PARRISH — A 37-year-old man who lives with his parents was arrested on a felony assault charge after he used a Christmas tree as a weapon in an attempted attack on his father, according to a sheriff’s report. Manatee deputies arrested Thomas Edward Lackie of the 3300 block of 92nd Avenue East in Parrish last week after hearing a description of the altercation from his parents.

I got a phone call from my son once that his brothers were throwing cheese at him. Maybe I should have considered it a weapon.

There should be a law against Christmas trees. Maybe the government should regulate this and require folks to get permits.

These things can be dangerous.
