Disarming Mad Men with Weapons


A mentally deranged man stormed into a Takoradi hospital ER brandishing a machete. People ran helter-skelter. After many minutes, a brave youth faced down the aggressor with a cudgel. So, mentally deranged persons may be violent. Now wait for this. The police arrived at the hospital ten minutes late and “appealed to the public to always join forces to apprehend mentally deranged persons who might confront them in their vicinities with dangerous weapons before harm is caused.”

  1. This would have been funny if it wasn't for the fact that this man was banishing a matchete and as for the young man stopping him with a cudgel...hmmmm
    How do you apprehend a 'mad' man with a matchete?

  2. For what it's worth it was an "appeal" and he did say to "join forces"... [shrug]

  5. "Join which forces" do we look like we've mastered the martial arts?

    Police basically advocating mob action. Hope they have the brains to tell people where mob action is needed and where it is not needed. Ridiculous.

    The absurdity of the statement attributed to the police is that the lunatic may be wielding a gun. It would be better to ask people to get away as quickly as possible from the scene without making it too obvious they are running away or the lunatic might become hotheaded. Then they can call the police asap.

    Good for trying to help the police out of a tight spot. You have a kind heart. But even if 10 people joined forces against 1 loco with a SMG, he would 'spray' them into oblivion.

    It must be even more than just the martial arts. It must include sorcery too. We must master both.
