[Green Wiggly]

Oh, great, another reason to hate the world I'm raising my daughter in. Shouldn't have clicked this.

 

[Helpless Hometown Motor]

What is this shit.

Forget it, Jake; it's Blamespace.

 

[zeioIIDX]

Not my home state, damn. It's shit like this that makes me look over my shoulder when I'm out. My daughter just turned 5 over the weekend and I don't know when/if my overprotective daddy mode is ever gonna go away. Stuff like this doesn't help at all.

 

[Mask]

Fucking nutjob..

Luckily, it was noticed relatively quickly with only one kid getting hurt, although thats still one too many. Could have been far worse though.

 

[Violater]

Hope they run tests on that kid and those blades, some sick fucking people out there.

 

[Lamel]

I think those blades likely have fingerprints right? That guy clearly doesn't seem like he is into pristine work, most of it is sloppily done.

 

[RS4-]

I'd shoot the guy. Reminds me of the fuckers that leave poisoned treats in dog parks, broken glass and nails on the beaches.

 

[CrankyJay]

It's weird. I despise censorship, but I kind of wish this wasn't reported. Could inspire copycats and the person responsible is now probably relishing the attention his act is getting. Keeping it quiet at least for a while, could have helped them set up a sting, by monitoring the scene and see if he comes back to check on his work. There's still a chance he won't be able to resist, but the odds have probably lowered.

I will forever be checking my park for razorblades now every time I take my kid to the park. =(

 

[freenudemacusers]

this guy's technique is real sloppy. I mean if you're gonna do something you should do it right.

looks like the sloppy, lazy work of a millennial.

 

[pants]

It doesn't even look like it's currently bleeding in the picture. Pretty sure it was just took as evidence.

Anyways, I live in the area (Quad Cities), and yeah. Pretty fucked up right there.

The worst one though is this:

No, that's not bird poop. That's the putty they used to glue the razer blades to the equipment. There was a razor blade there. Someone was trying to slice a kid, coming down the slide, in the balls.

Just got flashbacks to this movie

 

[LiK]

Holy shit, hope they find some prints on those blades

 

[Pyrrhus]

Holy shit, hope they find some prints on those blades

I'm sure there are prints. You saw the picture of the toddler's hand, right?

 

[| Praxis |]

Just got flashbacks to this movie

Ha! First thing I thought of.

 

[scsa]

Perversion pertaining to children and hurting them is what I truly don't don't understand about human nature. How can one even possibly think about hurting those little fellows??

Hope Karma kicks the culprit's ass soon.

 

[Tesseract]

he's probably wanking off to this news in his dank cellar. sick fuck, i hope the discs in his neck collapse.

 

[Cloud Strife]

What an interesting world we live in.

There are a lot of sick people in the world that are incapable of empathy.

 

[Omegasquash]

There are some really disgusting people in the world. I hope whoever did this is brought to justice and prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

 

[Zozz]

Oh my god, my soul is cringing to its core.

It's so disturbing to think some children were harmed by this foul and cruel attack, this beyond reason.

 

[thoseAREmySHOES]

Please, please find fingerprints and lock this sick fuck up.

 

[HeisenbergLannister]

Why would the dad treat the wound at home and not take him to the ER? Who knows what kinda sick germs could be on the razor blade as well.

 

[Watevaman]

the er costs a lot of money, home treatment doesnt.

everything you get cut with has germs. if his son started convulsing after the cut then maybe he could go to the er, otherwise throw some peroxide on it and bandage it

 

[Devolution]

You guys are fucking crazy turning on Chavelo like this. He's simply asking what parent would have the presence of mind to take a picture of their child that just got sliced by razor blades.

Sure we weren't there, sure maybe the circumstances could have been less dire than all the blood indicates, but it's not unreasonable to place yourself in that horrific situation, contemplate the worst and think "I as a parent would rush my child to the hospital and take pictures later".

