After police left, Spiker allegedly continued to argue with family, threatened them and then grabbed the cat. When he went after a dog, a struggle occurred, resulting in the alleged assault.

No. You're doing it wrong. Punch the woman, jettison the cat.

Strange, seeing as how the Internet would be the #1 source for pictures of women and cats - you'd think he'd want to conserve what he had.

I'm assuming that he's not a redditor because he threw a cat.

[–]GeneralWarts 366 points367 points ago

He did punch a woman so everything evened out.

[–]La_mera_paipa 138 points139 points ago

He was just disposing his broken karma machine

[–]I_decide_up_or_down 110 points111 points ago

"So this little guy just flew through my window"- He was just passing the karma machine along.

[–]Lebran 26 points27 points ago

He threw it out of a window not in a window.

[–]I_decide_up_or_down 59 points60 points ago

The apartment complexes are close together in this neighborhood.

[–]beeprog 23 points24 points ago

If it was through a window the direction would be undetermined and from our perspective the cat could be in a superposition, a literal Schrodinger cat state, demonstrating macroscopic non-classicality, the man could have utilised quantum mechanics on a macroscopic scale, instead he punched a woman.

[–]ShinInuko 9 points10 points ago

Woman:"Is the cat inside or outside of the window"

Man: "Quit asking me hard questions, I'm not a quantum physicist." He then solves the problem of difficult quantum conundrums in the most simplistic of ways: break the nose of the one presenting the problems.

Just be glad he didn't use Okham's razor

I'm willing to bet it was OP, actually. Think about it. No reddit, no kitty karma, so the cat is useless. No theory on punching his girl yet, though.

[–]BoonTobias 15 points16 points ago

Dishwasher was down too

[–]Howitworks 4 points5 points ago

Because she had more karma than him and was bragging!

[–]starcadia 2 points3 points ago

She called it "Duct Tape" and he yelled "Quack Quack, Bitch!" before punching her.

[–]knirefnel 4 points5 points ago

He was desperate to get that cat onto the internet

[–]JavaLSU 7 points8 points ago

He threw the cat because without internet his karma machine was useless.

Seems pretty conflicting to me...

[–]DarkStanley 10 points11 points ago

I laughed, it just made me think it was a redditor who finally snapped when they couldn't get their online fix.

  • When you get cable bundled with internet, you may get a shitty package
  • When you get a shitty package, internet sometimes goes down
  • When internet goes down, you get angry
  • When you get angry, you throw cats out of a window and punch women.

...

  • Don't throw cats out of a window and punch women. Get DirecTV.

Defelinestration

[–]you_rock_rock 7 points8 points ago

Used that word in an 8th grade paper and got marked 50% off for plagiarism. I shit you not. Teacher circled it and marked "your word?" as if the word belongs to someone. Took it up with the school and never got the points back. Apparently the combination of the words "defenestrate" and "unveiled", along with a complex sentence here and there, were enough proof that I had plagiarized. Dicks.

Edit: To be fair, I set myself up here by using a thesaurus and thinking "haha, the teacher will never know this word"

[–]VortixTM 0 points1 point ago

[–]Offensive_Brute 5 points6 points ago

because the guy didnt have internet access. we all love cats, but priorities man!

[–]MuttonTheChops 3 points4 points ago

Yeah, but the lady it punched was out cold.

[–]narcolepticpathos 13 points14 points ago

"Suspect apparently upset over lack of Internet access." That sounds like an appropriate reaction to me.

[–]apaq11 6 points7 points ago

Hmmm he couldn't post his cat on the internet so he made it into the Newspaper (the pre 90's internet) instead which then made it on the internet. Pretty clever if you ask me.

[–]BagOdonutz 4 points5 points ago

Read that in Al Rokers voice.

[–]thebardingreen 8 points9 points ago

[–]raging_asshole 21 points22 points ago

Officers responded to the apartment around 8:30 a.m. and told Timothy Spiker, 32, to refrain from causing problems. After police left, Spiker allegedly continued to argue with family, threatened them and then grabbed the cat. When he went after a dog, a struggle occurred, resulting in the alleged assault.

So the wife was like, "Go ahead and throw the fucking cat out the window, I don't care, but if you lay one fucking hand on my dog..."

[–]topgunsarg 22 points23 points ago

Or, more rationally, the family didn't suspect he was serious when he threatened to throw the cat out of the window, and realized he was after he actually did it.

[–]swingchild 10 points11 points ago

To be fair, assuming he's a normal guy, and the cat is a normal cat, probably he had threatened to throw it out the window dozens of times.

[–]GMan129 11 points12 points ago

well, he threw a cat out of the window and punched his wife when trying to do the same to his dog, so no; probably not a normal guy

[–]seviiens 4 points5 points ago

I'm sorry what - is that a normal threat?

[–]jmb1406 5 points6 points ago

Did you make that shadow puppet on purpose? I see a dog.

[–]Frankie_Soup 3 points4 points ago

[–]fazh 4 points5 points ago

[–]FUNWITHPUNS 13 points14 points ago

[–]theofficialposter 2 points3 points ago

Internet withdrawal: May cause spontaneous attempts of LOLCAT creation and random acts of violence in order to recreate misogynistic chat room rants.

[–]LastRedCoat 4 points5 points ago

I guess if he couldn't get karma for posting pictures of his cat online anymore the logical course of action was defenestration. I can't justify his battery of the woman though, that's a despicable act.

[–]Probablybeinganass 6 points7 points ago

He was practicing for /r/beatingwomen for when he got internet again, after realizing he blew his chances with /r/aww.
