| Korean War vet fights off burglar with frying pan and pitchfork |
| 2011-04-15 |
| The man told Smith to "gimme what you got" before shoving him to the ground and taking his wallet, according to the police report. That didn't stop Smith, who said he "went back after him." He grabbed the nearest weapon, while Sones grabbed for something else to give him. "I grabbed the frying pan and hit him upside the head. I knocked his teeth out ... and he went to the floor," Smith said. "There was a pitchfork about six feet away. ... I stuck him." Hit in the head and stuck in the side, the intruder ran, "bleeding on the way out." |

| #13 ...pitchfork control coming soon to a county near you. Won't be like the old days when you could just waltz into a Home Depot and pick one up. Nope. It's not like politicians were ever fond of them to begin with. Dangerous in the hands of the wrong people, like voters. |

| #12 Many a farmer has killed a mad-dog with a pitchfork. Keep one under your bed. |

| #10 I read that they didn't catch the guy but the K9 found his wallet. Also, he was cooking dinner at the time in the pan he hit the guy with so it was also nice and hot. A guy with pitchfork punctures in his side, knocked out teeth and probably a nice burn on his face shouldn't be too hard to find |

| #9 And a longer handle to balance the weight so it is good as your serve is. The use of a dangerous instrument is third degree assault, might as well make it count |

| #8 Well, the rough rule of thumb for buying kitchenware and cooking tools is that it ought to be heavy enough to kill someone with... |

| #7 And now for a little 'SkilletP*rn'... One nice item would be the L10SK3 as it adds the 'two-fisted' option for your home defence needs. |

| #6 It gets better. I've read elsewhere that when the police showed up, they brought a K-9 unit. They caught the perp, though didn't say how much they caught him. However, no details have yet been released about him. |

| #4 Here in New Jersey it is impossible to get a concealed frying pan permit. I am thinking of moving to Florida and getting a nice 12 inch cast iron. |

| #2 Being stuck with a pitchfork is extremely bad karma. He's looking at tetanus or peritonitis, and will likely show up at a hospital with a high fever about 48 hours after the game. Unless they pump something like a butt load of penicillin through him, he is going to die the bad way. |

| #1 Gran Torino - movie Walt Kowalski: Yeah? I blow a hole in your face and then I go in the house... and I sleep like a baby. You can count on that. We used to stack f***s like you five feet high in Korea... use ya for sandbags. |
