A 29-year-old man who claimed he was attacked and stabbed by three people - skinheads or Hispanic males - confessed Monday night that he stabbed himself because he didn't want to go to work, Edgewater Police said today.

The man, Aaron Siebers, walked into his employer, the Blockbuster Video store at 1921 Sheridan about 6:30 p.m. Monday, and reported the attack. He said the trio was dressed in black.

Siebers, of Denver, had a deep stab wound to the lower leg plus several superficial knife wounds, according to Steve Davis, spokesman for the Edgewater Police Department.

“Man says he stabbed himself because he didn’t want to work.”

Coincidently that was the same answer he gave when queried as to why he voted for Obama.

detectives again questioned him. They confronted him with the evidence from the surveillance cameras and his changing stories about who attacked him

At that point, Siebers confessed and told them he stabbed himself because he didn't want to go to work, said the police spokesman.

Same thing happens here on occasion, when those making statements and comments, have nothing to back up their large mouths or were simply caught up in their own BS.

or just call in sick like everyone else does. sheesh.

Well, on the bright side, he won’t have to go into work anymore. Ever.

Up here in the mountains, it’s been known for a man to accidentally get his leg or arm caught in logging machinery.

One guy I heard about lost his foot. I’ve heard of others losing arms, etc. They get patched up, can’t work in their chosen profession, and obtain SSI checks.

Doesn’t happen too much any more, but has happened as lately as the 1970’s.

ENTITLEMENT Mentality.

Sounds like a scene out of "Liar Liar" where Jim Carry beats himself up to delay the trial.

He just wants to bang on the drum all day.

I know of two people who harmed themselves so they would not have to work. One was an “artist” who set himself on fire so he could draw disability to free him to concentrate on his “art”. Due to his over consumption of alcohol, he didn't make it to the bathtub in time to put himself out, and died. The other just cut off his leg with a chainsaw.
