Grandmothers attacked with Hammer

WILKES-BARRE, Pa. - A 41-year-old man stormed a beauty salon and bludgeoned four grandmothers with a hammer, fracturing one’s skull, before making off with less than $90, police said.

Thomas Leyshon III, of Mountain Top, was arrested after a daylong manhunt Friday.

The women, aged 56 to 76, did not resist but were beaten anyway, witnesses said. At least one required surgery.

1. People like that should just be shut in a room for the rest of their life....
...and thrown scraps like the animals they are. What the hell?!

2. Obviously we need more hammer-control laws.

9. ROTFL (in a sad way)
Just another example of how four victims armed with guns could've made mincemeat out of one psycho bent on harming people.

10. Yes of course but some DUers don't want people to be able to defend themselves.
Sit back and watch.

8. This was one
of those crimes that IMO is more about terrorizing people than robbing them. A perp like that ought to get the max sentence allowed, with an added enhancement for being so unnecessarily violent.

11. Everyone should start carrying firearms and support the Second Amendment.
Mad Max and Frontier Justice are the future.
