EDINBURGH, Ind. -- A knife-wielding man was arrested earlier this week in what police called a meat massacre at a south-central Indiana supermarket.

Coffman told police that he is a vegetarian and gets upset when others consume beef, telling the employee that God sent him to ruin the meat and that he was trying to save little girls from food he believes would make them “chubby.”

"He thought if he could save one chubby girl, he's done his job," Lutz said.

Coffman was taken to a hospital for a mental evaluation. He faces charges of criminal recklessness with a deadly weapon, criminal mischief and disorderly conduct.

7. Well, I hope he gets the help he needs. But I can't see much I can learn from this story.

There's no shortage in the word of cranks and crazies. And plenty more than enough of them have some power

9. There is no crazy like god crazy

and throw in a huge dose of sexism and you have a candidate for permanent incarceration in a hospital for the criminally insane.

Unfortunately, he'll just get a slap on the wrist this time. Next time, he'll probably kill one of those "chubby girls" his god tells him should not exist.

11. Maybe he just over reacted to a bumpersticker I once saw.

"NO FAT CHICKS"

My thoughts were to feed my Daughter 5 cheeseburgers per day to make sure she would not meet people who put something like that on their car.

13. I still think the guy caught giving mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to a dead opossum wins.

Even though he's not as dangerous as this guy, he's got my vote.
