I want to get a fence like that but Mrs. BenLurkin is afraid we might get sued by the impalee.

Thanks so much. Hopefully after a week or two of nightmares this mental image will finally dissipate.

Hadn't heard this on local news yet.. LOL KCMO is full of weird people...

Uh oh... the missus will never have sex again.

A resident who witnessed the incident said the woman had slipped 6 to 8 inches down on the fence. Gail Stark, the victim's mother, said paramedics had to remove part of the fence to free the impaled woman. <<<

Byers told authorities she went to her neighbor's house to return some garage sale items. But later in the day, the neighbor, who lives in the 1200 block of Northeast 81st Street, reported that her home had been robbed. Police are looking into the incident.

Do you think she will end up in the pokey?

Isn't this the third freakin' time this month that dumb criminals (or possible criminals) have impaled themselves? I'm sure I've read about three separate incidents here at FR : This KC one, one in another major US city, and then one that I'm sure was outside the US, but in which country, I can't recall (UK, Canada?????) Anyone have links to the other two articles?

She would really been in trouble had it been an electric fence.

This just proves the old saying, "Good neighbors make good fences".

[coloradan]

Messy reporting: if the home was "robbed" it means there was a physical confrontation between robber and occupant, in which case the victim is also a witness. If it were merely burgled, then there would be no witness.

The headline said, "weird news in pictures"...forgive me but I clicked on here to see the horrid image! My bad, shame on me...guess I deserved not to see it...

The Fence

[CommandoFrank]

I understand that when they found her she was just 'hanging around.'

[thesummerwind]

She said she was going back to the house to return some garage sale items. Yeh, sure!

This is a littleworse than the episode of "Leave It To Beaver" when Beaver got his head stuck between the bars!

[Entropy Squared]

I wonder if that was a frozen wrought iron fence.

[CTGOPPER]

I passed by this post several times before I got the nerve to open it. I kept thinking there might be a photo of the impalee while on the fence. Whew!
