[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

A 37-year-old landlord in North Carolina has been arrested after he allegedly broke into the home of two of his tenants while they were on vacation, kicking and then shooting their pet cat.

According to a news release from the Burke County Sheriff’s Office, the agency’s Criminal Investigations and Narcotics Division on July 15 received a report involving “breaking and entering as well as animal cruelty.” The following day, a detective made contact with the victims, who provided surveillance footage of the incident purporting to show McCormack on July 10, 2024, entering their home without authorization and then kicking and shooting their cat.

McCormack, who owns multiple rental properties in the area of Burke County, spoke to Charlotte, North Carolina, ABC affiliate WSOC about the incident and claimed that the tenants had never been given permission to keep a cat on the premises. He further claimed that he did not actually intend to shoot the cat, only give it a scare so it would run away.

--------------

In addition to the charges in connection to the cat incident, McCormack also has multiple cases pending in Burke and Iredell Counties, including two counts of violating a domestic violence protective order, cyberstalking, assault on a female, speeding, and resisting a public officer, reckless driving to endanger, and having an expired registration card or tag.

15. I agree.

Of course, every time I suggest going all 'Hammurabi' on some slime ball, I get lectured.

But, you are correct.

3. And these sick fucks...

Live among us and, in some cases, we have to depend on them for shelter or whatever.

I hope the victims end up with a massive judgement/settlement.

4. A very, very bad, demented dude.

I would believe in a god of wry humor and justice if his jurors were cat lovers and permitted to bring their cats to the trial.

5. Should be worth a $25k judgement.

6. Sandals,

black dress socks, shorts and a t-shirt. Gun in hand. Breaking and entering and animal cruelty. Two counts of domestic violence from other prior behavior, cyber-stalking, assault on a female, speeding, expired tags and resisting an officer. Checks all the boxes for MAGA material in NC.

8. Well, they won't have to be his tenants anymore.

They may end up owning that home.

10. My thoughts exactly.

But I would not stop with just that one. Destroy him, socioeconomically speaking. Make it so that he is deciding between gas to go job hunting or something to eat today. While living on a friend's couch.

Disgusting d***cheese...

If that creep has friends, let him live in his car.
