Girlfriend gives Wii for Christmas, boyfriend drags her down stairs

A not so happy holidays...

Girlfriend gives Wii for Christmas, boyfriend drags her down stairs Image 1

A New Hampshire couple hasn't had much of a happy Christmas -- Heath Blom didn't get his remote-controlled airplane, and his girlfriend Randi Young was dragged down a flight of stairs by her hair.

Young and Blom lived with his grandparents -- as the story goes, upon receiving the Nintendo Wii from Young, Blom began "disparaging the Wii to his grandma and angering his girlfriend, who accused him of being an ingrate." She called him names for "not liking the Wii", and it went from there.

Blom claims the cops, who state the fight ensued once Blom realized he didn't get the plane he asked for, are inaccurate on the details of the story, saying he didn't want the $1,000 RC plane because "you can’t fly [one] in the snow."

“He said he hated it. It hurt [my] feelings,” remarked Young, who said her boyfriend “told his grandparents that he changed his mind” about waiting until his birthday and wanted them to buy him the pricey plane for Christmas. “When he didn’t get the plane, he got really upset. He acted like a 10-year-old kid,” she said.

Young began packing her bags and hid the console, at which point Blom got angry, thinking "she was walking off with it."

“He dragged me down two flights of stairs, by the hair,” Young said.

But Blom said, “I stood in the doorway trying to block her. She punched me in the eye. She punched me three times. I said ‘That’s it.’ And I pulled her hair.”

Ricky Young Sr., 52, said Blom and his daughter, who he said was left with a “knot on her head” and a swollen nose, “fight like little kids. . . But to fight on Christmas, of all days. That’s crazy.”

The police arrived at the residence at 1:55pm on Christmas Day, arresting the two for assault.

"This was the worst Christmas ever,” Young said later.

    This is clearly just because the guy id a spolied idiot and didn't get a $1000 RC plane. She probably could have given him a PS3 and a 70 inch plasma tv and he still would have thrown a hissy fit.

    My thoughts exactly. He's just a manchild who got a little too caught up with gifts on the mind. Though to be honest it sounds like the couple was already treading on thin ice anyways, so things probably reached a boiling point. It's just too bad it was over a game console. At least no one was actually killed this time around.

    Maybe we should kick the girl in the junk, too, though. Equal rights. If he's telling the truth, they're both idiots. Haha.

    I dunno whom is really telling the truth, but TBH getting upset for not getting an expensive (albeit cool) RC toy? Getting something that costs like over $300 with tax, and complaining?

    I got less (sorta) than I expected at Christmas, but you don't see me acting like a total jerk >_>

    Ingrate indeed >_>

    *comes to the nad-kicking party*

    Ok...... The guy gets a Nintendo Wii, one of the hardest to find and most sought after consoles I have ever seen, and he complains and throws a Hissy fit. That right there is grounds for the nad kicking, BUT IT GETS BETTER! He starts fighting with his girl and ends up pulling her down not one, but TWO flights of stairs! That is grounds for cutting his nads off! BUT WAIT, THERE IS MORE!

    This dick head got more then a lot of kids I know, including my 19 year old self and my 19 and 20 year old friends. Toss in my 5 to 12 year old cousins who got less then him and you have the grounds to cut this whiny spoiled little runts nads off, light them on fire, and then force feed them to him.

    I personally got handed 100 bucks and was told to wait till tax time for a 360, so I said "Heck, I have waited 3+ years for it, what is another 3 weeks?" He got a Wii and went "Wa! I wanted the Plane! I hate you, you are the worst girl ever! My old girl would have gotten it for me! WAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

    I say we wear toga's to the nad kicking, to remind him of his college days... Oh wait..... He obviously didn't go to college. Right, so we should wear football jersey's and letter men jackets, to remind him of how it was in High school, when everyone kicked his ass and shoved him in lockers.

    I don't care if his girl punched him or not, that is in no way grounds to drag her down the flippin' stairs by her hair. What a man, he can abuse a woman. I would buy the plane for a young one in the family, just to piss him off some more.

    The best part is that this became a news story so his name and face have been splashed around the globe.

    I imagine he will go on Google News, like the nasty little ego tripper he is to see what the articles said....

    And he is going to read thousands of people calling him a complete tosser. Now that is the BEST christmas present he's ever going to get.

    The SHAME of having the "whole" globe wanting to kick you in the nads LOL. How is this dude ever going to walk down the street again. I can imagine people refusing him service, taking the piss out of him on the bus.

    Go the INTERNET!
