Bristol Palin has sparked anger and resentment in many Dancing with the Stars fans but no one quite feels the frustration like Steven Cowan, the 67-year-old man from Wisconsin who faces 10 years in prison for shooting his television and turning the gun on his wife.
That’s right ladies and gentleman, Madison, Wisconsin authorities have confirmed that the man “felt [Bristol] Palin was not a good dancer and was only on the show because of her famous mother.”
After blasting the TV, the agitated man turned the weapon on his wife but she managed to escape.
The antics of the clearly delusional man (who, I should mention, authorities believe is bipolar) initiated an overnight standoff with a SWAT team.
I mean, I too feel the frustration of having to endure the pain of watching Bristol Palin flop through her performances each week but to actually shoot the television over it? That’s a little harsh.
Cowan’s moment of weakness may cost him up to 10 years in prison if convicted of the charge (second-degree reckless endangerment), not to mention the cash to replace his broken television. Sure, 10 years in prison and a couple thousand dollars for a new television may seem a little costly for a reckless mistake but permanently erasing Bristol Palin from his television screen, now that’s priceless!
Here’s the dance that sparked the whole thing:

Yowza. Poor guy. I feel him. She's awful on the dance floor. She has all the personality of a corpse.

She isn't a star!!! She got knocked up underage and that makes her a teenage activist?

She is on the same level as Kate Gosselin. Dwts is no longer a joy to watch when Bristol can beat the pro's. Come on people.
