This one made a lot of noise, and Uncle beat me to it and it was submitted by both Bob and chiefjaybob.
Still its a good one, so I’m gonna roll with it.
A Woodridge man is accused of killing his father over the weekend, repeatedly beating him with a weed trimmer while he slept on a futon in their home, police said.
When I first read the headline I wondered “HOW?”, given that even gas-powered string-trimmers aren’t capable of making deep wounds. Still if you use it as a club it can be a VERY lethal weapon. This goes double if your target is sleeping.

In a world where guns don’t exist horrible violence still will.
