Police: Man throws, kills girlfriend's kitten

Bruce Walston.
A Staunton man picked up his girlfriend’s black-haired kitten and hurled it against a wall, killing it, after the creature disconnected a video game he was playing, police said.
At least one of the woman’s daughters was present during the incident on Monday. The girlfriend called police to the home who found the kitten’s body on the apartment’s porch.
Authorities, at first, released Bruce Walston, 21, with a summons to appear in court on an animal cruelty charge. He then became “disorderly” and was taken into custody, Lisa Klein, a Staunton police spokeswoman, said.
Walston has been charged with animal cruelty and disorderly conduct. He was being held at Middle River Regional Jail in Staunton.

Someone should throw his ignorant ass up against a wall. At least she had the decency to call the po-po....

Another protoplasmic error we can live without- I agree that someone should slam this thug into the wall till he dies- wonder if Michael Vick is available...

Throw his video game system up against the wall and ban him for life from ever again having a video game. Too many grown men spend time they should be spending with their children...or working, sitting around playing video games.

Why not throw this jack@ss up against the wall and save the taxpayer a lot of time, trouble, and money. This organism is a complete waste of space and air.

yes, he, like Vick has no values, and really is a waste of society's money. When someone does somethink like this they should be jailed for a long time. If they do it again they should be sentenced to death. Why spend 24K a year harboring someone like this? How can this possibly make sense?

Wow...so wrong...poor kitten. I agree he will be a major waste of space and tax money...make him pay by cleaning litter boxes for the rest of his life. I just hope thats the only violence that that family and children have seen from him.

He looks mentally deficient.

Death penalty for this guy please. He looks useless and people who kill over video games are probably going to offer ZERO contribution to society.
Sick man. I hope he gets beaten in jail for this.

WTF is wrong with some of you people. Summary death for killing a kitten? Hyberbole is one thing, but this kind of talk from Americans? We established this country so people like that could not accuse, jail and execute you for whatever reason they think necessary (think witch trials). Yes. He is a a$$h@le extrordinare and a cruel and warped individual. He is deserving of some type of punishment. It just disturbs me too see regular (I suppose) people act out their own violent fantasies in these blogs. How are you any better than he?

At least this happened in VA. The Confederacy's one redeeming trait; criminals are actually punished.

By the looks of the chump it looks like he was thrown into a wall few times in his life.

This man needs psychological intervention (as well as appropriate criminal punishment) - ASAP. It is well known among experts in the field that such cruelty to animals is all too often the precursor of physical abuse to humans. The girlfriend needs to get her children and herself away from him, and stay away.

Sure, the Guy is messed up; duh; but did you know that Cats torture birds and other small animals, just for Sport - not for food; ie Cats practice cruelty routinely...
