Never bring a knife to a chair/milk-crate fight

So this arsehole went batshit crazy in Sydney today. News reports say he murdered a lady in his apartment with a large knife, then ran out onto the street trying to stab random people in the CBD. Reports are that a lady stabbed in the street is stable, and others suffered minor injuries.

This is the bad-ass chief you see from the video above, wielding his Assault Chair, ready to take down the threat. He, his chair, and a well-deployed milk crate have quickly received an appropriate level of support from good, crate-fearing Australians.

Toward the end of the footage, you see the guy being pinned by folks using a milk crate.

I posted this because I thought Imgur would dig that old fella and his righteous stand with that chair, but also because there's something quintessentially Australian about quickly joking about what is a tragic situation. And of course to point out to my friends across the pond, sometimes you don't need guns. You just need brave blokes with chairs and milkcrates.

And the odd crowbar & fireman's axe doesn't hurt either.

Fuck the bad guy. All praise The Chairman.

edit: some folks seem personally offended that the maniac's motives and him yelling "Allah akbar" weren't included in the post. The post isn't about him. It's about The Chairman and the other brave people who stopped a crazy guy armed with a knife with only chairs and a milk crate themselves.

According to the Guardian, the attacker had just "absconded from" a psychiatric facility where he was supposed to be receiving medication. I don't put any more credence to his Allah akbar routine than if he'd been screaming that he was the Queen of France.
