I bet a lot of people can relate to this poor guy. The crappy economy really has a lot of people down and out and I bet many people would like to take a sledghammer and destroy a few things to vent.
Via Mercury News:
San Diego police have shot and wounded a man they say appeared distraught over financial problems and threw a sledgehammer at officers.
A man in his 40s was shot in the chest and leg on Sunday at his home in the Encanto area but Capt. Jim Collins says his wounds aren’t life-threatening. His name wasn’t released.
Collins says the man’s wife reported that he’d had trouble sleeping and woke her up Sunday morning to say the couple and their two young children were losing everything.
Collins says the man got a sledgehammer smashed the windows of a tow truck and two other cars in the driveway.
Collins says the man also had several knives. He says arriving officers confronted the man and fired when he threw the hammer and a knife at them.
