real men shave with chainsaws

Holy fark!

meh, saw wasn't moving. never-the-less it was a pretty stupid move

It makes me wonder what happened to professionalism in the police force. You give someone a weapon, even a non-lethal one, you're not supposed to be firing it unless it's really necessary.
These cops, as well as others, have some damn itchy trigger fingers.

discgolfguru: Cops shot the tree?

Nope, Farker clicked the wrong link.
/damn it

Must be related to this guy (pops)

Cutting it close.

They got the word from a couple of saps. FriarReb98: asciibaron: meh, saw wasn't moving. never-the-less it was a pretty stupid move

Ya, the chainsaw wasn't moving before it cut the tip of my cousin's finger off, either.

Man, that chainsaw gets around. It's like Christine. Maybe it's possessed by Paul Bunyan's first wife, the biatchy one who he cheated on and left with the kids, who went on to become the first Sasquatches and save Thanksgiving (learn your folklore). That f**king thing must be stopped before it strikes again, or given to Moby. Moby's the Anti-Chainsaw, they will cancel each other out in the first puff ever that could be described as "manly-wuss."

\argh

I've been working in the woods, running chainsaws for 40+ years, and bucking up wind-thrown trees is about the scariest saw work there is. This guy is lucky, that can all go way wrong in a hurry.

This round of Who's more grizzled? goes to Gough.

Gough: This guy is lucky, that can all go way wrong in a hurry.

Yeah he is. Worst accident I ever witnessed was a fellow crewman cutting a blown down tree. He was making a cut from underneath (with one foot placed on the tree) when the tree bucked and before he could react, the saw climbed eight inches up the back of his leg between the muscle and the bone.

He was in physical therapy for quite a while.

RevBigfoot: It's amazing the stuff that happens and reporters don't notice. Like this one:

I was expecting something more exciting than a fender bender.

Me too, and I think she was just being professional by ignoring it. I vote 'no fail'.

Not wearing eye protection?

Tard city.

My dad's friend got a chainsaw through his chest when he tried to cut down a tree during a storm..

I'm looking at that log, and all I can think of is: that would make for some really nice quarter sawn wood.

TREE SHOT BY POLICE
Serial killer tree? Limbs found by investigators

AP-MIRKWOOD, PA

A tense stand-off between police and a local tree ended in violence earlier today as officers opened fire on the lumbering suspect.

Officials say they found the tree in possession of a collection of limbs. Investigators remain stumped by the strange discovery, but a growing chorus of local activists claim the evidence may have been planted.

A witness who saw the brush with the law said, "Had the cops axed a few questions before shooting it, they'd have realized its bark was worse than its bite. It might have seemed a little nuts but was just pining for its ex."

It appears that the tree had deep roots in the community but may have recently branched out into the criminal underground.

I find it odd that if it were a limb he surely would have undercut it first yet he didn't in this situation.

/Let it go, man.

When asked for a statement the tree said,"Knot on your life."
