Who knew selfies could induce such anger?

Carl Puia, a 74-year-old man from Glastonbury, Connecticut, was arrested this week for alleged criminal mischief after destroying a half-dozen copies of Kim Kardashian's selfie book, Selfish, at a local Barnes & Noble.

He must really hate Kim.

According to People, Puia turned himself in to the police earlier this week, nearly five months after the incident, because security camera footage surfaced of him spreading a red liquid over the books.

The Glastonbury People Department released a statement in which they explained that Puia left a typed note along with his crime in which he explained "his dislike of Ms. Kardashian and people like her."

Puia has since been released on $2,500 bail and we hope he learns that he doesn't have to pay attention to everything he dislikes.
