- Not everyone is going to get along and disputes can happen over petty things. But sometimes those petty disputes turn into violent murders. - Say hello to my little friend. (explosion) - On occasion people can get on each other's nerves over silly things. And while those things
can be completely trivial, those same arguments can
turn the calmest person into a cold blooded murderer. Today we'll be looking
at the strangest cases of people who murdered someone else over the weirdest reason. These are the 10 most
bizarre motives for murder. Number one are concert tickets. When people say that
they'd kill to see their favorite artist in concert,
sometimes they aren't kidding. That's just what happened in March of 2008 when 39 year old Robert
Lyons from Chicago, Illinois, murdered his 61 year old
mother Linda in cold blood. Robert's murderous rage was brought on by his mother's refusal to
buy him expensive seats at an Avril Lavigne concert. Yes Robert was so angry about not being able to see Lavigne's show
that he hit his mother over the head with a bottle of cognac and then preceded to stab her
nine times until she was dead. But it didn't end there
because once she hit the floor, the deranged man decided to pour household chemical products all over her
body including drain cleaner, tile cleaner and insecticide. And afterwards, Robert
calmly drove to a bookstore, bought a book and then
drove around for hours until he finally confessed to police. Soon after he was arrested at
a nearby Hooters Restaurant and was later sentenced to 40 years in prison for the murder. Number two is being in the Matrix. In July of 2002, 48 year
old Tonda Lynn Ansley of Hamilton, Ohio, killed her landlord by shooting her in the
head multiple times. The reason Ansley believed that she was living in a fantasy world. She believed that was being brainwashed by not only her landlord
but three other people that she knew, all of whom
were not real human beings but instead computer programs. That's right, Tonda was convinced that she was actually in the Matrix. When questioned, she said that she thought her experience of killing a woman was just a computer simulation
created by sentient robots. Unbelievably Tonda was not found guilty of the gruesome murder
by reason of insanity and went to an institution
instead of prison. But shockingly she was not
alone in using this defense. In fact, several other murderers have used what is now referred to
as The Matrix Defense in court over the years to try to get away with their crimes. Number three is TV remote. While some people think that
they're in a fantasy world, others are sound of mind when it comes to the decisions that they make. In February of 2011, 13
year old Alexander Zajac from Russia got into a heated argument with his 17 year old sister Juliana. Like typical siblings,
the pair were arguing over the possession of
the television remote and ultimately which program
that they were going to watch. However the argument took an unexpected and deadly turn when
a frustrated Alexander stormed off only to return
with his hunting rifle. In a disturbing and sudden turn of events, Alexander shot his
sister square in the face at super close range,
killing her instantly. Though he admitted that
he had done the crime, police could do very little as he could not be charged for the
murder due to his young age. Number four are speed bumps. In June of 2010, 48 year
old Fairfax County, Virginia resident Steven Carr had
been pleading with the local government to deal with cars that had been racing down his road far too fast. He finally got them to install a speed bump near his house, and while many of his neighbors
seemed to support the move, one neighbor in particular
was greatly annoyed. That neighbor was 44 year old David Patton who violently confronted Carr about it one morning in his own front yard. Patton was arrested and charged
with misdemeanor assault for the confrontation. But soon after being released
to await his trial date, Patton decided to go back and break into Carr's house to get revenge. He tied up Carr and his
girlfriend at gunpoint and when Carr tried to escape the ties, he shot him killing him instantly. Carr's roommate arrived home
to witness the situation and was able to distract
Patton long enough that both he and Carr's girlfriend were miraculously able to escape. Patton was again arrested and charged, this time with second degree murder, all over a speed bump. Number five is being teased. On October 3rd, 2012, 16
year old Shaquira Dorsey was beaten to death by
a fellow 16 year old female classmate while outside
their apartment complex in Warrensville Heights, Ohio. The deadly brawl was caused
when Dorsey apparently teased the other girl
for simply passing gas and was soon after physically
attacked over the jokes. Disgustingly a number of people stood by and watched the fight
happen, many of them adults. One of them was Dorsey's own stepfather who waited until she had
taken quite a few punches before finally stepping in
and breaking up the fight. Witnesses say that Dorsey
stood up and walked around dizzily around the lawn
before eventually passing out and landing on the grass
where she soon died. The other girl, who's name is protected because of her young age, was
charged with manslaughter. Number six is a free breakfast. On October 23rd, 2010,
15 year old Joshua Davies convinced his ex-girlfriend
