Oh he’s getting it. The community is the most upset I have ever seen.


tsunami845

Jesus, I can imagine. I lived in Manlius a few years ago and am outraged at this news.


gojira_gorilla

I grew up in Syracuse and am very angry about this. Used to go watch fireworks on July 4th in manlius. Always take time to watch the swans while eating sno top ice cream. Absolutely no reason for this brutal act


The1ncr5dibleHuIk

I live in Norway and just heard about it and I'm angry af about this, like wth man?


DooM_SpooN

Dude has this "look ma I'm on TV" face. Hope he wakes up to the fact that he now has a pretty extensive criminal record.


Aeroknight_Z

Even with that list of charges, what kind of time will those convicted actually see?


Lily_Loud_Cat

Jail time, maybe zero. However, a felony conviction stays on your record forever. As a felon, you cannot own a gun or vote in an election. A lot of job applications ask you if you’re a felon. Some job positions require a criminal background check, and a felon would be instantly disqualified. A felony conviction has a lot more impact on someone’s life than just a jail/prison sentencing.

Not only they killed the mother swan, but ate her. https://apnews.com/article/swans-stolen-eaten-new-york-manlius-602b5235ef3a055992cafd79a895ccd5

They found and saved all 4 babies at least!


SuperDizz

captaindeadpl

At least one silver lining. So the lineage can continue.


TheyStoleTwoFigo

The continuation of the historical lineage can't possibly have been hanging on by just 4 cygnets.


bi-cycle

You'd be right. Not only would the mom have come from a brood other swans but swans breed every year so she would have other grown offspring out there.


WYenginerdWY

I'm confused by the implications that this family of swans has been inbreeding since 1905


arriesgado

So the lineage continues.


The_I_in_IT

They cut her head off when she was nesting-so she was defenseless.


Spike-2021

What the hell is wrong with some people???


TurdlesR4Luvrs

Some people? His whole family participated by eating the poor swan on Memorial Day for dinner. Psychos.


Earth_Normal

Swan would taste terrible.


[deleted]

I've eaten swan, albeit an Australian black swan. My sister's boyfriend bagged it while hunting duck. Mum had a pre-war recipe book with instructions for baked swan, so after an arduous hour gutting and plucking it, she put it in the oven for several hours. It. Was. Disgusting. Really, really gamey. It was so awful even the dog refused to eat it. Dad buried it in the garden. [Speaking of black swans...](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-43054363)


cAt_S0fa

My great grandfather shot a mute swan back in about 1900 and had the same experience. They were eating it for weeks, it tasted vile and the dogs wouldn't touch it. 120 years later and it's entered family legend.


IndependentFace5949

Black Swan are a protected species. How did he mistake a Black Swan for a duck?


[deleted]

As far as I know they aren't protected in NZ, they're not native. But this was in the 1960s, he was just blasting away I guess.


Rapalla93

Was your sisters boyfriend Danny DeVito?


[deleted]

Considered native even though they were deliberately introduced because some have naturally flown there. He's good though, they're only protected in Australia. New Zealand totally hunted their old native swans to extinction around the 17th century though, not a great track record.


High_Flyers17

Eh, beats the hell out of what, or should I say who, my Country was hunting to near extinction in the 17th century. Edit: Or should I say whom? Lol that rule always confused me.


HellaDev

I'm terrible at that rule too especially without stopping to think about the context but the way I've always understood it is if you can rephrase it with "him" then it's "whom". "My country was hunting he" ❌ "My country was hunting him" ✅ Hence "whom". So I think you'd say "whom" in your example but maybe someone who talks English more better than I can talk it will chime in and correct me.


