Florida's Stupid
Lay off the cigarettes
Today’s blog is the perfect example as to why you shouldn’t smoke — other than the fact that it can kill you.
According to an Associate Press Article, Darren Daniels, 22, was so angry his wife took the last cigarette that he strangled and killed a pet rat. Now I don’t smoke, but I can’t imagine a nicotine craving so intense that I would feel the need to bang a rat’s head in and strangle it.
Naturally, Daniels’ wife took off and hid the moment he started coming toward her.
Daniels then attempted a not-so-sneaky escape and was chased by the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office.
Daniels had gusto though, he wouldn’t pull over, so police had to resort to using stop sticks— instruments used to deflate tires.
He’s currently being held in Volusia County on $3,000 bail. He may want to consider staying in his cell though. Especially if PETA finds out what he did to that rat.
I'm a fourth year journalism student and have absolutely no idea what I want to do after graduation. I have unhealthy obsessions with celebrity gossip and "Harry Potter." I hate "Twilight" and anything to do with vampires. I'm currently the University Desk editor at the Independent Florida Alligator where I have the pleasure of dealing with Student Government, campus events and UF administration.
