Only outlaws will have hammers.
CLACKAMAS -- Police are crediting decisive action by a Happy Valley man for stopping a smiling, hammer-wielding man's unprovoked attack on a Wal-Mart shopper Monday.
Detective Jim Strovink, Clackamas County Sheriff's Office spokesman, said a man armed with a hammer approached Harry Anderson, 59, of Milwaukie in the Wal-Mart parking lot, 10000 S.E. 82nd Ave., shortly after he left the store around 5:35 p.m. As Anderson approached his vehicle, he was hit on the back of the head.
The man then moved to face Anderson and hit him again, on the forehead. Anderson was able to block the next blow and pushed his attacker -- who was smiling -- away.
Portland's weird little "mayor", Sam Adams, yaps on and on about "gun crime", but it's pretty clear that decisive action needs to be taken to ban hammers, as well. Sam probably won't go that far - but he'd love to ban Wal-Mart.