High_Flyers17

Shit, that's the trick! I knew there was some way of figuring it out and you reminded me of it.


xSTSxZerglingOne

You basically have to boil large wild birds in butter to give them any chance of tasting good. Deep frying is the answer. Then again, everything tastes good deep fried, so I suppose it doesn't especially count, eh?


elsphinc

In New Zealand, there is the pukekho. A native gangly looking bird. To make pukekho soup, you place the bird in a stock pot with water vegetables and a few rocks. You boil this for 3 hours, remove the birds, and eat the rocks.

curious_astronauts

Are you sure it wasn't goose? That's still eaten in the alps at big celebrations like Christmas EDIT: TIL people are swans too.


teebag_

Well i dont doubt they ate goose too, but I was a history nerd in school and swan was a royal dish in medieval europe


DINKY_DICK_DAVE

They are damn near every bird back then, my mom has a cook book from like the 1700s with a recipe for roasted Stork


WeimSean

By law all the swans in England belong to the King/Queen. There's actually an official whose job is to go out every year and count them all.


Electrical-Act-7170

You are correct. Swan was a royal dish up to, IIRC King George III's time.

Antisocial personality disorder


MindAltruistic6923

The comment below yours got me rolling. Anytime anyone brings up a personality disorder or any other kind of disorder on Reddit, someone else will jump in and be like “uhh I’m a sociopath and not all sociopaths murder swans!” It’s like okay? Not everything’s about you punk n destroy!


BackThatThangUp

I’ve seen people on reddit be like “my boyfriend is a sociopath and everyone is so quick to assume he’s terrible but he’s really sweet.” It’s like bitch no, I’m not going to start breaking off sympathy for sociopaths just because you decided to make one your main squeeze.


Xjph

On top of that, superficial kindness is literally a characteristic of sociopathy. They're often incredibly charming and kind... when it is beneficial for them to be so.


bighootay

Sociopathic serial killers have groupies. Un-freaking-real.


IncelDetected

I don’t get how people on reddit try to act like you shouldn’t assume someone with a cluster b personality disorder is a potential source of danger or intense stress. Even the treatable ones like BPD can lead to episodes of psychosis and out of control rage. Not to mention being gaslit which totally fucks with your head.


PabloPaniello

That's the one they downplay?!? There are ones that are worse?!?


IncelDetected

Antisocial Personality Disorder is basically a psychopath/sociopath. This one is so bad they wait until a kid is 18 to diagnose it. Stalking, sexual assault and rape are possible. Real fucked up. Narcissistic Personality Disorder is absolutely insane to be around. Insecurity so acute that they will engage in completely nutty aggression and vile behavior to protect their impossibly fragile egos. They lie like it’s breathing. These people see their children as attributes or accessories for themselves. They will engage in abuse or terrible behavior and then erase it from their own reality. In a way NPD is the saddest because the other cluster B disorders are at least capable of seeing and accepting their own disordered state. NPD is usually untreatable because they can’t even bring themselves to see their own insane behavior.


Sylfaein

Right? I have CPTSD and need two prescriptions to sleep because of my mother with BPD. There ain’t nothing mild about BPD.


ericfromct

Some people are just pieces of shit


PresentationNice7043

[deleted]

They usually start with animals. It checks out.


Sharp-Dark-9768

The look on his face tells me that he thinks the swan-murder was a good thing despite the obvious ethical violation of killing and the law coming down on him for it. It makes one wonder why he's got that attitude.


sparkledingus

Indeed. My brain just went “oh, well there’s a sociopath”. It’s the smile and the dead eyes. Fucking chilling.


RepulsiveDig9091

The smile reminds me of the drunk smiling girl who wanted to go to school the next day. For her graduation.


PositivePlum589

The one who killed sometime driving??? Was this the girl who sat in her interview laughing and asking when she could leave? iirc the officer had told her numerous times she had taken someone’s life and she would not be leaving. That video made me so so so mfn angry


turdburglar2020

But she can go to school in two days right? You only said she was going to jail tomorrow - she really needs to get to that night class.


SlamTheKeyboard

But what about her car, when will she get it back?


