DATELINE - Salt Lake City, Utah... Here is a tale about a man named "Max" and "Max" went ballistic and "threatened a large number of people with a drill bit." Guy is quoted as saying, "I'm gonna drill you full of holes!" Alrighty then. Needless to say, the Salt Lake Police Department gets called to a scene of workaday mayhem and then the PD proceeds to clear the area around where the guy was acting all belligerent like and keep the local looky-lou's at some distance so as NOT to shoot innocent civilians if a shooting is deemed necessary. Anyway, our man "Max" begins a "charge at police" and rather than simply shoot the guy dead on the spot, well, an angel of infinite mercy hovers over the "alleged crime scene" and intercedes with the local PD and local PD decides just to taser the guy and does. Taser the guy. Needless to say "Max" is jolted into an electrified coma and Salt Lake PD is able to "restrain the guy" and upon cuffing our guy "Max", the PD loads him into a squad car and heads for the University of Utah Medical Center. UofUMedCen is where ALL the policing agencies in/on/around Salt Lake County take their captives after captives are subdued and rendered mostly harmless. A taser, handcuffs, and zip ties applied to any boisterous evil doer will generally do the trick. As for the hovering angel, well, this is Utah and it's fairly common for "divine intervention" to occur in similar situations or rather that's what the locals would have the uninitiated think. That logic also plays rather nicely into the PR spin applied by Salt Lake PD after they've gunned down some poor bastard in cold blood and in full public view. The general public tends to want some answers to questions such as "why did you have to kill this man." Or woman as the case may warrant. So it goes in the continuing saga of "behind the Zion curtain." Guy was intending to do harm with a drill bit. Hmmm...an amateurish intent to do bodily harm and that's the 'ridiculous' aspect to all of this. Now for Sunday machine art without 'angels', drill bits, and/or whatever.

someday I should write about my encounters with Mitt Romney. the tales are absolutely true and the tales are from the time Salt Lake City hosted the Winter Olympic Games 2002. I lived in downtown Salt Lake City and I got to see old Mittens quite often. I also got to know a number of the women that worked for good old Mittens on the Salt Lake Olympic organizing thingy. Mittens is NOT the knight in shining Mormon armor that Mittens would have the world perceive. 😏
