazy or were they legitimate problems?

    I lay odds the guy was sick in the head paranoid but he surely knew he did something wrong when he called.

    To the cell with him.

    The reverse thing happened, here. Some yrs. ago a weird kid I went to high & grammar schools with, walked on someone's lawn. When he was yelled @, he stabbed the guy to death..

    Everyone probably has a potential crazy person living close to them - just give them the right circumstances and they become whackado !

    What odds, specifically on what.

    As sad as it is when a kid dies, I have a feeling the old guy snapped after years of dealing with a bunch of assholes. I am willing to bet the kid and his family ignored, taunted, and poked fun at the old man regarding his lawn.

    Why was the kid there in the first place? It was apparent to other neighbors interviewed that he didn't welcome anyone onto his lawn. A randomly named person describes the boy as a "good kid," wow. Had they said the boy was MR and didn't know what he was doing, that would be much different.

    2 shots from a .410 into the kids chest is very iteresting, the forensic report will probably give a lot more insight.

    Yea, snapped and killed a boy, then gained "reality" and called 911 to inform them that he'd just shot the boy That old man knew exactly what he was doing.

    I mean he just couldn't take it anymore, not that he didn't know what he was doing.

    I agree. It's probably one of those heard voices in his head telling him to kill situations.

    No matter what though, it's a sad, sad thing.

    Woe betide the cat that takes a dump in this guy's mulch. Or the dog that zizzes on the nearby firehydrant.

    Grass, now that's totaly defensible. The kid is likely to have brought in some foreign (ulp) dandelion or crabgrass seeds - horrors! What's a few ounces of buckshot, when a beautiful lawn is at stake?
    I loved going to strip clubs; I actually made some friends there. Now things are different for the clubs and for me. As a result I am not as happy.

    Customers are not entitled to grope, disrespect, or rob strippers. This is their job, not their hobby, and they all need income. Clubs are not just some erotic show for guys to view while drinking.

    NOTE: anything I post here, outside of a direct quote, is my opinion only, which I am entitled to. Take it for what you estimate it is worth.
