A fairly typical story is emerging in New Orleans: two police officers were injured–including one who reported broke his leg–while apprehending a 34-year-old man suspected of cutting off his 70-year-0ld mother’s arm with a chainsaw, according to WVUE Fox 8 in New Orleans. Y’know, fairly typical, “Holy shit, what a world we live in. That’s fucked up.”
The most interesting detail is buried in the story: the newly one-armed woman fled to get help from a relative who lived three miles away. No word on how she arrived at the relative’s house: walked, biked, Uberred. Maybe she took the bus, pulling the cord for the stop with her remaining arm. Did she drive? And if so, we can assume it wasn’t a stick shift.
