July 31, 200719 yr NEW YORK (Reuters) - A New York man has been charged with beating his mother to death with a barbell after losing his temper while watching a baseball game on television. Michael Anthony, 25, was watching the New York Mets lose a game on Saturday from his home in the borough of Queens when he began furiously banging on the walls, Queens District Attorney Richard Brown said in a statement on Monday. His father Fred Fischman shouted at him to stop, but Anthony punched him in the face and threw him to the ground, according to the criminal charges. When Anthony's mother, Maria Fischman, 61, tried to intervene, prosecutors said he stabbed her once in the head with a knife before chasing her into a bedroom where he struck her several times with the 20 pound (9 kilogram) barbell. "It is difficult to imagine a crime more heinous than that of a son viciously attacking his parents and, in the process, fatally beating his mother to death," Brown said. Anthony has been remanded in custody and faces a maximum of life in prison if convicted. http://www.reuters.com/article/domesticNew...=22&sp=true Just terrible.

July 31, 200719 yr typical mets fan Come on man, we don't need to go there. This is a sick man, it has nothing to do with his affiliation.
July 31, 200719 yr that's horrible. I feel sorry for him. I dont. I feel sorry for his family. The dude was stupid enough to do that and couldnt control his emotions over a sports game.

July 31, 200719 yr There's got to be another underlying cause to this. Of course there is. Healthy and sane people don't assault and kill their parents, even if their favorite team loses.
