[zhelas]

OCONOMOWOC, Wisconsin (AP) -- A man says he broke into an apartment with a cavalry sword because he thought he heard a woman being raped, but the sound actually was from a pornographic movie his upstairs neighbor was watching.

Up to 33 months in jail for that?! That's utter rubbish. Sure, he could have done something a bit different, perhaps less aggressive -- but what if a girl really WAS getting raped? What if YOU were the girl getting raped? Would you rather have someone call 911 while you're continually suffering, or would you rather have a fucking J.E.B. STUART BUST DOWN YOUR DOOR KOOL-AID MAN STYLE WITH HIS SABER EXTENDED AND ADVANCING THE FLAG OF DIXIE.

I fancy the fellow, and I hope he doesn't get jailed.

He needed to make the rescue in his own particular idiom.

:yeahthat:

That had to be some pretty loud porn.

[Methais]

I bet the guy just finished watching Pulp Fiction when he heard the noise from upstairs.

[The Ponzzz]

I almost was served for 9 months in prison for menacing. They don't fuck around. Displaying a weapon in a fashion to use it on top of B&E is a major felony.

[Alfster]

I've had guns drawn on me twice from cops...

The first they thought my paintball gun was a real gun (granted it was like 2 in the morning)

The second was when we had a relatively large suburban bb gun fight. All we got out of that was our BB guns taken away and a discharging a firearm within city limits ticket.

I'd disagree with cops not fucking around when displaying a "weapon".

The video in the article is priceless. Someone needs to coach the reporter to learn how to insert 'allegedly' into the report when she's covering the alleged incidents involved with the complaint.

And the victim... ROFL, the porn addict is scarred by the incident so he's now concerned with what each knock at the door might bring (perhaps federal agents or local authorities when the PRON he plugs in happens to review less than legal participants); but thats not going to deter him from watching the PRON with surroundsound... unless he's got his headphones plugged in. He should just man up and drop the charges and have the 'living with mom-sword weilding-too broke to own a phone' vigilante protector of woman's chastity fix the door. He's the real loser in this since most women who hear/see the story probably wont go near him with a 10 foot pole. Now if he were banging his girlfriend and the guy downstairs thought that she was being raped, and kicked in the door.... now THATS worth bragging about.

:lol:

Iono.

In the past I would have concured, but I know @ least 2 girls that get louder the worse it is, because it helps them get off on themselves.

Please we both know Mexicans don't goto college.

Anyway if you're watching porn loud enough for your neighbors to hear it and think your raping someone you deserve to have your door kicked in.

:yeahthat:

I definitely agree that if I were the woman in that situation, I would want someone to try to stop it if they could.

I would think the guy upstairs should drop the charges if he was playing his pr0n so loud that he scared the neighbors.

If you were beating off, would you want a man charging at you with a sword? Methinks not, I doubt he'll drop the charges.

SWORDFIGHT!

"My name is Diego Montoya, and you are about to die."

[The Ponzzz]

I don't think I'd watch porn anymore if that was the case.

[Bobmuhthol]

Diego?

Racist.

[Gan]

hahaha, my bad. Its Inigo Montoya.

<<If you were beating off, would you want a man charging at you with a sword? Methinks not, I doubt he'll drop the charges.>>

The guy showed up 10 hours after the fact.

[Sean of the Thread]

The complaintant and witness statements in the article referenced above said it happend while the movie was playing.

The article at CNN does not state any sort of time frame, regardless of it being implied.

This article does.

Here's something interesting. I Google'd James W. Van Iveren (the sword wielder) and look what I found.

Man accused of threatening landlords
Thursday, September 21, 2000

Waukesha -- An Oconomowoc man fighting an eviction notice wrote letters falsely claiming he was a State Patrol lieutenant and threatening to "charge" the landlords, according to a criminal complaint filed Wednesday.

According to the complaint, which charged James W. Van Iveren, 32, with impersonating a police officer:
When Van Iveren and his mother were told they would have to move out of the Oconomowoc apartment building in the 140 block of W. Wisconsin Ave., James Van Iveren began harassing the landlords.
