Alabama father and son kill each other in fight over dog
AP ^ | 12/21/20 | None listed

An Alabama man and his son killed each other in a dispute over a dog, authorities said.

Washington County Sheriff Richard Stringer told WALA-TV that Kelvin James Coker, 60, discovered his dog had been shot on Saturday. The man then drove to the home of his 32-year-old son, Kelvin Nicholas Coker, who claimed to have killed the animal.

The older man shot first, shooting his son in the leg, and the younger man returned fire with a shotgun, Stringer said. Both men died from their wounds.

The sheriff called the family “very dysfunctional.”

Will agree with you. Baldwin County a mighty fine place. Baldwin County outshines its surrounding counties by a long shot. Washington County . . . eh. . . . Not it my top 50 counties in Alabama where I might consider living

But, this story is frigging sad.

Wonder what they will have to say for themselves on judgment day.

Obviously, they hated each other, but death is so....final.

The drive from Mobile to Tuscaloosa through the counties that border Mississippi is just depressing. Lots of old trucks, older trailers and big assed satellite dishes...

I would consider this family as very functional in that they performed an invaluable service for humanity when they removed themselves from society.

We have a winner! The very first father and son winners of the 2020 Darwin Awards.

Aw, they killed the dog. With a couple of low lifes like those two, they could kill each other and I wouldn’t care, as the world could use the space and oxygen they’ve been wasting.

Wait, I thought shooting people in the leg was always non-lethal.

“They’re not wearing masks!!! Therefore, their deaths are attributed to the virus.”

The dog didn’t have no mask neither so that’s a bonus covid death.

I guess Christmas at the Coker home will be a little quieter this year.

I do feel bad for the dog and both of these gentleman. Good grief - what the hell was wrong with them?

Well, I guess they got out of the chore of sending our Christmas cards.
