MAN KILLED NEIGHBOR OVER NOISY BIRDS

A southern New Jersey man has been found guilty of stabbing his downstairs neighbor to death in a dispute over pet birds. 65-year-old David Giordano was convicted on Monday of aggravated manslaughter in the June 2012 slaying of 52-year-old Michael Taylor. The Voorhees Township man had been Taylor’s upstairs neighbor. Prosecutors say Giordano poured water on Taylor’s pet birds because they were chirping too loudly. The birds had been kept on Taylor’s porch. Giordano then repeatedly stabbed Taylor with a knife when Taylor confronted him. Taylor later died from his injuries. Giordano is expected to be sentenced next month. He faces 15 to 30 years in state prison.
* Who’s in the cage now, eh, Mr. Giordano?
* It’s ironic that he’ll go to jail over annoying birds, because in prison I’m sure he’ll find a cockatoo.
* Guess which social media platform this guy hates. C’mon – guess.
* If only the other guy had owned fish, instead.
* This is no way to act. If you don’t like your neighbor’s birds buy a hawk.
* Better yet: Get a condor.
* Or you could go reptile with it and get a big snake.
* The point is taking matters into your own hands is wrong when you can buy a pet to do it for you.
* I know this category of wacky news story. This is where we marvel at how incredibly violent humans can be over nothing.
