Woman, 92, Goes Ballistic After Being Denied Kiss

note, mods said we aren't allowed to 'call out' states but note where this occured


MARCH 22--After being denied a kiss yesterday by a neighbor 39 years her junior, a 92-year-old Florida woman allegedly returned to her home, retrieved a .380 semi-automatic handgun, and fired several shots into the man’s residence.

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

Investigators allege that Staudinger went next door to speak with Dwight Bettner, but her 53-year-old neighbor asked her to leave. In an interview with a sheriff’s deputy, Staudinger said she told Bettner that she would not leave unless he gave her a kiss.

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

Staudinger told a cop that she had planned to “shoot his car that he loved so much.” Investigators believe that she instead “fired diagonally through the victim’s carport hitting the house with all four rounds fired.”

You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss, a sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by

All of me
Why not take
All of me...

:rofl:

as all her peers are probably gone.

The guy should have given her a hug.

Glad she didn't hurt anyone though.

isn't dangerous. She needs to have her gun taken away and maybe placed somewhere so that someone can keep and eye on her to make sure she doesn't hurt anyone or herself.

posting that she should have given him a hug?

you'll be old one day

in 40 years

It would be appropriate to have her undergo a full neurological workup before anything else.

My mother-in-law, who developed full-blown Alzheimer's in her early 70's, began hitting my father-in-law with her cane for stepping out on her earlier in their marriage (which wasn't true, to everyone's knowledge). Alzheimer's patients can be very ornery & physically combative.

cause bizarre behaviors and the elderly are especially prone to problems of this nature for a wide variety of reasons - not always organic.

At that age, and if she hadn't acted like that before, I'd suspect dementia or a health problem of some sort.
