Lice make me angry!

Well, they do, lice do make meangery. Although, it has to be said, not as angry as this particular Russian:

A Russian karate expert has been charged with beating to death a
61-year-old woman and her son, whom he accused of infecting his wife
with lice, an investigator said Friday.

That's a fairly strong reaction to a simple infestation problem, don't you think?

The drunk 26-year-old burst into a neighboring room in his hostel
Tuesday and used karate moves to kill the pair, state investigator
Eduard Abdullin said by telephone from Kazan, a city 700 km (430 miles)
east of Moscow.

"He literally beat them to death with his hands and feet," Abdullin
said. "The family were poor and drank a lot. He blamed them for
infecting his wife and the entire corridor with lice."

Ah, drink was taken, as you so often find out in these Russian stories. And further, 7 years of karate does turn you into something of a weapon.

And as we know from innumerable shooting episodes, the combination of drink and lethal weapons does not bode well.
