Holy crap! It's darned lucky they had so many officers handy!

That dude might have turned his crutches into some sort of martial arts weapon and killed hundreds of people! Hell, they could be some advanced flight system that would have let him ram the TransAmerica building and destroy it!

If that guy'd had both legs, they would have needed twice as many officers, SWAT, and an armored vehicle. I'm thankful the casualty list was so low. Oh, wait... No casualties? Even better!

Thanks, SFPD, for ridding the streets of another deadly terrorist!

/utter disgust.

Your wildly sarcastic comment genuinely elevated the quality of comments we have here on Hacker News. Thank you.

He is black, has super powers even with a single leg. I understand as Jerry Brown was on holiday in Cambodia.
