#1 Portland Oregon. Well that was hard. Kind of reminds me of the guy in Philly(?) who managed to impale himself on a fence and tear his head off

#2 And the Albuquerque Journal is there!

(Sorry, this is an in-joke. Back in '90 or '91, a kid in New York tried to scale a cast-iron fence, slipped, and managed to impale himself in the head. The spike entered the fleshy part underneath his jaw, and came out his mouth. The Albuquerque Journal ran a huge-ass picture of the kid hanging from the fence with the spike sticking up out of his mouth. From that time on, we always think of the Journal whenever there are gross pictures in the newspaper, especially fence impalements. The Journal doesn't seem to have a picture of this one, though.)

#3 Thanks for the infor Angie. Why do they call this guy a teen though, he's 18. I thought you became classified as a adult at 18? Though jumping a fence handcuffed seems to indicate his mental capacity is in the early teens.

#4 Just as an aside, there is a famous medical case of a mining engineer whose charges didn't go off, and was so annoyed that he decided to just put new charges on top of the old ones. So first he had to tamp the old ones down with a tamping rod. Shortly after the explosion and alarm bells, the engineer exited the mine, covered in dust and now incredibly mad over his own stupidity. Along with the tamping rod, which had entered under his chin and protruded from the top of his skull. After considerable fainting from the other miners, they whisked him to hospital, where the rod was removed, and he survived. After his recovery with only small disability, mostly a mangled tongue, he was pursued for some 20 years by agents of the Smithsonian Institution, hopeful that he would, pretty please, donate his skull to them with his demise? He finally relented, and on his death of old age, his skull, with new tamping rod stuck through as demonstration, was given an honorable exhibition in the medical section of the Smithsonian, where it remains to this day.

#5 i gues they classify him as a teen because he is still a teenager. They didn't say what he would be tried as

#8 Just as good as the guy who fled from the cops, jumped a fence, and landed in a parking lot. Twenty foot drop. At an L.A. Sherrif's substation. During roll-call...
