Michael Salafia, 30, of 64 Whitewood Drive, allegedly got out of his car with a chainsaw while at a red light and approached another driver, Farmington police said. As Salafia was advancing on the other driver, who was a black male, Salafia started the chainsaw and began yelling racial slurs, reports said.
The other pulled out a gun, which he was carrying legally, police said, to stop Salafia from getting closer. Salafia left but not before accidentally cutting himself with the chainsaw which splattered blood on the other man's car....

Don't bring a chainsaw to a gun fight.
OR
Try to always carry the BIGGER gun.
A shotgun would do....

Salafia doesn’t sound like your typical Redneck name.
Lebanese maybe?

Was this a registered chainsaw? Did he carry it concealed and have a permit? These are the questions a good reporter would look into.

Salafia sounds more likely Muslim than Latino. Ultra orthodox Muslim’s are Salifists.

According to Ancestry.com:
Salafia Name Meaning Southern Italian: from a nickname derived from Arabic; salaf - ‘arrogance’.

Ban all high capacity chainsaw magazines. The commercial availability of something like this is a disgrace, with no purpose other than killing as many trees as quickly as possible:

Glad the putative victim was armed.
Nonetheless, I have mixed feelings about the following:
“While trying to leave the area, Salafia cut himself with the chainsaw and left blood splatter on the victim’s car, police said.”
A. Apparently the chain was actually sharp; most amateur chainsaw wielders don’t have a clue about how to keep their chain sharp.
B. On the other hand, maybe this fool would have been better off with a dull chain, after all.

"Hollowpoint" chain. Also a disgrace.

Don't bring a chainsaw to a gunfight. Ash's sage advice:
"Always bring both."

From the article you linked to:
While trying to leave the area, Salafia cut himself with the chainsaw and left blood splatter on the victim's car, police said.
Salafia has been charged with second-degree threatening, second-degree breach of peace and intimidation.
I sure hope someone had video rolling.