It would have been simple to point out that the kid could have been nicked a bit and that's why the parent felt justified in stopping to take a picture, and then go about your day, but no, one person snaps at him and the bandwagon of vitrol jump on him too. FUCK OFF.

So you've got just as much reading comprehension as he does.

 

[CaptainGyro]

Forget it, Jake; it's Blamespace.

If I weren't so lazy I would look for that "I understood that reference" gif and post it here

 

[HoodWinked]

i saw this on imgur yesterday makes me ill every time i think about it.

i would beat the fucking shit outta the kid that did this.

 

[kehs]

...

Why the fuck would you take a picture of your child's bleeding hand?

"SHUT UP, TIMMY. I NEED TO POST THIS ON FACEBOOK BECAUSE I'M OUTRAGED. I'LL TRY TO BANDAGE IT UP ONCE WE'RE DONE."

stop gluing razor blades to playgrounds please

 

[riotous]

I think those blades likely have fingerprints right? That guy clearly doesn't seem like he is into pristine work, most of it is sloppily done.

Gloves is all it would take. Could even explain the sloppiness.

Unfortunately an easy thing to get away with, at least doing it just once.

You on that NSA watchlist now breh

 

[Valhelm]

I could imagine it was some sick kid maybe 5th or 4th grade doing this. A kid who would look like this....

I'm pretty sure the perp was 21 or younger. This just seems kind of childish.

 

[FStop7]

...

Just FYI I caught a ban for saying much less about someone just as vile. Just a heads up, no backeat modding intended.

I can't imagine what I'd do as the father of that kid. I'd be pulled in several directions at once. Primarily, I'd be wanting to rush my kid to the hospital with thoughts of there being poison or chemicals or God knows what having been placed on the razor blades. But at the same time I wouldn't want to leave the scene until the cops arrived in order to make sure no other kids were hurt. Third, I'd be making the inner decision as to whether or not I'd be prepared to do time for murder if I ever somehow came across the person responsible for that before the cops got to him.

This what happens when kids idolize the Joker.

It's not a daguerreotype.

 

[Ben Morales]

What's this from?

I think it's from "The Pool": http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0283027/

 

[DonMigs85]

this is really horrible. It freaks me out that psychopaths like this walk freely among us.

 

[kick51]

prob a dumb teenager

 

[Odrion]

Oh man, the picture of that kid's hand.

Oh no, oh no nononononono. ;_;

 

[outunderthestars]

As a verified playground inspector this kind of thing terrifies me.

 

[speculawyer]

I can't even imagine why someone would do that.

 

[Lucky Forward]

Just got flashbacks to this movie

Wow, what movie was that? I remember seeing it on TV as a kid...I have no idea now what it was, but I still remember that scene.

 

[Casimir]

I will forever be checking my park for razorblades now every time I take my kid to the park. =(

Make sure to check the sand boxes. A few years ago, someone mixed razor blades in with the sand.

Edit: A quick search shows that this behavior is not an isolated incident and has happened more than a few times in different cities.

great

My guess would be a teenager as well.

Yep. Most cities now employ someone who inspects playgrounds and playground equipment. It is one of the major aspects of my job.

Just curious, how often is an average park inspected?

 

[outunderthestars]

Just curious, how often is an average park inspected?

It depends on the frequency of use, types of equipment etc. Most are inspected at least once a week. I am lucky that I only have 5 parks to manage so I try to get inspect the playgrounds 2-3 times a week. We also have HD cameras recording the play areas in case of any incidents.

 

[skynidas]

well, that's fucked up. there's a lot of fucked up people in the world

 

[BattleMonkey]

Please, please find fingerprints and lock this sick fuck up.

Even if they can find a print, it doesn't mean it will help find out who did it.

 

[outunderthestars]

Even if they can find a print, it doesn't mean it will help find out who did it.

I can't imagine that they will be able to get prints off of that kind of plastic, and even if they could there would be thousands of prints. Hopefully the psycho drove and a nearby camera or two caught images of the vehicle.
