A Navy man who got mad when someone mocked him as a “nerd” over the Internet climbed into his car and drove 1,300 miles from Virginia to Texas to teach the other guy a lesson...When he finally arrived, Tavares burned the guy’s trailer down.
Feel free to jump in any time about mocking a guy who lives in a trailer!
Investigators say Tavares boiled over when Anderson called him a nerd and posted a digitally altered photo making Tavares look like a skinny boy in high-water pants, holding a gun and a laptop under a “Revenge of the Nerds” sign.
Tavares obtained Anderson’s real name and hometown from Anderson’s Web page…
So everybody just take a deep breath and chill!
