Because He's an Idiot

We don't always grow 'em smart here in the heartland.

Tyler Groth and his cousin, David Groth, are the latest examples.

They spent the evening of June 6th with cans of red spray paint in hand at Holy Hill.

"We didn't want to damage anything," Groth said. "We just wanted to spray something because we knew it could be cleaned up. We didn't want to do any permanent damage to anything. So we thought it was one of the minor things we could do."

Trevey(of local news station TMJ4): "Are you religious?

Groth: "No."

Trevey: "Do you have a problem with people who are?"

Groth: "No."

Trevey asked him why he sprayed satanic graffiti on these holy shrines.

Groth said, "'cause I'm a punk - that's what I do."

Trevey: "Do you know you spelled Satan wrong?"

Groth: "No - I'm not aware of that."

Trevey: "You spelled it satin - like the fabric."

Groth: "See - if I was big into the devil, I would have spelled it right."

Trevey: "Do you think that's funny?"

Groth: "That I spelled it wrong? No - I'm a bad speller."

Sheriff deputies arrested Tyler Groth on Wednesday night after he and his cousin, David Groth came back to Holy Hill to show off their work to friends; perhaps the dumbest part of this whole fiasco. The two dunderheads could receive three years in prison and a $10,000 fine if convicted.
