Punching a Corpse. Now that is a grudge!
Would you be mad enough at someone to attack their corpse? Well, one man was. He walked into a funeral and started punching the corpse. Mourners attacked the man and he was arrested. The article reports that he is undergoing a psychiatric evaluation. Surprise, Surprise. Below is the full story from the Daily Telegraph. I wonder if the organist started playing "Eye of the Tiger".

THEY say don't kick a man while he's down. What about punch?
A man has been arrested for attacking a corpse in its casket during a funeral, punching the dead body in front of horrified mourners.
Orlando police alleged that Timothy Cleary of of Apopka, Florida, entered Harvest Baptist Church in Orlando during a funeral and proceeded to punch and attack the body inside the displayed casket.
Cleary was then attacked by mourners who called 911 and police arrested him soon after.
Bail was set at $350.
While some Australian websites are reporting that Cleary has not been required to undergo a mental health evaluation, Florida's WKMG-TV reported says that he has been ordered to do so.

Maybe the dead dude had it coming. Maybe he was banging his wife, or raped his kid or something f-up like that. Now it would of been funny if he shot the dead dude. Either way he was probally charged with abuse of a corps.

Probably deep rooted anger. He needs help. If he could do that he might do it to a helpless old lady or child. Sick. I like humor but can't think of anything funny to say about this. TCSS
Q. What did the bartender say to the horse at the bar? A. Why the long face?

Maybe the corpse had it coming? I'd like to see his defense in court. Is it illegal in the State of Florida to hit a dead person?
