It's a matter of stupidity

Gaylord the Ostrich

Two morons gunned down an ostrich named Gaylord last Halloween after the drunken losers trespassed on the ranch where the bird lived and he kicked them in self defense. Their teenie weenie egos were hurt when their girlfriends laughed at them. The bozos were sentenced to jail terms today.

"The whole thing is about male pride" said San Francisco prosecutor Steve Wagstaffe.
No...the whole thing is about puny brains. And quite possibly tiny testes.
RIP, Gaylord. At least you got to kick 'em. Too bad it didn't knock any sense into them. But they obviously don't have brains enough to get sense knocked into.