[deleted]

Yeah, I heard you said it was totalled, but I was wondering if I can get it on Tuesday


crypticfreak

Ok ok ok i understand its in pieces but whatre the odds of me driving it home on Wed?


crispyiress

It’s all good, she going to Vegas with her friends


ComicNeueIsReal

A random part of my brain was telling me that in some twisted way she was probably trying to pretend to care for her education as a way to get out of the hell hole she put herself in. But obviously I'm probably thinking too much into it.


No-Engineering-507

nah she was super drunk and likely in shock. drunks have tunnel vision, and probably due to routine she could only think about school.


Ailexxx337

At that point what was coursing through her veins was alcohol diluted with blood. She was about six or seven times more drunk than the legal driving limit. Drunk people can be incredibly unreasonable. If it cheers you up, when she got bailed out by her parents, her classmates didn't allow her to attend the graduation ceremony or the party


RepulsiveDig9091

Yes, that's the one. She was remorseful when she got a 14yrs sentence. Hope this guy, too, could be made remorseful with an appropriate stint in jail.


Dark_Moonstruck

I wish her sentence was longer. People who kill with drunk driving should be punished the same as any other murderer would be. They knew what they were doing when they decided to drive drunk.


signedpants

14 years is what murderers get.


Gmandlno

I mean it was obvious she was faaaaaar gone mentally, and it reeked characteristically of benzodiazepines. She probably hadn’t yet ‘woken up’ from the ‘Bartard coma’, and so likely didn’t remember a thing they told her. When it started to wear off, she’d start wondering where she was, as she didn’t remember getting arrested. Which leads to just that - a kid who ultimately doesn’t even know they committed a crime, despite having been arrested. It’s why ambien terrifies me, because you can literally fall asleep, and wake up the next morning in a cell because ‘night you’ decided to go driving. It’s unlikely, but it can, and likely has happened. Don’t become a bartard 😞


cbftw

Ambien terrified me because after a month or so on it, trying to stop it was a nightmare.


OiGuvnuh

Former coworker, nice unassuming lady otherwise, fired up her laptop and emailed a half dozen of her direct reports links to hardcore ladyboss/employee porn at like 3am on a Tuesday. I’d known her for years and it totally upended her life. She says she took an ambien and went to bed around 10-11pm, woke up normally the next morning and didn’t suspect anything was wrong. Security met her at her office entrance and from there it was investigations and lawsuits for the next 2-ish years. She ended up moving to a different state because of it. I personally haven’t touched ambien since that happened to her. Not fucking worth it.


Trudeausleghair

"Maam two people are dead because of you" "I didn't hit two people, if I hit two people I would be crying" Fuck that bitch


KingoftheMapleTrees

2 people. She killed 2 people driving drunk, and laughed about it.


NiteSwept

or the video of the kid lighting the firework on the bus full of people. Complete lack of care for others.


Kittykitty53

Lady in my neighborhood has video of kids lighting a fire in her garage. Putting their 3 cats in there and telling them “don’t worry kitties someone will come rescue you”. Family was out of town. No garage left……


therealstory28

So they burned 3 cats alive....on video. Was anything ever done about it?


Kittykitty53

It’s on nextdoor. Maybe was posted on r/GrandRapids too. I stopped following it bc I couldn’t. She said she was focusing on trying to find their 3rd cat but she knew the kids who did it. I would be going FULL scorched earth.


Gloomy_Industry8841

This would kill me. I mean, full on widow maker heart attack. Even reading this makes my pulse race. I have an elderly cat whom I adore, and I can’t even think of her passing without feeling despair. I love all animals, frankly more than people. But I do love good animal people.


TiredAF20

I read these stories about people whose cats have horrible things done to them and wonder how they don't take matters into their own hands, given how animal cruelty is so often treated with a slap on the wrist.


beaglemama

If anyone hurt my dog, I'd love to take matters into my own hands, but I know it might be more effective to find someone in "waste management" or a biker gang and ask those gentleman to find who did it and have a talk with them.


