Oh, where to start with this one? Let's begin with the basic facts of the case, which to nobody's surprise involves two lifeguards, a pet rabbit named Lucky, and, of course, California:
Nick Sigmon, 18, and Paul Collins, 20, are accused of taping an illegal M-1000 -- a large firecracker equivalent to a quarter stick of dynamite -- to the rabbit and throwing her into Lake Don Castro.
When the M-1000 failed to explode, Sigmon -- remember, he's a lifeguard -- rushed into the water and saved Lucky from drowning.
There is an organization whose sole reason for existing is to watch out for the welfare of pet rabbits. When the House Rabbit Society caught wind of the incident, they hopped, as it were, into action.
"Lucky is recovering at a foster owner's home," according to the Associated Press article. A foster owner's home.
What about the malefactors, Sigmon and Collins?
"I think that a lot of people are judging us without knowing us at all," Sigmon said. Asked why he fitted Lucky with the explosive, he said, "Um, that's a real tough question to answer."
