In St. Charles, Illinois, a man wielding a chainsaw inside a senior living community was shot and killed by police. The man had been attempting to cut down a tree on the facility’s property at about 8:45 a.m. on Sunday. At one point, the man, shirtless, walked into the lobby of the building and began confronting residents with the chainsaw. Officers arrived and tried to deescalate the situation, but the man “continued his attempts to use the chainsaw against residents of the building,” as well as against responding officers. Officers used a taser on the man, but his attack continued, so they shot him. Officers and residents of the assisted-living facility were treated at the scene for minor injuries, police said.
* The old folks then grabbed the chainsaw so they could cut the tough meat in the dining hall.
* Someone shouted “Leatherface!” and all the residents looked at each other going, “Where? Where?”
* Someone else was shouting “Go back to Texas!”
* The cops should have cranked that taser up to 11.
* At least now there’s something for the residents to talk about besides their medications.
