The accused madman who flew into an ax-wielding rampage at a Lower East Side McDonald’s told The Post on Monday that he’s “not unhinged” — and just did what anyone would do in his situation.

Michael Palacios, a 31-year-old Manhattan messenger, said his ax-capades were all about trying to scare the McDonald’s patrons who punched him during a beef early Friday — as he also shared his philosophy on why he prefers his “tomahawk” to a gun.

“Think about it. If you only think that the thing you can protect yourself with is a gun, we’re all going to go to -–---- jail,” he said. “With a hatchet, I have my options — throw it or just smash a ------- table. With a gun. all you do is shoot.

Even a madman has a certain sense of logic. If to no one else, at least to himself.

No wonder they released him back into the community, he is a philosopher.

I would like to see ‘McDonald’s ax man’ to take on ‘epic beard man’ in a fight over who gets ‘amberlamps’.

Never been to a McDonalds with a security guard, but then again I don’t live in NY.

His weapon looked like a hatchet to me, not an axe.

Thanks for that - it helps restore my faith in human nature!

I got hit in the head with a hammer at that corner like 10 years ago while I was walking to the store. Some random dude.

“So, 10 years ago somebody got hit with a hammer. Today, somebody hit a table with a f–king hatchest. I think things are getting better if you ask me.”

One of these days I’m going to light up the forge and hook up the belt grinder and make myself a Sayoc for just this kind of social situation.

Clever.

[gitmo]

Yep. It’s a hatchet.

I guess the NY Post has never seen an axe.
