Online feud gets ugly as man burns down opponent's trailer

ELM MOTT, Texas - A Navy man who got mad when someone mocked him as a "nerd" over the Internet climbed into his car and drove 1,300 miles from Virginia to Texas to teach the other guy a lesson.

As he made his way toward Texas, Fire Controlman 2nd Class Petty Officer Russell Tavares posted photos online showing the welcome signs at several states' borders, as if to prove to his Internet friends that he meant business.

When he finally arrived, Tavares burned the guy's trailer down.

This week, Tavares, 27, was sentenced to seven years in prison after pleading no contest to arson and admitting he set the blaze.

"I didn't think anybody was stupid enough to try to kill anybody over an Internet fight," said John G. Anderson, 59, who suffered smoke inhalation while trying to put out the 2005 blaze that caused $50,000 in damage to his trailer and computer equipment.

How many times do I have to f**king say it?


Internets: SERIOUS MOTHERF**KING BUSINESS!
What can you do to end the hunger?
It's no surprise that many will die with the coming shortage of food
When there is no grain to feed the butchered cows
When there is nothing to feed yourselves...
Then you will see that money can't be eaten.

More people like Russell Tavares is what the US Military needs to fight in Iraq and Afghanistan. lol

Quote from:  Grim Reaper
I agree that a few US soldiers have done some horrible things to Iraqis. This is in turn should naturally make some Iraqi fearful of US troops and that's perfectly fine.

At least people will think twice bout calling someone a nerd
DreadNaught, a known thief and murderer, a man of notoriously vicious and intemperate disposition.

Blessed be the Lord my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight
