A man in unincorporated Antioch in Illinois was charged on Tuesday with shooting and killing his neighbor over a noisy leaf blower earlier this month. 59-year-old William Martys was working in his yard with a leaf blower when he was shot in the head and killed during an argument with his neighbor, 79-year-old Ettore Lacchei, who the Lake County Sheriff's Office said had "various perceived grievances" with Martys.

    Yeah I'd never hire a company that would use gas blowers, the noise pollution is fucking insane. If I had a plan to stay at my last apartment any longer than I did I would have really let them have it for fucking up my Tuesday mornings every week from the company they hired.
