Sorry bud, but that IS a hatchet, and most definitely not an axe. Have you ever seen/held an axe or a hatchet?

and a female bystander was hit by an errant round.Sounds like she has a lawsuit to file, but the city will probably settle out of court for medical expenses incurred only.

NYPD can't even *stop and frisk*....how do you think the NYPD cops feel about Bloomberg and the ACLU now?
I think we can expect many more of these lonewolf attacks in our future. Carry On!!!

Is it common place for some guy to ask 4 cops to pose for a picture like that? My first thought was, wait a minute, was HE distracting them for the terrorist? Or am I just getting paranoid?

from the pic I can see why Slump Tester thought it was more of an axe. It looks a bit longer, especially since it looks like he has a two-handed grip on it, when that’s probably not the case.
But axe or hatchet... In the larger picture it doesn’t really matter. Either way it’s a fearsome weapon. In the hands of someone who knows how to use it... Very difficult to defend.

This is what happens when you bring a hatchet to a gun fight.

I'm not sure who is more dangerous, the cops or the axe man. You really can't tell the difference between the two can you.

Something worth shooting once, is certainly worth shooting again...
Then...
Reload...
BTW, was there any testimony given to the words, if any, spoken by the Axe-man???
Something along the lines of “Alluha Akbar”, or something like it???
According to the president, that would make it easier to classify this a workplace violence, a “senseless act” and “tragic”...But no where near terrorism conducted by Islamic radicalized muslims...Oh noooooooo, can’t have that...
