Seeing as how the other day <a href=http://www.smh.com.au/news/world/baby-used-as-weapon-in-dispute/2006/10/10/1160246102229.html>a baby was used as a weapon</a> about two blocks away from the tavern I frequent, I was quite shocked to hear of this. A few years ago, we were going back from the arcade and noticed that a gigantic police barricade formed about half a mile back, and police officers were just flying in the opposite direction. It turns out that there was a man with a bomb collar around his neck, which was soon detonated once police arrived on the scene.
What are some completely absurd and insane stories from your city?
