Man slices arms with saws at Home Depot

http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Man-slices-arms-with-saws-at-LA-area-Home-Depot-4425491.php

Hey, at least it didn't cost him an arm and a leg!

A man deliberately cut himself with saws in the aisles of a Home Depot store in suburban Los Angeles on Wednesday, creating a gruesome scene in front of several customers that left him severely injured, police said.

The man was in the store's tool section and went unnoticed until he began grabbing several small saws, including one meant to cut sheet rock, and started using them on his arms.

"He cut both arms with hand saws down to the bone," said West Covina police Cpl. Rudy Lopez....

"The officers had already found the man down, face down, blood all over the store, multiple aisles, and the whole store is in chaos," the paramedic, Art Hurtado, told KNBC-TV.


Cleanup on Aisle 4!

His arms probably did something to offend him.

God approves. In fact, God commanded it.
