CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- A West Virginia man found wearing women's underwear and standing over a goat's carcass told police he was high on bath salts. Mark L. Thompson of Alum Creek was arrested at his home Monday. A criminal complaint in Kanawha County Magistrate Court charges the 19-year-old with cruelty to animals. Sheriff's Deputy J.S. Shackelford says witnesses reported Thompson standing near a neighbor's pygmy goat in a bedroom. He was wearing a bra and female underwear. The goat had at least one stab wound. Cpl. Sean Snuffer says Thompson indicated he had been high and "wasn't in his right mind."
Look, everyone has the right to react in their own way to 9/11 and Osama's death. This guy decided to celebrate a great day in American history by offering up an animal sacrifice while in drag, high as a kite after sniffing bath salts, and who are we to judge. Sure he could have gone the traditional route, ran down to some drunk gathering of college kids waving flags, but he chose to do it in his own, quiet and simple way and I think we all owe it to him to respect his privacy at a time like this.
In all seriousness though, the police realize they're in West Virginia, right? Isn't this sort of thing common place?
