A beer can triggered a bizarre chain of events that ended with a man facing serious charges.

It all started Friday evening in a home on 62nd Street south of Hartford. The victim tells deputies her boyfriend, Pedro Diaz, hit her in the head with the beer can, so she made him leave.

Who's leading the conversation?

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

The chihuahua was injured in the incident. Its condition is not known.

:-( Innocent bystander....

Diaz took off, but police used a dog to track him down. They ended up tasering him to get him under control. He suffered puncture wounds associated with the taser to the chest and groin.

Serves him right for picking on the preggy Chihuahua.

Really. How often do I leave my dog in a full body cast, sitting on top of the car? How embarrassing is that?

I think you remember the wrong scene. The one when Stiller accidentally throws the dog out the window is the one I was thinking of.

Oh yeah, Stiller wrestles the dog off his throat, throws it to the floor, and dog leaps for his... yeah now I remember.

Steel sieve is more like the truth, but I remember how to find what I've rinsed away :)

How ironic that a dog was used to hunt down a man who just injured a dog. I kinda wish that concept was applied to wife beaters -- ya know, use an angry woman to hunt down a wife beater.

Ok, time for a joke:

This is actually a true story.

I was at a party and a woman was talking about house breaking her dog. I told her that I would rub my dog's nose in the mess and throw her out the window when she soiled the floor. "After a while," I said,"she got the idea, every time she soiled the carpet, she would rub her own nose it and run and jump out the window. It took a tragic twist though, when I moved to a 3rd floor apartment. One day she soiled the carpet and rubbed her nose in it then jumped out the window."

Of course that was the joke, but the woman didn't get the idea that I was joking. "Really!?", she said, "That's terrible." So of course I had to play her.

"Yes," I told her," and the bad thing is, she landed on my car."

She was outraged! I don't know if she ever figured out that I was kidding her.

On a serious note, this is very bad. I'm glad that the woman wasn't harmed but it's a real shame about the little dog.

Nothing like a cold beer on a hot afternoon.

Now, I suppose this guy is going to sue the beer company claiming that it's their fault.

As for you Wheel ... I can't believe this woman didn't realize you were joking. Lucky she didn't
throw you out the window! Then again, you aren't teeny and pregnant.

Where does all this rage come from anyway?