Rebecca Ailward to meet him in the woods just outside their village in Wales. The two had broken up after
dating just three months. But since Josh was academically
gifted and a church goer, both Rebecca and her
mother Sonia were ecstatic about the idea of the two
getting back together. However, once Rebecca arrived at the spot where they were supposed to meet, Josh approached her from behind and bashed her skull in with a rock. But what's truly disturbing
is that several days before the murder, Josh
fantasized with his friends about killing her and actually
asked what they would do if he actually went through with it. His friend jokily replied that he would buy Josh breakfast if he did it. It was discovered on
Josh's phone just two days before the murder that
he texted that friend, you may just owe me a breakfast. After going through with the murder, he later preceded to give
his friends chilling details of his actions afterwards and
even showed them the body, making sure to tell his friend that he wanted his free breakfast. He was ultimately found
guilty of the murder and was sentenced to 14 years in prison. Number seven is texting in a theater. If you've been to a movie theater, you've likely seen the ads
to turn your cell phone off because it can be
distracting to other people. How distracting? Well someone figured enough to kill over. On January 13th, 2014,
43 year old Chad Olson was sitting in a theater
in Wesley Chapel, Florida, watching the movie Lone
Survivor with his wife. Periodically during the preview screening, he pulled out his phone to text his three year old
daughter who was at home. However, seated behind him
was 71 year old retired Tampa police captain, Curtis Reeves, Jr., who quickly became annoyed by the light from the cell phone that Olson was using. Now originally he had politely
asked Olson if he could stop, but when Olson refused
claiming that they were only the previews, an argument broke out. Olson then became aggressive throwing popcorn at Reeves while yelling. That is when Reeves pulled out his gun and shot Olson in the
chest, killing him instantly and wounding his wife in the hand. Although he murdered a man for texting, Reeves claimed to the police that the shot was fired in self-defense. Number eight is unfriended on Facebook. On January 31st, 2012, in
Mountain City, Tennessee, 23 year old Billy Jean Hayworth and 36 year old Billy Clay Payne
were murdered in cold blood all because they unfriended
someone on Facebook. That someone was 30
year old Janelle Potter, who after moving to the city in 2005, had a lot of trouble making friends. Now Janelle had numerous health problems which caused her to spend
most of her time in her parent's house relying on
social media for friendships. But one day after a disagreement online, Billy Clay and Billy Jean
sent Janelle angry messages and even unfriended her from Facebook. That's when Janelle's father Marvin and her boyfriend Jamie hunted
down Hayworth and Payne, shooting them both. But the circumstances
get even more disturbing as it turns out that Janelle had used fake Facebook accounts
to bully herself online and even coaxed her loved ones into committing those murders. Her and her family where
charged with first degree murder and sentenced to life in prison. Number nine are Mondays. Many people hate Mondays,
but one person let it get the best of them. It was a relatively normal
day in San Diego, California, on Monday January 29th, 1979. That is of course until
16 year old Brenda Spencer started shooting at kids outside Cleveland Elementary School. The school happened to be right across the street from her house, so she decided to grab her
semi-automatic Ruger rifle, starting by killing the school's
principal and custodian, she moved into classrooms
injuring eight children and a police officer. She then holed up in her
house, talking to a journalist over the phone before eventually
surrendering to police. When the reporter asked
her why she would do such a horrible thing, she
chillingly told them simply, I don't like Mondays. Spencer was tried as an adult and was convicted of two counts of murder and assault with a deadly weapon. Today, she is still serving
her indefinite life sentence. And number ten is celebrity obsession. Born on May 29th, 1955, John Hinckley, Jr. quickly developed a love for
Hollywood star Jody Foster after he saw one of her earliest movies, the 1976 Scorsese crime drama Taxi Driver. Hinckley's unnatural obsession
led him to stalk the actress and repeatedly attempted to make contact. However having no luck doing that, he decided the only way to meet her was to become famous as well. And to him there was no
better way to become famous than becoming infamous. On March 30th, 1981,
Hinckley decided that he would accomplish this by taking a revolver to the Hilton Hotel in Washington DC and attempted to assassinate
President Ronald Reagan. As the American president was
leaving a conference there, Hinckley fired six times. But he only managed to injure Reagan along with a police officer and
a secret service agent, who he ended up killing was
press secretary James Brady. After the shooting, Hinckley was arrested but was found not guilty
by reason of insanity. He was confined to Saint
Elizabeth's Hospital in Washington DC but was
released on September 10th, 2016 to his elderly mother's care. So those were the 10 most
bizarre motives for murder. But as always, I want to know from you, do you know of another
