I’m serious about this. A lot of times I will mention something that a day or two later is cited on FR.

Yesterday I mentioned the death of Leon Trotsky by ice axe and explained what an ice axe was. This was in a thread about rival Dem factions blaming each other.

Today, here is an ice axe story. When was the last time you read about that term? As in never?

Weird.

Yeah, I saw your mention, and it sent me to Trotsky's Wikipedia page to read up on it. I'd heard of ice picks, but not an ice axe. Nasty weapon, quite effective.

Ice axes are a common tool where I am.

Used for ice climbing. I have one.

I also have several sets of crampons for different ice conditions and terrain. Spikes on the crampons from 1/8 inch to 2 inches long.

Not too weird I also read earlier today about Leon Trotsky being killed with an ice ax. Very interesting!

The context of your comment, I believe, was a story about a man dispatching his [now ex, certainly] girlfriend’s father with an ice ax.

That story, and now this new one, indicate that we have an ongoing problem. It is, therefore, obligatory that we implement common sense ice ax control now, before Orange Man and his fascist legislature take power and normalize this horror.

I read this story long before it came on FR.

Putting out that idea into the universe perhaps?

I was going to post this story because the headline originally for local TV there said it was over the election. But when you went to the site they changed it to remove any election connection - knowing it was a crazed leftists and Dems would take the ‘blame.’

Obviously, mentally disturbed leftist (like the one who murdered his family then suicided) and we are just getting started.

If the Dem mob breaks into the Capitol, they won’t be staying within the ropes and taking selfies for a lark. They’ll be in D.C. to destroy.

There’s a series called, “Evil” (about a sceptic psychiatrist and a priest fighting against evil and demonic forces), and one of the characters murders someone with an ice axe.

So... Not so uncommon. Mountain climbers know what they’re for.

Yikes...and I just happen to be reading a spy thriller (Shadow of Doubt by Brad Thor) in which the opening scene has someone murdered with an Ice Axe.

What are the odds?
