If you kill your TV, more power to you. But if you try to smash all the televisions in a department store's showroom with a hammer, there will be serious repercussions.Perhaps a bloody-faced Jerome Charles Eberle wasn't thinking about such things when he wandered into a Target last Saturday in Winona, Minn., and started whacking away at the entire selection of big-screen televisions while creepily chanting, "Hammer, hammer, hammer."
As the Thanksgiving-weekend crowd understandably fled the premises, the police entered. Then Eberle made a bad situation worse by swinging his hammer at the cops and getting himself tased.
After being charged with multiple crimes, including assault and destruction of property, Elberle was carted off to the local mental-health facility for observation.
Hopefully the good doctors will be able to get to the bottom of the 38-year-old's deep-seated animosity toward the boob tube.

Your comments give you the appearance of being illiterate. Where did you get the 70% figure? You don't know. That's your opinion not a fact. Your comments make you look so stupid.

I am guessing that if the savage that murdered four police officers was caught and brought to trial,a plea of insanity would have been accepted.
BUT! Let a police officer struggle with a three time looser and see if the courts will accept an insanity plea.More like the FBI will make certain he is locked up in the federal pen.

nope...gotta ban the hammers...only allow workmen who use them in their trade to have hammers and then they must be registered and licensed...and the rest of you will just have to drive nails with your skulls..............

Dodah001 did not say the culprit was colored. Yes, I read his remark, and found it tasteless, repugnant, and etc.
It happens all too many times that some people jump to conclusions without fact based thought.

Maybe he wanted a television and could not afford one. So he decided if he can not have one, then no one will have one. I would not do the same thing. But so my children would get over the fact that I can not afford Christmas gifts, I let them walk around Target, The Mall, Best Buy and yes, even WalMart to look at all the gifts they are not going to get. They get to hold stuff, play at the video game system that is set up. They get this out of their systems and life goes on.

I know exactly what happened:
On "Black Friday" he bought a new 60" wide screen flat panel HD LCD TV for a great reduced price that he had been saving up for, went home set it all up, including hooking up that brand new Blu Ray player he got a deal on too..inserted the DVD that just came in the mail from Netflix and low and behold... the letterbox movie still had those DAMN black bars! UUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGHHHHH! Enough to make anyone lose it!
