Anger Issues (UPDATED)

  • Preston Smith was sitting outside in his Washington Heights home, drinking with a friend of more than 40 years, when the two "had a couple of words" and the friend came at him with a chainsaw, according to family and police.

    Smith, 55, was badly cut on his hand and rushed to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where he was undergoing surgery today in hopes of saving his fingers, according to his mother Mildred Smith.

    "You can't tell him that it's going to be all right," she told reporters.

    Preston and the friend were in the backyard in the 1000 block of 103rd Street when they got into an argument around 2 a.m. today, police said.
Subject was not in custody, so if you see someone wandering around with a chainsaw and he isn't looking at trees, be aware.

UPDATE: In Custody.

Amazingly, when the arresting officers did a pat-down, they found TWO MORE chainsaws and a spare magazine chain for one of the saws. The suspect will also be charged with having an expired Chainsaw Owner Identification Card.

Thanks - laughed out loud at that one. I love cop humor.

SCC keep up the good work - it matters.

I think walking down N. Michigan Avenue with a chain saw would be a good deterrent on wilding.

Could you see a bunch of people walking down N. Michigan revving up a couple of dozen chain saws?

Visualize that - where you see an arm only, still holding onto a purse or iPhone. Maybe the fingers still trying to grip it.

Wilders would only try stealing twice.

Plus, the arms could be used and recycled for a good display at the Michigan Avenue Apple store.

The slogan would be, "I'd give my right arm for an iPhone."

If the victim dies are we going to see his picture on the news, wearing his cap and gown? His family lamenting that he was going to be a professional basketball player/rap star and in the midst of turning his life around?

Will Shitcago now require a CCCP (Chainsaw Concealed Carry Permit) to legally carry/transport
Chainsaws in Chicago?

Ban chainsaws, knives, ice picks, screw drivers, hammers, saws, baseball bats and anything else that the animals can use to mame and/or kill. But keep corruption, let violent felons out of prison, tie the hands of LE and let IL keep falling into the abyss. Liberal states like IL are hell on earth.

Since gun control failed so miserably they have re branded their attempt" gun reform".
So it will not be chain saw control.

We want to ban automatic chain saws!.... No, all chain saws advance one link per trigger pull.

Nobody needs a chain saw that moves that many links. This isn't the wild northwest! Nobody should need a chainsaw that has a bar over 12 inches.

If we didn't have chain saws, we'd have to kick some ash.

There was already a weed-whacker murder a couple years back...

Son flipped his wig and beat his old man to death with the stupid thing.

Gad... Imagine if he was able to get it started O_o?

What next?

People going after each other with nippers, pincers, needle-nose pliers (Hey... Kinda like that one. Grab a finger, a nose, snatch a piece out of an unruly ass etc) or those small, spring-tension pruning shears?

Scene: 3am in a gangway somewhere in the fabled 011, 007, 015, 006 or other place in Chicago where God Almighty seems to have turned his back...

Dialog: "Imma fuck yo fonky ass up!"

Cue: Old kitchen chairs and milk crates falling over, feet running, bottles breaking, yelling, crying, fervent religious testimony under extreme pain and duress coupled with projectile bowel movement and urination while dancing around on tip-toes trying to free a bodily appendage held captive by a drop forged steel instrument of some sort...

>Snicker!<
