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. According to an arrest report, Lackie lost his temper around 9 p.m. Wednesday and threw a 3-foot-tall Christmas tree at his father. The tree missed, but Lackie then tried to use the steel base from the tree to strike his father.

“How many more Mister Speaker?! How many more!?” We need a thirty day waiting period for “Holiday” trees. Sure, they won’t arrive until January 2nd but it will save lives. Do it for.................the CHILDREN!

Hard to believe people today. I wish my father was still alive. I couldn’t imagine doing something like that....I would have just walked away. Besides, I wouldn’t be around to tell anyone about it. Tough ole man.

A 3 foot Christmas tree? Must be a sawed-off type.

Yeah, I was thinking that a Festivus pole would be a much more deadly weapon.

Some politically correct liberal somewhere is irritated that a Christmas tree was used in this attack. The perp should have used a “Holiday tree” instead.

Yeah, I was thinking that a Festivus pole would be a much more deadly weapon. Especially during the Airing of Grievances.

Evil Dead movies. If you haven’t seen them, high thee to Netflix or Blockbuster/Hollywood/etc. and GET THEM!!
Strong PG-13 — lots of cussing and a little bit of strong sex. NSFK IMHO. But really great. Funny and insane.