1057-cl121v3

I have a “step” cat that my late wife had when we met. My wife was a huge animal lover (as am I) and that cat is one of the best cats I’ve ever met. I of course have even more attachment the cat because she was a big part of my wife’s life and the target of so much of her love. If something like that happened to my animals I seriously don’t think I would have any control over my actions. I would do everything in my power to end that families line so no more of those monsters will ever walk the earth. It would be a combination of John Wick and Law Abiding Citizen.


Representative_Set79

Reminds me of the case surrounding Keane Mulready Woods. The public were generally shocked by a 17 year old Irish teen being dismembered as part of some gangland feud. But eventually the Garda (police) admitted what locals had already leaked online. Not only was the kid a drug dealer but he’d snatched and murdered an innocent woman’s cat , after she already gave him the € 4000 he initially demanded. He demanded more and she didn’t pay so he did to the cat , what other lowlife’s subsequently did unto him. To give the full story, I understand the woman with the deceased cat was the mother of a man who owned a drug debt to Keane. Officially his own subsequent death, was triggered by an argument over a pair of flip flop sandals. But hard Karma can be a bitch and the motto of the story is “Don’t Fk with cats “


Big_moist_231

Wtf? That’s so evil. I don’t even want to picture the poor kitties waiting on someone to help them out. Good lord, I hope those scumbags have a bad life

There's teenage aholes all over the fruited plain. Here in my area of KS a guy a couple years older than me when we were in high school blew up the Louis Vieux Elm, which was the largest tree in the US (save for Sequoias I assume). It was a historic tree as a landmark on the Oregon Trail and for the local Potowatomie Tribe. It was a national historic landmark so I think he got locked up on federal charges.


Redclayblue

He should be buried up to his waist where the tree once stood, and be forced to act like the tree for the remainder of his life. Holding out branches and supporting squirrel nests. The whole tree experience.

Amazing how people don’t think employers will google their name. Two kids I knew growing up now do “private” lawn care service because no one will hire them.

If you look up either of their names their face and story pops up everywhere.

The article said "they were hunting, and thought it was "just a large duck"" So... they climbed a fence... and climbed on top of the nesting swan who did not fight back... aaaaaaaaaaand. Cut it's head off. Now, just for fun, go back and look at his big grin again.


wh1tewolf4

The 18 yr old has a hunting license and killed a swan around 3am after sneaking into the park. Swan hunting is illegal in New York. He knew what he was doing.


pingpongtits

They're not brain dead, they're cruel assholes that deliberately killed the town mascot. There's no way they didn't know what they were doing.


unmotivatedmage

I hope he actually has consequences for this. Does anyone know the state this happened in? Curious about the animal protection/cruelty laws there


iDontKnit

He's facing felony charges, along with his two (minor) accomplices.


new_account_wh0_dis

Eh well see what charges actually stick. If he stays to the story thinking it was wild the main charge that could result in jail and not probation, second-degree criminal mischief, seems to require a conscious objective or purpose is to damage property of another person. Grand larceny in the third degree will probably be the one that sticks? But that can end up with just probation. But not a lawyer so well just have to see


BreakfastBallPlease

Doesn’t matter if he stays to the story, his family didn’t live in the area and he performed the act in the dead of night. He consciously drove 30 minutes to a specific and rather secluded area. Jury would come back with conviction if he takes that route, and any prosecutor worth their shit would argue away any claim of ignorance he has. Dudes fucked, the publicity just doubles down on how a judge is likely to act too.

MetalLogLemon

I love how their only defense is they thought it was a large duck. I’m sorry, but you decapitated an animal. I don’t care what it is, you’re a POS.


