#1 Not the kind of publicity the Estwing tool company needs I'm afraid.

#2 Obviously another tea-party type fanatic, 2nd amendment right to bear hatchets flake.
A good dose of Obamacare psychiatry could have stopped this, as would a waiting period for the purchase of edged weapons of mass destruction, along with a 5 round magazine limit. (And no bayonets, ever. Military hardware.)
(I wish I was kidding...)

#3 Banged nails for a living when I was young and Estwing hammers and hatchets were the cat's pajamas. Still got 3 that are 40 years old, love 'em.

So Beso I hope this doesn't resonate.

#5 Washington is running around in a dither and has had great difficulty defining "Islamic terrorism or terrorists" since MoBama has been in the WH. As long as there is such difficulty, little will ever be done to address the terrorism problem.

Maybe a Pres in the WH who picks up his .44 magnum, calmly goes out on the WH front lawn and dispatches an Islamic fence jumper and then says: "Take that you SOB wherever the hell you came from" would ease the uneasiness Americans have been feeling for 6-1/2 years.

#10 Can't they categorize this as workplace violence?

#11 Using a hand-tool such as an axe demonstrates a bit of...resolve, if that is the right word. Obviously the guy wasn't out splitting cord and flipped.

Couple this story with that video about two men arguing with cop in background.

Is there video of the full incident? I am curious about the involvement of the photographer.

#12 #7 Teddy Roosevelt is long gone, JC.

It is just my wishful thinking I suppose. However, I did come across a story recently that Ronald Reagan was known to pack a firearm when he was President.

#15 The elder Bush also, very quietly, with the silenced .22 from James Bakers briefcase.

With proper form of course.

#17 The Commish says it's terror:

Police say New York hatchet attack by Islamic convert was terrorist attack

The hatchet-wielding man who wounded two New York City police officers, critically injuring one, was a self-radicalized convert to Islam who is believed to have acted alone in what police on Friday called a terrorist attack.

The suspect, Zale Thompson, who was shot dead by two other officers on Thursday afternoon on a Queens street, had made anti-Western postings on social media and visited websites associated with several radical Islamic groups, police told a news conference. "This was a terrorist attack," Commissioner William Bratton said.

#18 Not to worry - Maypr de Blasio will visit a mosque or hold a breakfast with the City's "prominent Muslims" and present the happy face of Islam..
