Man Tries to Saw Own Arms off in L.A. Home Depot
 |
from Dennis Romero at the LA Weekly:
He did such an effective job with the off-the-shelf coping saw he grabbed that he hit bone more than once…Luckly an off-duty paramedic was nearby and cops were quick on the scene:
Working in a pool of blood the paramedic and officers went MacGyver and improvised well, making a tourniquet out of twine and and rags from the store’s shelves, Lopez said.
It might have saved the unidentified man’s life.
Saved his life? You fools! His family are still caught in a deathtrap in some undisclosed location because he failed to cut his limbs off in time!
Or…err…I’ve watched way to many movies. Actually, I suspect the guy in question has.
