Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children.

Margarete Steiff

Sometimes the titles are really obvious.

The world is a strange, strange place.What would possess a man in New York to steal two cordless saws, and proceed to rampage about with them, ultimately slashing open a man's chest? I, myself feel sorry for the workers charged with using the saws. Whenever I use power tools, I don't prepare myself to make sure I know where the tool is at all times, lest a whack-a-doo abscond with it and start assaulting passers by.

Any ways, dudes going nuts and attacking people with stolen weapons is pretty mundane. What isn't mundane, is the description of the guy in this particular incident. He is in his thirties, thin, and... may or may not be carrying a teddy bear.

Don't you just love whackos?

That's disturbing. But I do love wackos. I'm related to most of them.

Amy's right, that is disturbing. I think I heard about this over the weekend, crazy f'n people out there.

I came to your blog because I see you in Amy's comments all the time and they are usually pretty cute...but tell me, 84 year olds???

I'm Scooter, but I might be a troll. said...

I would think an eighty four year old would be flattered to know that I looked at her ass.
