Teen MySpace Animal Abuser Goes to Court
Posted By Ryan O'Meara Date: 18/04 Posted Under: Animal Cruelty, Social IssuesIn today’s daily charge of the morons brigade, we’ve discovered what can only be the team captain of the Pathetic-Simpletons club.
Here’s a teen who thinks spending time abusing animals ‘live’ on his MySpace page is a cooler thing to be doing than skateboarding, X-boxing or even partaking in good old fashioned teen behaviour like getting drunk off the fumes of a can of White Lightning.
A quick message to Joseph Deiss, “You’ll never get a girlfriend, you’ll never have any friends who aren’t equally as mentally redundant as you and you’ll undoubtedly succumb to a shorter than anticipated stay on planet earth when you inevitably try and make your toast in the bathtub, you utter, utter pilchard.
A Yorba Linda teenager pleaded not guilty today to six counts of animal abuse after video surfaced on MySpace.com showing him allegedly abusing a pug and two rabbits.
19 year old Joseph Anthony Deiss surrendered this morning at the Fullerton Justice Center and was being held on $10,000 bail. Diess released after his father posted bail. A pretrial hearing has been set for May 8.
The teenager, a part-time college student, was charged April 8 with three misdemeanor counts of animal cruelty and three misdemeanor counts of animal abuse by a caretaker after allegedly throwing a pug and two rabbits 15 to 30 feet in the air and allowing them to hit the ground. The video was allegedly shot in Deiss’ backyard in June 2007.
If convicted, Deiss could face a maximum sentence of three years in jail.
Most normal people don’t do this stuff. Most normal people find people like Deiss offensive to their senses. Most normal people will be hoping justice is properly served and this punk learns a valuable lesson. I hope.
