Man with painted Joker face attacks ex-girlfriend's new lover

Cole Vetterkind, 26, broke into Jason Benzschawel's home, then started choking Benzschawel as he slept with Alecia Swensen. Benzschawel says his attacker was wearing a ski mask and when it was removed he saw it was Vetterkind, with his face painted like Batman's nemesis. (Marshfield News-Herald | MUG SHOTS | 911 TAPES)

Somehow this is so right. If yer gunna do something like that, paint your face like the Joker.

"Why so serious?"

From the 911 link:

Benzshawel was able to free himself momentarily and recovered a gun he kept near his bed. He shot Vetterkind in the leg. Kane's attitude then changes. He immediately yells, "don't shoot," and begs for help to save Vetterkind's life. Benzschawel then offers his belt to use as a tourniquet and helps Kane drag Vetterkind to a car.
-----------------

"Kane's attitude then changes". Not that I wouldn't go pansy after a gun appears either, but weren't these big tough motorcycle gang members? Where was their gun?

And after shooting the guy, Benschwantzewall helps with a tourniquet and a drag to the car.

I guess all the threats didn't work out for EddieVetterkong and attacking the dude didn't go to well either. You are 20-what? Go find another 18 year old skank.

His shooster gun must'a not be on kilster, or elster hester be deod.

Mr. Joker there probably had an entire scenario all planned out, where he would be all mean and scary and dramatically remove his ski mask. Didn't go like he wanted. "Ha haaa, I'm the Joker!" "Well I'm Batman!" BOOM! "No fair, Batman doesn't use a gun!"

[RockyMtnMac]

Sorry! Batman is HOT!!

18 and dating 20-something guys, and apparently spending the night with them? I predict many, many future stories about this little "lady". I can guaran-effing-tee that my sister would have been chained to a water pipe in our basement if she had even THOUGHT about doing that! One word--whore.

Moral of the story:
Don't sleep with the crazy guy's girlfriend!

There are days when I think my life is seriously off. Then I read stories like this, and I'm suddenly grateful to be exactly where I am.

What hell is wrong with people these days? Should I be smoking something?

I'm surprised the ignorant pigs didn't take the VICTIM'S shotgun.

This may appear twice as, the site seems to be f'ed up again.

wannabe?

Benzshawel is pronounced "Benshovel". And all of the people involved party, or at least know each other. And yes, you are all correct, many brain cells have been killed or dameged by alcohol and other substances! In some of the cases for generations. If nothing else, a couple of them, make good examples of why abortion needs to remain legal.

The victim used his belt as a tourniquet to save the attacker? That was awfully sweet of him, most people I know woulda reloaded...
