Guy has his am almost cut off

I cant believe that someone would try and cut off another persons arm from the shoulder during a row.
Maybe its a cultural thing...but im finding this very disturbing.

Must have been a one armed bandit!

brummytom · 22-04-2011 10:01PM

He didn't manage to get it off completely though?

Did the other bloke give him a hand. I'm sure they just needed a bit more elbow grease.

I feel so dirty

KnifeWRENCH · 22-04-2011 10:01PM

Heard this on the news earlier. I'm pretty much desensitised to reports of violence at this stage but this made me shudder a bit. Poor guy.

Cypher_sounds · 22-04-2011 10:05PM

What was he doing armed with a machete? Crazy bastard.

on his way to his 'how to correctly use a machete class' maybe?

he clearly didn't make it....:eek:

turnfan · 22-04-2011 10:43PM

He tried to walk to the hospital??
Couldn't flag down a taxi I guess...

Dangerous Man · 22-04-2011 10:46PM

Is it me or are things just getting worse and worse?

Lando Griffin · 22-04-2011 11:06PM

It will be the long arm of the law that will deal with this case from now on.
Very alarming news, and hope someone will be awristed.

I'd say they were aiming for the neck and mixed up horizontal and vertical (as you do)

...not cultural...its instinctive to raise the arm in defence, so when somebody is swinging a cleaver/machete, the inevitable happens. That young fella down smithfield a few weeks back nearly had his arm off for much the same reason.

Cultural thing

Doublin · 22-04-2011 11:24PM

Reminds of this one from a couple of years ago:

bullpost · 22-04-2011 11:27PM

Maybe its cultural within the armish community?

The report happened to mention that a couple of Romanian lads were held. I was wondering if cutting off a lads entire arms or other apendages was some sort of shame punishment certain cultures like to excercise (saudis).

BTW.the lad in question is still critical...so our prayers are with him!!

for some reason I could reconcile a lad being shot quicker than some lads trying to cut off anothers fellas arm

Pity Fergus wasn't around to stop it.

Its more than likely they were going for the head and he shifted to one side.

Saudi cut off the hands.

Iwannahurl · 22-04-2011 11:42PM

This gruesome incident merited less than a minute on the RTE1 9 o'clock news. Sign of the times, I suppose.

I remember being told that after the 2002 World Cup the Saudi keeper had his hands cut off because he let in 8 against Germany. Surely not true? BTW that fella in the link posted earlier, punching your man in the face with the stump of his arm, is a total legend!

Its this one I always remember...

A woman who ripped off her ex-boyfriend's testicle with her bare hands has been sent to prison.
Amanda Monti, 24, flew into a rage when Geoffrey Jones, 37, rejected her advances at the end of a house party, Liverpool Crown Court heard.

People who go around carrying knives, machetes or swords should be locked up even if they do not use them. Its not just in Dublin either.