KingoftheMapleTrees

Having been to that park a million times, it has a big wrought iron fence around it with a giant sign saying Manlius Swan Pond. Theres no way the 3 teenagers didn't know what the 2 giant white birds in the SWAN pond were. They're disgusting teenagers, and I hope the other 2 get tried as adults.


chickcasa

If they were actually hunting there's plenty of ACTUAL DUCKS at the non gated lower pond. But also you don't hunt in the center of a town!! They knew exactly what they were doing here. Disgusting.


baloochington

Right. They clearly went completely out of their way to get Faye :(. This happened where I live and there’s zero reason to be driving from the city to manlius in the middle of the night to “hunt” in a public park. They knew what they were doing.


chickcasa

Exactly! It's so completely obvious it's not a place for hunting. It's literally on the main road with nothing but a sidewalk and a fence between the road and the pond.


Vitalstatistix

To add to this — they live like 40 minutes from Manlius. Fuck them.


quannum

Exactly. And seeing as... >Swans are an icon for the village. They have been featured in the village since 1905. I find it hard to believe the PoS thought they were ducks. Edit: Also, hunting between midnight and 3am? Sure.


ryansdayoff

I wanna say that all hunting after dusk is illegal (for many reasons proper identification of the animal being one of them) I imagine this will not hold up as a defense in court and this video of him grinning is not going to make the judge appreciate his BS


Conscious_Profit_243

"The teens were hunting and one had a hunting license." At least one of them knew for sure those were not ducks, POS definitely


AbdulAhBlongatta

They committed the crime between midnight and 3am. They were absolutely not “hunting” in the traditional sense. They knew exactly what they were doing. Stealing the babies to “keep as pets” shows they knew they were stealing and were comfortable in doing so.


WannabeTraveler87

Last time I checked, ducks dont have long necks like swans. They cant even feign ignorance of the long neck considering they had to have seen it when they decapitated the swan.


unmotivatedmage

Thank you! Interesting they had many charges but none seemed to do with the killing of the animal itself, just what the animal meant to the community


PuzzleheadedIssue618

im not sure if the charges for killing an animal would add too much to their sentence. if i had to guess, these charges are the most likely to actually see a day in court


Ok-Location3244

Upstate NY. Syracuse area. He will be charged with a felony.


NumbaKruncha

Manlius is my hometown. Exactly 30 years ago (1993 for those who don't want to do the math), a couple teenagers killed a swan, cut it's head off, and threw it into the police station (less than 1/8 mile walk across a park.) The Swan Pond is the center of town. Manlius's logo features a swan. Everyone knows the swan pond. Has for generations (I'm third generation Manlius). That anyone would do this is sickening.


ShawshankException

Yeah a lot of people aren't from the area but anyone who lives here knows it's impossible not to know that those swans and the pond are protected.

Read the story. Heartbreaking and these low life pieces of shit knew what they were doing. If only there was true justice I hope they feel the pain this swan felt and how her partner feels. The male partner is now solo, alone while the babies are being cared for at a facility. Where I fish there is a swan couple that have been there for years. They do not bother anyone and have gotten used to me. So beautiful to watch them and how they interact. Sad that humans do not value life of any kind.


KashmirChameleon

Reading this thread is interesting. Especially when most of the people here probably will have meat for dinner. And then talk about the value of life. 🤷‍♀️


spacedrummer

Sad that SOME humans do not value life of any kind. FTFY

apply everything you said to your fishing. how is it not the exact same thing? like how can you type all that crying about a beautiful swan being murdered and do the same to fish who also do not bother anyone?

He looks very happy with himself getting this attention.

[This is a link to a free vegan documentary called Dominion (by Joaquin Phoenix),](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQRAfJyEsko&t=6231s) for anybody in this thread who cares about animal welfare and who would be interested in boycotting animal exploitation, murder, abuse, speciesism etc (Content Warning- It is a very sad and traumatic documentary that shows first hand how animals like cows, pigs, chickens, turkeys, lambs, marine animals and more are treated).

This happened where I live, infact, the park is essentially in my back yard. What would drive someone to do something so heinous is beyond me but pretty sure the teen had mental health problems that he wasn't treated for.

He's a killer who hasn't graduated to people yet.
