Minnesota Whacko: Addendum

Beltane                                                                Emergence Moon

OK, I thought John LaDue, Byron White and the corpse containing RV were enough to maintain our international standing, but I’m glad to see that the Zumberge family, all three of them, have jumped into a possible sanity breach. Here’s a quote from today’s Star-Tribune:

“Shoot, shoot, shoot, keep shooting,” Zumberge’s wife allegedly said as he fired a 12-gauge, semiautomatic shotgun at his neighbors.

This was apparently the culmination of a 15 year feud over the Zumberge’s neighbors feeding of deer. The Zumberges didn’t like it.

Son, Jacob, apparently pushed the neighbors at a local VFW, and then promised to “burn down their house and kill them.” According to the Tribune he felt the neighbor, dubbed “Mr. Corn” by the Zumberges in letters of complaint, contributed to his father getting Lyme’s disease.

(one of many shotguns available for purchase at a nearby Walmart.)

After Neal Zumberge emerged from his basement through a window, he emptied his semi-automatic shotgun. In a laconic observation the paper also reported that “four empty 12-gauge shotgun shells were found near (the neighbor’s) front door.”
