EmJayZA Posted March 6, 2018 Posted March 6, 2018 This story is true... a young triathlete attacked by some gents who robbed him and then tried to cut his leg off. The chainsaw was 2 blunt to get through so they did the same to the other leg. He is in hospital with a chance that they may have to amputate his 1 leg.SA is a f...ed up place !!! Any idea who the athlete is? This is all kinds of messed up. Sounds like a hate crime more than anything else. If they wanted to kill the guy, they wouldn't do it by cutting off his legs. This was done to inflict pain. No words.
gogo@ Posted March 6, 2018 Posted March 6, 2018 Getting to the point where all rational response be damned.
HDW Posted March 6, 2018 Posted March 6, 2018 Wtf, is this true? Can a chainsaw be to blunt to cut through a leg? I'll wait to see some legitimate info before believing this.
Imploder Posted March 6, 2018 Posted March 6, 2018 Off topic, but if you google "Chainsaw attack", it seems more prevalent than one would think.Weird.
Headshot Posted March 6, 2018 Posted March 6, 2018 I sincerely hope that this is not true.... makes me want to emigrate to another planet.
EmJayZA Posted March 6, 2018 Posted March 6, 2018 Wtf, is this true? Can a chainsaw be to blunt to cut through a leg? I'll wait to see some legitimate info before believing this. If it is true, I doubt the sharpness has anything to do with being able to cut through bone... I am battling to believe it myself.
HDW Posted March 6, 2018 Posted March 6, 2018 If it is true, I doubt the sharpness has anything to do with being able to cut through bone... I am battling to believe it myself. Yeah look, "living" bone is quite soft compared to dead old bones. So it should probably still have some margin of sharpness. How weird is it to be discussing this particular topic.
quintonb Posted March 6, 2018 Posted March 6, 2018 I really hope this isn't true.That section of road is incredibly dangerous when it comes to motor vehicles and the township so close to the road.Any local should know not to use that section of road. Flippen hope this is not what our roads have come to.If its true, I hope he is going to be ok..sh*t man
Long Wheel Base Posted March 6, 2018 Posted March 6, 2018 My word that is weird. A chainsaw isn't exactly light, Running away with it won't be easy.
Odinson Posted March 6, 2018 Posted March 6, 2018 Net mooi NOTHING on the interwebs at the moment on this story. (Mod edit)
Paulst12 Posted March 6, 2018 Posted March 6, 2018 Relax man, it's not true.Its 100% true... he is being transferred to Westville hospital right now...
Odinson Posted March 6, 2018 Posted March 6, 2018 I think everyone should just calm down and have a polony sandwich until some concrete details emerge.
quintonb Posted March 6, 2018 Posted March 6, 2018 Spoke to a mate of mine who is in comms with ambulance services locally, he hasn't heard anything.Lets hope it stays that way, holding thumbs.
