Clipped: Wisconin Man Arrested After Shooting Lawn Boy

In Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Keith Walendowski, 56, was upset with his lawn mower, which refused to start. In classic Bill Mauldin fashion, he then proceeded to shoot the lawn boy. He is now charged with a felony for possession of a short-barreled shotgun or rifle and a misdemeanor for disorderly conduct while armed.


Walendowski told the police “I can do that, it’s my lawn mower and my yard so I can shoot it if I want.” However, after a woman who lives with him called the police and reported the incident (and the fact that he was drunk). The police arrived and ended his lawn mower reign of terror.

    Great. Refering to a cold blooded murder like a “cartoon” in the same breath.

    I’m not sure what you’re saying there VoR, but you do realize the “Lawnboy” he shot there was a lawn mower, right?

    Not his landscaper.
