I’ve never got the bug of the Couch Commando that needs to have supreme control of the Remote. As a matter of fact the wife and I often fight over who holds the remote because we’re both early risers so whoever is holding the remote is in charge of turning the TV off once we’re both fast asleep. Still some take it more serious than others.
An Illinois man allegedly gouged out his uncle’s eyes then pushed him down the stairs in a fight over a remote control, authorities said.
The 62-year-old victim managed to call 911, and a sheriff’s deputy found him at the bottom of the basement stairs with his hands stretched in front of him and blood streaming from his face, saying ‘”Please help. I cannot see,” according to a Will County Sheriff’s Department report.
The report said the man’s eyeballs were swollen and protruding a quarter-inch from his sockets.
Oh and this should surprise EVERYBODY!
he story was first reported by The Joliet Herald-News, which said Holman has an extensive arrest record for aggravated assault, battery, violating orders of protection and resisting arrest, including striking a police officer with a car while being arrested for driving under the influence.
Amazing a violent crime caused by a violent criminal who didn’t have a gun. And we’re always told that guns cause crime!

Hory Clap!!!! I’d light a candle for the victim, but he wouldn’t be able to see it.
