Oh Rats! Bitch Smoked My Last Cig!
October 12, 2009 by Jaded
DeLand, FL – Before you blow your top and end up gracing the front page of the Dreamin’ Demon, remember, there are many effective ways of dealing with stress without resorting to violence. Of course, I neither know nor practice any of them, but I have heard of ways others deal with their tension. Some people shop ’til it hurts. Others drink themselves into oblivion – forgetting their own name and the reason for their angst. Some toke it up and pig out on Doritos until their mood improves. And Morbid, well, he masturbates. A. Lot. (Ask him about his carpal tunnel sometime). When Darren Daniels discovered his wife may have *gasp* smoked his last cigarette, he went postal and killed his pet rat. What the hell the rat had to do with anything is beyond me…I guess there wasn’t a toddler lurking anywhere in the vicinity.
Darren Daniels
In the midst of a tempter tantrum that would make any two-year-old child proud, Daniels grabbed the pet rat from it’s aquarium, smashed it’s little rat head on the edge of the tank, and proceeded to strangle it to death. Strangled? Really? You gotta be a real he-man to choke a rat to death. His wife, freaked out by the manly show of homicidal violence and perhaps fearing she may be next, ran from the house. She was hanging out on the porch when Darren burst outside screaming that he couldn’t bring the rat back to life. He grabbed his wife by the chest and wouldn’t let go. The woman was able to escape the rat-killer’s clutches after he began to repeatedly bang his own head into the wall. She found safety under a bush somewhere near their apartment complex. She waited there, in her leafy hidey-hole, for about an hour.
It was a neighbor who called 911 after he/she discovered a hole in the wall near the doorway. When deputies rolled onto the scene, Darren rolled out. They eventually caught up with him, and with the help of some stop sticks, were able to apprehend the fucking nutjob. At the couple’s apartment, officers found two other large white rats, an aquarium with snakes and lizards, and a large python curled up in a ball on the bedroom floor – the rest of the animals were unharmed.
Darren Daniels, 22, is looking at charges of battery and fleeing. It is not known whether he will face animal cruelty charges. He has already made $3,000 bail and was released from his cage. He could make bail but couldn’t buy another pack of friggin’ smokes?!? His mamma had this to say about her adorable spawn: “He don’t have a mental problem. He lacks self control and needs to grow up and act like an adult.” Yeah. Something like that…

At least mama’s not defending the dirty rat bastard.

Poor little rat. Pet rats are so sweet.
Hopefully, his wife will take the hint and dump him. I wouldn’t put any money on it, but I can always hope. I’m delusional that way.

Um. All that over a cigarette? Seriously? He should have diverted some of the energy he spent on going batshit crackers and just taken his happy ass to the fucking store and bought another pack of smokes. Idiot.

His mama hot the nail in the head. I hope he will learn from this incident, and this will be the last we hear of him.
I also hope his wife is on powerful birth control…

So, if I use a trap to squish their little heads off, I’m on the right side of the law, but if I choose a more intimate means of disposal, like strangulation, it’s cruelty?
The line’s so thin, I have a hard time seeing it, on occasion.

I think intent has a lot to do with it. Also, there is a difference between a pet and a pest (or a pet and meat), which is why I reject the PETA “all animals on earth are equal” bullshit. Sure, lots of people wouldn’t keep rats as pets, including me, but this guy did and then killed it out of rage/spite, not because it was a random rat running free in the house. I thoroughly believe that people should be held to a higher standard for treatment of animals kept as pets. People can be against eating meat or against the way animals are raised for meat, but to me that’s a separate issue. I’m getting off the subject a bit here, but every time there is a thread somewhere about a cat or dog (or rat, I suppose) being tortured to death or something similarly horrible, some jackass vegan always has to come on and tell those that are outraged that they are “hypocrites” if they eat meat or don’t get equally outraged that chickens are kept in tiny cages. There was even a vegan guy who made that same “point” by filming himself torturing and killing a cat, and some people actually bought that his video had “artistic value” because he was a vegan and therefore must be totally noble in his intentions. Whereas rational non-morons recognize that he is a fucking psycho. PETA types can be incredibly authoritarian-minded. Gag.
Anyway, majorly off topic now, but I suppose I’m just trying to express why these I think those “fine lines” are valid, rather than just lumping all animals and all manners of death into one. For the record, Athena, I know you were just introducing the fine line as a concept to ponder, my comment is not me challenging you, just expanding on it if you will.

I agree Athena, we exterminate rats as a pest. The better part of this story is him banging on the wall. Poor wall! There is a lot of real estate on that forehead

….though this guy doesn’t look like my ex-boyfriend… he sure as hell acts like him.
and the mother, saying, “He lacks self control and needs to grow up and act like an adult” sounds JUST like my ex-boyfriend’s mother.
and that IS defending him.
and it’s gross.
if my son ever acted like that, i wouldn’t be saying shit to reporters. i’d be denying him for all that it’s worth.
maybe saying that sounds cruel…. but there is a reason why your child grew up that way. and it probably has something to do with what you exposed him to as a child.
nature vs. nuture people.
ugh.
what did that rat ever do?!

There is a difference in violently killing an animal in anger. This guy is scary. I have a pet rat and they make great pets.
12:50 pm on October 13th, 2009
Are we sure the rats were pets and not food/toys/temptations for the large python roaming free?
12:57 pm on October 13th, 2009
good point…

I understand where y’all are coming from, but to me, it’s a distinction that is a bit trivial. It’s like hate crime legislation, kind of. Should I really be sentenced more severely when I rob a man because he is black instead of robbing him because I am broke? I don’t believe so.
Now, here we’ve got a rat – an animal that we exterminate en mass, use for lab tests, etc. Is it really worth distinguishing between that and killing one out of anger, or is it just a cheap way to pile on a tougher sentence because we feel like it’s deserved.
Just strikes me as silly, is all.
Think you got something worth saying? Type it out. If you don't wanna look lame, get rid of that default avatar and go get you a gravatar! Tell 'em Morbid sent ya'. Lastly, as far as we are concerned, posting a comment means that you have read our Disclaimer.
