I think you could taze some naked weirdo holding glass. Or just beat him with a club.

Anyone who was outdoors nekkid in Mankato, MN in late December is either severely psychotic or grossly intoxicated.

I’ll choose grossly intoxicated. Perhaps a touch of the former as well.

They shot an unarmed man.A piece of glass is a weapon.
You can kill someone with a broken piece of glass.

Good thing it wasn’t an apartment dweller that shot the perp.
My brother was shocked when he moved to The Twin Cities and read
about a homeowner in trouble for defending his family when a burglar
broke into the family home in the early morning hours.
Back home in Oklahoma, the homeowner would get cricized for just
wounding the puke.

The officers who responded late Sunday tried to subdue the man and were injured. They shot and killed the man at the scene. At some point, enough is enough.

I don't blame them. Clearly they could see the guy's nuts.
Stolen joke.

"I think you could taze some naked weirdo holding glass. Or just beat him with a club."Or better yet... why not just get him a cup of coffee and a smoke... and see if he'd like to sit down and mellow out a bit.

They apparently tried to disarm him and he attempted to slash them.
He was begging to get shot and he got shot.

Old lady lost in the city
In the middle of a cold cold night
It was fourteen below and the wind start to blow
There wasn’t a Boy Scout in sight
Pull down the shades cause he’s comin’
Turn out the lights cause he’s here
Runnin’ hard down the street
Through the snow and the sleet
On the coldest night of the year
Beware, beware, beware of the Naked Man
