It’s one thing to get in a disagreement with your mom at 18 because your relationship with your girlfriend is in shambles. It’s another to go on a chicken-killing rampage because your mom won’t make things better between you and your girlfriend.
Let’s go to Elkmont County, Alabama, just miles from the Tennessee border where a young man started murdering his mom’s chickens because she wouldn’t take his orders.
From AL.com:
Haden Smith, 18, was arrested Thursday and charged with domestic violence third degree and criminal mischief. Deputies say the situation started when Smith texted his mother, threatening to kill one of her chickens every 15 minutes until she contacted his girlfriend’s parents and attempted to mend their broken relationship.
Deputies claim Smith gave his mother a deadline of noon before he started to kill the chickens. They also say he threatened to burn his mother’s house down, kill any deputies that arrived on the scene, and kill himself.
He then began sending his mother picture messages of each chicken he killed at 15-minute intervals, killing six in total before he was arrested, deputies say.
What the hell happened to these millennials who think they can just go around killing their family chickens? Mom won’t call your girlfriends parents….CHICKEN’S NECK GETS SNAPPED. I guess the good news here is that Haden didn’t shoot up a mall or school and it was just a couple chickens who had to suffer. Thank god.
This whole situation sounds like what Haden really needs is some college football, a beer and his old lady to make him a chicken salad sammich. Let’s not make this difficult.
Let’s hope these two can work past the dead chickens, Haden’s struggles with his mom and all that comes with being 18.
