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.
Apparently he’s started up the chainsaw. He could have cut off his own head — or, worse, injured himself in a vital organ.
A dull chain will cut flesh just as easily as a sharp one will. I doubt anyone could tell the difference.
