People from Staten Island are crazy

I have a few relatives I can picture doing this.

NEW YORK (AP) -- A peacock that roamed into the parking lot of a Burger King in New York City was beaten by a man who insisted it was a vampire.
Animal control officials in Staten Island say the bird was beaten so fiercely that most of its tail feathers fell out and it had to be euthanized.
The seven-year-old male peacock wandered into the restaurant parking lot and perched on a car hood last week. Charmed employees had been feeding it bread when the man appeared.
A restaurant worker says the man grabbed the bird by the neck, hurled it to the ground and started stomping it. She says when he was asked what he was doing, he responded, "'I'm killing a vampire!"'
Employees called police, but the man ran when he saw them.

Jesus Christ.

The only things from Staten Island that I like are my girlfriend, the Wu-Tang Clan, Renaldo Balkman, and the SI Yankees.

Here's some more crazy people from SI, NY:

Similar instance here in Stuart,Florida, someone is murdering the peacocks in town. It is being investigated by the police. I think about + 6 have been killed.

I wonder if the peacock had gel in its feathers.

I actually work at the bank right next to where it happened. I got to work about an hour after the incident, so I didn't even know what went on til I read yesterday's paper, but it did explain the squad car I saw in the parking lot that morning.

No, but apparenty it WAS wearing a pink button down.

You live in Stuart? I lived in Hobe Sound for a year and a half before I moved to Palm Beach Gardens. How do you like Stuart? It wasn't for me. Did you know Scott Proctor is from there?

Someone should have beaten him.

Worst wannabe Van Helsing ever.

I agree. That's really sad.

Poor defenseless bird.

They never explained how a bird from Asia got to a fast food joint on SI.

Escaped from a zoo or some rich family's garden? Surely, IT wasn't the fastfood!

[destelle]

This disgusts me. So, they still haven't found the guy?

I have seen peacocks just roaming around before near where I work - I don't know if they are wild or they belong to someone?

[Maynerd]

I call "BS." Everybody knows you can't kill a vampire by stomping it.

BTW..how did the bird get to the parking lot?
That man is sick...

That was VERY necessary..... thank you

Apparently someone who lives near there is keeping a few of them, and the bird got out.

I laughed for five minutes after reading that.
