*TM Publicola
The opening item has to go to the story that gave this post its title: 57 year old West Seattle man was arrested for threatening a woman with two, yes two, chainsaws in relation to a property dispute. Thankfully, no one was harmed during the incident. [Publicola]
Confidential to the Shoreline teen who faked a burglary report with the police in order to cover up the fact that he pawned his aunt's possessions: Dude. Really? WTF do you need the money that badly for? What did you pawn that you felt it was necessary to call the cops? For god's sake, what was going through your mind? Next time just borrow the money or something. Better yet, earn it. [Seattle PI]
In other over-reactive news, after learning that the Mayans predicted the end of the world in 2012, a Seward Park woman took the threat of impending doom seriously enough to stab her mom in order to spare her the agony of the endtimes. Those who remember the Y2K panic from 12 years ago know we can expect a lot more of this kind of thing in the year ahead. [Seattle PI]
A man who allegedly posed as a police officer to attack a prostitute and rape three women has plead guilty to 15 related counts. [Seattle PI]
Seattle Police Department Chief John Dias crosses his arms, sticks out his bottom lip and begrudgingly says, "fine! We'll play by your rules...for now." Then he skulks off to his room. [Seattle Times]
In non-over-reactionary-good-in-every-way-news, SEEDArts, a local non-profit organization, is going to take over and re-open the Columbia City Cinema! [KOMO]
