Chainsaw used in Dunedin attack (New Zealand, News, Report, Incident)

A man was allegedly attacked with a running chainsaw while sitting on a lawn of a Dunedin house yesterday afternoon.

The offender allegedly ran from the house in the suburb of Caversham with the chainsaw and slashed twice at the victim's head and back following an ongoing dispute, Senior Sergeant Steve Aitken said.

The engine was running but the chain was locked, but the chainsaw teeth still caused cuts up to 7cm long to the victim's back, Mr Aitken said.

The victim drove himself to Dunedin Hospital and was treated for minor injuries.

The armed offenders squad arrested the man and the chainsaw was recovered.

"Had the chain [been running]... there's a pretty fair chance the guy would've been in two bits," Mr Aitken said.

A 33-year-old Dunedin man will appear in the Dunedin District Court today, facing a charge of assault with a weapon. - NZPA. Source: NZ Herald

Evil or Satan's Face at 9/11 New York, captured during live coverage

Origins: The images above come from, respectively, CNN's television coverage and a photo snapped by freelance photographer Mark D. Phillips (who subsequently sold his picture to Associated Press) as New York's World Trade Center towers burned after the terrorist attack on 11 September 2001. Neither image was manipulated. Finding demonic images in photographs and other visual representations — especially those depicting scenes of death and disaster — is an age-old human behavior employed to ascribe catastrophes to evil forces beyond our control, or (as in the following example) to fix blame on a target of choice (rather than the real perpetrators):

[Collected on the Internet, 2001] Don't these photos of Satan at the world Trade Center catastrophe tell us that the current seat of Satan's power is the World Trade Center? Don't these photos depict Satan being awakend from his hiding place in the World Trade Center? For it is the international bankers who operate from Fed, the CFR and the World Trade Center who create first, second and third world debt. Usury according to the Bible is Satan's method for enslaving the world under his priesthood, the accountants and bankers of the world (IMF, World Bank Group, WTO).

All of this will usher in 666 which is an economic mark of commerce according to the Book of Revelation (Ch 13,17). This mark will also be a religious affiliation of worship which will damn the soul eternally of all who partake we are told.

And then there are those who take the additional step of deliberately creating such images:

(Source: NZ Herald)9:38AM Saturday Dec 20, 2008, Auckland, New Zealand:

A man believes he is lucky to be alive after a shark attack at a popular beach near Auckland.

Keen fisherman Ken Lindberg says he was checking his net at Maraetai, when he felt something clamp around his leg.

He waded back into shallow water to take a look and found a big gash in his leg.

";Doctors and nurses held my leg right up to stop the bleeding. On the outside of the left leg there are eight to ten stitches in that gash. Underneath the Achilles tendon is severed and I';ve got about four stitches in that.";

Mr Lindberg says he has not been out to set his net since he was bitten.
