Bring me more beer, woman, or the goats git it!
WAUPACA, Wis. (AP) — A man who was upset with his wife for not buying beer took vengeance by shooting the family's two pet goats, prosecutors say.
Vengeance? Where's he think he lives, in friggin Gaza...
Peter W. Mischler, 48, was charged this week in Circuit Court with mistreatment of animals, possession of a firearm while intoxicated and disorderly conduct with a dangerous weapon.
Or, as they call it in Wisconsin, "hunting"...
The complaint said Mischler came home Monday from hunting and became angry with his 22-year-old daughter for letting the goats out and making a mess. While she was talking on the phone to her mother, authorities said, he told her to tell his wife to bring home some beer, but his wife refused because she was already on her way home.
Sure, hon. Sounds like just what ya need, more beer...
He then threatened to shoot the goats, according to the complaint. After his wife arrived home, she and the daughter heard four gunshots."He shot both of them. He killed Flash, and the officer had to kill Chloe," the daughter, Megan Mischler, said in a phone interview Wednesday. "I really don't understand why he shot them — they didn't deserve it."
They never do, honey. They never do...
She said her father had been most angry about the mess the goats made, not the beer.
The Times would probably call him another bitter angry white man with a gun and a grudge. Probably a loner too...
Of course he's a loner, he has two fewer goats ...
The family is now grieving the loss of the two goats, Megan Mischler said."We took those goats swimming, we took them to Dairy Queen to get ice cream, they were completely leash-trained," she said, her voice trembling. "They were more than goats to us, they were more like a dog. And they didn't deserve this."
Guns...beer...goats! When does it stop, Muldoon? When does it stop!
I dunno, sarge. Makes ya wanna puke...

Peter Mischler was released on $1,000 bond. When The Associated Press called the home Wednesday evening, his wife said her husband was not available for comment.
Ah'll be sleepin it off, woman! Noterfy tha media ah'll be unnervailerble fer comment!!
