Tenton Man Fells Neighbor With Arrow Over Parking Dispute

Robert Wood, 41, allegedly takes parking very very seriously. While his neighbor, Anthony Giovannini, 35, thought he was struck in the back by a rock thrown into his house this week, he soon noticed an arrow sticking out of his back. Police eventually arrested Wood who has had disputes with Giovannini over parking spaces.

Trenton Police say that Wood is the archer who felled Giovanni. Giovanni has a four-inch deep wound and Wood was charged with aggravated assault and a weapons offense. It is not clear if his defense will be “faint hearts never won fair parking.”

  1. He should be renamed Ivan Ho or is another part of the body more appropriate?

    I am unsure if this was noted on the corrections page but the thread title states:

    Doesn’t he get points for using an environmentally friendly, renewable weapon?

    Okay … 1 point … but only if he’s parking an environmentally friendly vehicle … like a horse and buggy.

  3. Well, ol’ Wood don’t need no Philadelphia lawyer; he juss needs that Wadsworth feller’s defense,

    “I shot an arrow into the air,
    It fell to earth, I knew not where;
    For, so swiftly it flew, the sight
    Could not follow it in its flight.

    I breathed a song into the air,
    It fell to earth, I knew not where;
    For who has sight so keen and strong,
    That it can follow the flight of song?”

    John:

    I’m so happy I took a sip of coffee BEFORE I got to your post.

  6. John,

    A long time ago, I decided to go with the operating principle that most people simply don’t think and that some of them indeed can’t think.

    On that day, the world started to make more sense and I was considerably happier fellow.

  7. @John:

    Probably something like “I’m mad as hell and I’m not gonna take it anymore!”

    or..

    “I’m tired of people calling me a ‘poor man’s Kenny Rogers’!”

    or..

    “I’m a hopeless, powerless psycho so why SHOULDN’T I shoot my neighbor with an arrow?”

  8. When I read something like this, I just have to wonder what the heck was his thinking?!?!?
