SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- A man who allegedly threatened neighbors with a knife on Thanksgiving was beaten with a large decorative candy cane wielded by a bystander, Sacramento police said.

The incident began in Del Paso Heights when Donald Kercell, 49, became drunk and then got angry, Sgt. Norm Leong said.

Leong said Kercell swung the knife and went after some people, adding that some of those being chased suffered minor injuries.

A bystander picked up a 2-foot-long candy cane decoration, smacked Kercell with it and disarmed him, Leong said.

9. Alas the RKBCC was stricken from the Bill of Rights at the last minute.

Let's hope a zealous DA doesn't go after the helpful bystander.

RKBCC = Right to Keep and Bear Candy Canes

15. I think the UN has classified fruitcake

As a weapon of mass destruction*. That would probably violate the Geneva Convention.












* Or maybe just Christ-mass Destruction :hide:
