[This guy](http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/florida-man-charged-decapitating-mom-ax-n278076) cut off his mothers head with an axe. Because she nagged him.

Not much to say but that mug shot is priceless.

First story of the year to pile one more on top of the Florida stereotype.

No wonder she was nagging him. Lazy slob.

I wonder if he stopped for a butt during the job?

In James Thurber’s classic review of 19th century \*Punch \*magazines, he quoted an anti-smoking verse that both memory and googlefu are failing me on - about a husband who cut off his wife’s head, but lost his nerve halfway through - “twas no joke, he could only finish the job with smoke.”

He just axed her to please stop.

When I saw the thread title I thought, ‘Oh! I know just the mugshot I’m going to share!’ Turns out it’s the same one. 😛

I thought the problem with Florida is that nobody gives a shit.

A person was decapitated and not a single implied connection to ISIS? What is the world coming to?

He looks a lot less crazy than I expected.

Looks sorta like he’s squatting though. Dumping a deuce as they take your mug shot would be a class thing to do. Demonstrate your disdain for the cops and all. Not to say there might not be “repercussions”.

No, but [someone blamed Obama for a murder](https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10205337404065202&set=gm.938085159542727&type=1&theater). Seems if gas prices weren’t so low, the guy wouldn’t have driven [15 hours to kill his girlfriend](http://www.masslive.com/news/index.ssf/2014/12/man_drives_15_hours_on_christm.html).

Poe’s law in effect here.

You just can’t judge by the mug shot.

[Edmund Kemper](http://murderpedia.org/male.K/k/kemper-edmund.htm) looked fairly normal\*, but he wasn’t very nice to his mama either.

\*On second thought, not _that_ normal.
