It wasn't on purpose. But now it's a meme: You Won't Find This at BrendanNyhan.com
A reader sends this story:
An elderly man was arrested Monday night after a neighbor's fart allegedly drove him to threaten him with a gun, police said.
Daniel Collins, 72, had been involved in an ongoing dispute with the unidentified neighbor for some time, Det. Lt. Andrew McGurr told NJ.com. The neighbor told officers that Collins pointed a revolver at him in the vestibule of their apartment building at 694 Cedar Lane at around 9:25 p.m.
Collins said he confronted the man after hearing him pass gas in front of his apartment door, but denied threatening him with a gun. He consented to a search, and officers recovered a .32 caliber revolver from his vehicle.
He was arrested and charged with aggravated assault, possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, unlawful possession of a firearm and making terroristic threats.
The door was closed. The guy was outside, in the vestibule. Okay, that is pretty loud flatulence. But threaten him with a gun?
Let me just say that, with me and two sons in the house, the LMM might have racked some buckshot into the ol' Rem 870 on MANY occasions, if this is actually an excuse.

"Making terroristic threats"? Really? There is a strong agument that Mr. Collins was combating global warming by creating a strong disincentive to emitting methane.
I think this was the original ending to Gran Torino.
