MILWAUKEE - A Milwaukee man was accused of shooting his lawn mower because it wouldn't start. Keith Walendowski, 56, was charged with felony possession of a short-barreled shotgun or rifle and misdemeanor disorderly conduct while armed.

According to the criminal complaint, Walendowski said he was angry because his Lawn Boy wouldn't start Wednesday morning. He told police quote, "I can do that, it's my lawn mower and my yard so I can shoot it if I want."

A woman who lives at Walendowski's house reported the incident. She said he was intoxicated.

Walendowski could face up to an $11,000 fine and six years and three months in prison if convicted.

A call to Walendowski's home went unanswered Friday morning.

Right their is what is wrong with people today. Stereotyping and expecting a certain look means people look a certain way. It really is a shame thats how people choose to judge people by how they look.

Somebody needs to lighten up.

And now he's generating some ideas about how *you* look. See how this works?

I try to live by the creed, when it involves power tools and such, get them before they get you. I believe in preemptive strikes! :

There is no perfect stereotype. Classifying someone by their look no matter how ridiculous is ludacris.

Not really. There are limits to everything.
