Article says “hula hoe”…that’s not even remotely a scythe. Scythe…yea…shoot him…

What if it’s Putin with a hula hoe and not a scythe?

What is the "hula" aspect of this hoe? A hula hoop I can undestand the provenance of.

It's a loop on a pole. Usually sharpened on one side. Frequently used for weeding...

I don't think you can tell that at all. I watched it several times...

I watched the video and could not tell what it was. Definitely a long tool on a pole*

Idk if someone was rushing at me with that held up, I'd probably be in fear

For sure...you may very well get harmed...but I just wanted to be accurate with a descriptor...

never, ever, EVER call the cops unless you're OK with the subject of the call dying

*ding* Will this situation possibly get worse if we add firearms into the equation?

That the police, when rushed by someone holding a metal gardening tool can shoot*

Agreed. In this particular scenario, I think there was a reasonable fear. They just shouldn't have

This is kinda where I question the family themselves...

Our families get beat up by their loved ones. What should they do? *

I don't know. Calling the cops, expecting them to not draw their firearm and shoot...

And most families would rather get beat up. But sometimes there's nothing else they can do

Dude. This is exactly what I do for a living. There is literally no where to turn besides police

My takeaway is that he disagrees with British new sites on what constitutes a "gardening tool".*
