Going Out With A Bang, Or A Buzzsaw
So one guy holds a pipe bomb in his mouth as lights the fuse… Apparently his girlfriend, who was watching, claims he was “a risk taker”. Meanwhile, this other guy walks into the butcher section of a supermarket and shoves his head into the meat grinder. Both guys successfully removed themselves from the gene pool.
Kevin Barnes stuffed a four-inch length of copper piping with gunpowder from a firework and appeared to relish showing it to visitors to his flat in Daventry, Northamptonshire. He called it his birthday candle and told people he was going to set it off in the park just to see what happened, the hearing in Northampton was told. But instead the warehouseman took the makeshift device and sat on the sofa, sucking it with a smirk on his face while flicking a lighter as his petrified flatmates and girlfriend looked on.
A 31-year-old man sawed his head off in full view of staff and customers at a supermarket … Emmanuel Gumbi walked into the butchery section of Shoprite branch, switched on an electric meat saw, positioned his neck near the blade and sawed off his head.
“He just walked in, went to the band saw machine and switched it on,” Naicker told Reuters. “Apparently he knew what he was doing. He put his neck to the blade and it cut about half way through before he fell to the floor.”
The butchery was covered in Gumbi’s blood, which splattered as far as 3m. Despite the trauma, staff had the butchery windows covered within minutes … Gumbi had attempted to open a charge of intimidation at a local police station. “He apparently said that a gang of men was after him but he was not being coherent so police assumed that he was drunk. They offered to take him home but he said he wanted to go off somewhere else.” Savides said Gumbi had earlier tried to get into the butchery section at another supermarket but that butchery staff had chased him away.
Looks like there could be some tasty mystery meat trace treats on next week’s sliced ham!
