This guy really is a nerd

Here is a fun story I hadn’t seen before, ‘Nerd’ taunt drove Navy man to arson on MSNBC.com:

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.

What fun! I really enjoyed the nice touch of uploading photo’s of every state he drove through, plus it didn’t hurt that the victim lived in a trailer, adding to the laughs. Moral of the story, never call someone a nerd, racial slurs and momma jokes still ok. Remember this next time your on Xbox live kids.
