I would be willing to bet that Nicholas Coyle has had some other incidents in his past that most would find disturbing. Harming innocent wild life is a red flag and this kid needs help.

Hairsonfire - Take it easy dude... seeing that there is a hockey stick involved I'm sure this was some drunken college kid humor... Okay a rabbit is dead, and it's not funny, but college kids do plenty of stupid stuff on a daily basis. Don't convict this kid of being a psycho for this one story.

Dink..grow up...Acts of cruelty to animals are not mere indications of a minor personality flaw in the abuser; they are symptomatic of a deep mental disturbance. Research in psychology and criminology shows that people who commit acts of cruelty to animals don’t stop there—many of them move on to their fellow humans. “Murderers ... very often start out by killing and torturing animals as kids,” says Robert K. Ressler, who developed profiles of serial killers for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

Studies have shown that violent and aggressive criminals are more likely to have abused animals as children than criminals who are considered non-aggressive. A survey of psychiatric patients who had repeatedly tortured dogs and cats found that all of them had high levels of aggression toward people as well. According to a New South Wales newspaper, a police study in Australia revealed that “100 percent of sexual homicide offenders examined had a history of animal cruelty.” To researchers, a fascination with cruelty to animals is a red flag in the backgrounds of serial killers and rapists. According to the FBI’s Ressler, “These are the kids who never learned it’s wrong to poke out a puppy’s eyes.”

Wonder why it took so long to apprehend him. And why he's out on bail when cruely to animals is a felony in this state. I predict he'll get a slap on the wrist or a few hours of community service for this dispicable act.

Great input Mike. This is a far cry beyond "normal college kid humor" even more so that it could be referred to as such. When I was a child there was a teenager in my neighborhood that was arrested for killing a cat...years later he was put in jail for countless other criminal activities. This guy needs help.

this our future...lol...Hock,connolly, and Coyle you all must make your school and parents proud...thank god you all are only here for 4years..
