Man holds mom hostage after she refuses to iron his clothes

Robert Edward Tyrrell Jr., 29, who lives with his parents, pulled out a gun and took his 51-year-old mother's keys and cellphones. He refused to let her leave for at least six hours, investigators said. Tyrrell had told his mother that "ironing is women's work." (Atlanta Journal-Constitution)

Let me be the first one to say,,, he actually LOOKS like the type of guy who would hold his own mother hostage over ironing.

[floormaster squeeze]

Sometimes its just easier to do the work yourself.

[Soo]

I went through military "tech" school with a guy who was equally stupid, and his mother was a lawyer! How does this keep happening?

[Elmer J Fudd]

29 and he still lives with his parents?? What a loser. Tough love Mom, kick his worthless ass out NOW ! ! !

[Zimmer]

I would of had too beat the loser with the iron.

[whatthe?]

please please please sterilize this POS immediately! Too bad his mom doesn't have a gun and a temper....she could do the world a favor.

[Notch Johnson]

Well, she raised him.

[RockyMtnMac]

Don't be ridiculous.
In the kitchen making sammiches is womens work, not just ironing. Sheesh, what a dork...

[MikeyMike]

I hope they have him do the ironing in prison.

[Jim]

A good case for retro-active birth control!

Where's Dad in all this? He needs to kick Junior out of the house. That's man's work.

So this is what happend to the banjo player on Deliverance.
I expect see see him on the next episode of Where Are They Now?

[Sigh]

... and salad tossing is prisoner's work ...

[penandra]

One can only hope he'll do jail/prison time --- where he will probably do a whole lot of stuff that he thought was "women's work"

[AngrySockMonkey]

Yeah i am sure he will make a great cell wife.

[AngrySockMonkey]

Yeah i am sure he will make a great cell wife.

[American Veteran]

Well, it IS Georgia, ya'll.

[Farmer Bob and the City]

Sterilize them all.

[Lambiepie]

gosh, I wonder why he hasn't made bail yet

[dru]

My favorite part is how the mother managed to escape to the police, who then proceeded to the home, and the creep was STILL there! It kinda makes you wonder what else this bunghole has done in the past, if he apparently didn't think he was going to be brought to justice over this.

I'm kinda curious what kind of sentencing this jerk will face, and whether it will be long enough for him to buy a clue, since 29 years hasn't worked for him yet.

EXACTLY Notch!

This is NOT an isolated incident. Mom should have thought about this 30 years ago... with a Falcon Punch.

[Tom Weidermeijer]

I have a stack of ironing that needs to be done... fortuntely my parents live 500 miles away.

Oh... let me get my gun.

[Krash]

Another good case for licensing progeny, albeit 30 years too late.
