Mom turns kid's Xbox off, gets taco thrown in face photo

This is the best story you'll read all day, guaranteed. A young man from Deltona is currently sitting in jail after assaulting his mother with a taco. According to reports, 54-year-old Dena Moir turned her 19-year-old son's Xbox 360 off, and he threw the delicious Mexican snack in her frail face, making sure to also call her, and I quote, "a retard."

I told you this story was good.

The trouble started when young Zachery refused to come downstairs for dinner, despite being called a number of times. In an act of brave discipline, Dena marched upstairs and turned the Xbox off, only for Zachery to shove her angrily and order her out of the room. 

A little later, Dena was cleaning the kitchen when her son came down to eat. Deciding she was in the way, Zach pushed his mother again, before smacking her on the arm and throwing the tortilla-wrapped missile with beef-themed vengeance. This is also when he called her, and I quote again, "a retard."

Zachery Moir is now being held without bail at Volusia County Branch Jail, on charges of domestic violence battery. This is because even if you act like a complete infant, you can still be tried as a man.

I may have to side with the kid on this one. You never turn off a man's console in the middle of a game. NEVER.

What was he playing?


I bet it was that Burger King game that teaches you how to shove burgers into unsuspecting victims faces.

Why the fuck is this a story?! However annoying the ones about supposed game induced murder are, a murder deserves news coverage. This is a one-sided food fight and really should never have become part of he knowledge contained in my brain.

there's this cool feature on the 360 that not many people know about. its called the "pause" button, and its right on the controller. this magical button "pauses" the game, so you can return to it at a later time.

See even if you ban guns, violence will continue. This little taco terrorist needs to be forced to work in the prison cafeteria, until he learns to respect both food and his mother.

He threw a taco in her face. If you can't laugh at that then you sir, live in a world of dark trees and long corridors.

It doesn't make any GD sense! I'd give my left nut to have tacos thrown at me! Who is going to complain about that? Also, the term "retard" is always funny. Also, I apologize if I offended anyone out there that is actually "retarded".

Dude, if I had done that to my mom, I'd be rotting in a ditch a couple of hour later. Kids these days; no respect at all.

I flicked a pickled beet at my sister once at the dinner table and everyone laughed. Probably because I missed.

How bad a parent do you have to be to not discipline him after he shoves you out of his room? Besides that, what the hell kind of action is that for a 19 year old?

If that was my kid that one, shoved me out of the room that I pay for and Two threw a delicious snack into my face, I'd fucking end him. Screw calling the cops.

@strife381: The taco wasn't talking, the 360 on the other hand was the glad they hauled his noob ass away.

If my kid threw a taco at me like that I'd fking ram it up his ass, and toss his 360.

Someone needs to make a flash game based off of this. Or an XNA game. That would be best.

She won't be shooping any woop soon.


Still... He was nineteen... seriously?

Judging by that pic I would say a suitable punishment would be neutering. (if that isn't him in the pic. both.)

I don't know what's funnier to me: Him getting made fun of for going to jail for throwing a taco or Him going to a federal pound-me-in-the-ass prison for throwing a taco.

Lack of discipline, seriously this kid probably needed a whoopin and his parents where too much of push overs to do anything about it. So when his mom decided to throw down some ground rules, he loses his shit and shoves mom and slaps her with a taco.

bitch needs to learn u don't turn off a system when its being played. i remember with the old consoles how u could hit the power button and hold it in and the system would stay on. i used to hit it just to freak the person out. sad thing is i would have to sit there with the button held for the next hour till they found a save point.

Anyone who doesn't think this is funny is a retard and deserves to have a taco thrown in his or her face.

Listen to your mom. If you don't do what she says, she will do something to send you into a raging taco frenzy and you will end up in jail because you were a whiny bitch who couldn't handle your mom turning off your video game.

The taco is funny. The rest of it is just sad and pathetic.

I was kinda thinking that this whole thing was pretty ridiculous until I read Wedge's comment.

Yeah, that guy's a douche for wasting a taco. I haven't eaten for three days and this dude's throwing them at his mom? What about the children in Ethiopia?

That guy needs to fry. Hopefully they can make some tasty tacos out of him. Maybe some sloppy joes. I'm down with either.

Pfffft, some parents just don't get it when you say "5 more minutes!". Then they get all upset when you try to pass them a delicious taco, amirite?

TACO TACO, BURRITO BURRITO!

Seriously now, what the hell? Family values and respect seem to have vanished alongside memory cards. This guy is 5 dozens of spanking sessions away from becoming a man. It is unacceptable that someone this age harms a woman. Hurting his mom does nothing but make him a huge asshole unworthy of the free stay at this poor woman's womb.

I'm not a swearing fan, but F*ck him. And f*ck him hard.
