Woman uses axe to eject son from car

[CMF Newsman]

BERLIN (Reuters) - A Danish woman whose teenage son locked himself into her car and refused to get out borrowed a policeman's axe and smashed open a window to make the boy change his mind, police said on Monday.

A spokesman for the police in Flensburg near the Danish border said the 15-year-old locked the doors after his mother left the car to go shopping and refused to come out.

"She called police asking for help," the spokesman said, but the youth still refused to budge when an officer arrived.

"So she borrowed his axe and smashed open a window. It was a rather unusual way to resolve the matter."

Yet again proving that there are very few situations that cannot be resolved by the proper application of force.

By "force" don't you mean high-explosives?

Probably just wishful thinking on my part...

Cosmetic damage to policeman's axe - $10
Passenger window - $150
Never having to take that kind of crap from your teenager ever again because they now know just how wacked out you can get - Priceless!

When I read "axe" I was thinking of that stinky body spray

For those of you who may ever have to "bust out" an auto window - remember to go for the side windows. The front and back glass are safety glass and hard as all get out to break. The side glass just shatters.

And if your car has some of those tiny side windows beside the regular side windows.......I've heard those are actually more expensive to replace than then regular ones..

They are Jay.... but sometimes breaking them provides much needed stress relief to frustrated boyfriends.

I always say: use a little finesse, and if that doesn't work get a BIG finesse.

As a former employee of a glass shop, only in Europe are back glasses laminated as are windshields. In the states they are tempered glass like the door glasses and will blow right up with the proper application of force. They are both considered safety glass, but two different types.

I stand corrected. Thanks.

Yah, I believe an axe would qualify as a "proper application of force"


Hmmm, I'd think a boyfriend would get more stress relief from busting out a bigger window

[gridbug]

I think it was most likely an excellent investment in child control - er - care.

I can't believe you ALL missed the best line.

"So she borrowed his axe and smashed open a window. It was a rather unusual way to resolve the matter"

how much crime would be stopped here in our fine city if instead of a mace can the police carried an AXE

Nah, he just needed a little stress relief.


I shoulda made his deadbeat ass pay for the window though.

Her local Family & Children's Services agency are likely to come and remove the child from a "potentially abusive and publically violent environment", just you wait and see.

And the teen will probably sue the fireman, with help from the local ACLU office.

God, I missed you Vox.

We should have a three hour show on Talk Radio, yeah?



No, I mean seriously.

[Gary]

I'd tune in for that.

Darn youngins.........they need to be scared straight is what I think...
