I think this COULD have been a coincidence, but bet the poster hangers cracked themsleves up when they saw how great they’d look together. Great work! Courtesy of the fab one Perez.

This is a freak accident indeed. A similar story about someone stumbling while doing dishes has inspired me to be careful filling the silverware basket in the dishwasher. (sharp things go blade down)
Autopsy says man fell, cut artery, bled to death
Posted on Wed, Aug. 21, 2002By Tonya Root
The Sun NewsThe death of a Myrtle Beach man was officially ruled an accident Tuesday after an autopsy showed he bled to death from being cut on a glass coffee table, officials said.
Randolph Davis Jr.’s girlfriend called police at about 8:30 a.m. Monday to report finding him bloody in their residence at 219 Waccamaw Village Drive in Myrtle Beach.
The emergency dispatch call for Davis was for a gunshot wound.
But, after an examination, officials said it appeared Davis fell into a glass coffee table in his house, puncturing an artery in his arm.
Davis’ official cause of death was listed as massive hemorrhaging due to laceration of an artery, Horry County Deputy Coroner Dan Bellamy said.
Horry County police Sgt. Rick Bonney said investigators determined Davis was injured in the house and no foul play was involved.
“It ended up becoming life-threatening and either he didn’t know it or couldn’t get help,” Bonney said. “No one was home and there wasn’t a phone.”
Davis’ girlfriend, who found him, had returned home after being out of town, Bonney said.

From staff reportsAn Horry County State Bank branch was robbed today.
The bank, on U.S. 17 Bypass just south of the backgate of the former Air Force base, was held up around 11:30, according to Horry County police.
The suspect showed a handgun and wore a large white bath towel on his head during the robbery. He fled the scene on foot, remains on the loose and should be considered armed and dangerous, police said.
The road on which this happened is very busy. Wonder what kind of drug dealer takes mopeds? Do they also accept BBQ grills? Photo is artists rendering of situation as it would have happened in Vietnam, if victim were pig farmer and had a friend.

Man robbed of moped with handgun
By Josh Hoke The Sun News
A Myrtle Beach man was robbed of his moped at gunpoint on Saturday night. The man told police that he was riding his moped on U.S. 501 when the suspects passed him in their vehicle and made him pull over near Seaboard Street, according to an online incident report. The victim told police he owed one of the suspects about $200 for drugs. One of the suspects demanded the money, and the other pulled out a black handgun, the report states. The suspects took the moped and fled the scene – one in the car and one on the moped. Police gave the victim a ride home. He refused to press charges in the incident.
I’m continuing to work thru old stories and am proud to present this story about the power ranger kid who saved his family. Heartwarming, truly heartwarming.

Robber startled by pint-sized Power Ranger
By Matt Dees
McClatchy NewspapersDURHAM, N.C. – The robber was holding a gun to 5-year-old Mary Long’s head when a 3-foot-tall Mighty Morphin Power Ranger leapt into the room.
“Get away from my family,” 4-year-old Stevie Long shouted, punctuating his screams with swipes of his plastic sword and hearty “yah, yahs.”
The robber and his accomplice, who was waiting outside the apartment Friday night, fled with credit cards, jewelry, cash and other items that Stevie’s mother, Jennifer Long, dumped from her purse.
“I scared the bad guys away,” Stevie said Tuesday evening at the apartment in north Durham.
Two men had approached Jennifer Long’s boyfriend and his son Friday night as they stood outside the apartments she helps manage, according to a police report. The strangers asked for pot, and then a cigarette, and as the son went to get one, both men pulled guns, police said.
One stayed with the boyfriend as the other forced the son back into the apartment, police said. Inside were Jennifer Long, a cousin, Stevie, Mary and two other children, police said.
They were forced onto the floor. The robber pointed the gun at Mary and a 1-year-old girl named Sierra, said Stevie’s uncle, Bernie Evans, 33, who lives above the Longs.
Enter Stevie.
“During the robbery, a boy snuck into his bedroom, dressed himself in a Power Ranger costume and armed himself with a plastic sword,” police said. “The child then exited his room and approached the armed suspect, in an attempt to protect his family.”
Relatives said the robber abandoned plans to take Stevie’s mother to an ATM when he saw Stevie.
“It tripped him out, and that’s when they moved on,” said Evans, who did not witness the incident. Jennifer Long declined to comment, saying her employers at the apartment complex would not allow it.
Stevie likes to think he cuts an intimidating figure in his red-and-black mask and foam suit that replicates the rippling muscles of the kiddie adventure show heroes. But Evans said the robber was more startled that Stevie was able to retreat to his bedroom and morph.
Though the robbers wore no masks, victims could only give vague descriptions of them. Police have no suspects in this or the other 10 armed robberies reported in Durham in the past six days, said Kammie Michael, a spokeswoman.
Evans said family members are struggling to help their children understand their ordeal. A counselor said Stevie needs to improve his distinction between fantasy and reality, said Heather Evans, Stevie’s aunt.
“He fully believed he morphed,” she said.
Mary grasps her danger better. She stayed home from school Monday and Tuesday.
“My doctor said I get a day off,” she said. “My mommy said I was crying in my sleep because I had bad dreams.”
All sorts of domestic drama and violence. A stolen lawn mower and a stolen converted dump truck that, well, didn’t seem to have an engine.
