a little lark and the machete-wielding lunatic.....

[alittlelark]

I posted yesterday about the (blood-covered) machete - wielding lunatic in my neighborhood.

Now I find out one of the people he 'machete'ed' was an elderly woman I have known for 13 or so years. She's nice enough if you ignore her racism and bushbotness... honestly, she is. Her husband recently died. Her son (the only sex-offender in the database w/in 1/4 mile of me) followed the guy w/ a pellet gun after his mother was attacked.

WITH the blood covered machete he walked up to a construction site and inquired about employment.

I am living in LA LA land.... I'm still not sure this is all real.... the guy was in my driveway....

1. Well, at least the construction co can expect him to bring his own tools.

2. I never thought about it in that way....

He would certainly be good at clearing away overgrown bamboo - just stick some cut-out pics of human heads here and there.}(

3. one of the people he 'machete'ed'???

how many people did he machete????

[alittlelark]

5. At least 2

He was waaay whacked out on something (must have been). When he was in our driveway Thor (our Bl. Lab. - Boxer X) went ballistic w/ the barking - he is generally a sedate dog.

Gotta tell ya - this was sooo waaaay weird that I am at a loss for words.

4. Yikes!

life was a little edgy from time to time when I lived in East Palo Alto (including one murder across the street) but this far tops anything I experienced in the four years I lived in EPA.

It is freaky when it happens so close. I am so glad that you didn't run across this guy while he was rampaging. Glad you are okay - even if very shaken.

6. Only a little shaken - mostly freaked out.

How often does one run across a lunatic w/ a bloody machete?


But then how often does a country allow an entire city to be decimated when it could have prevented ALMOST all of the devestation w/ a phone call or two?

I feel like LA LA land is reality.
