Machetes (and Road Rage) in the News
Driver almost loses head in Hollywood road rage case

Posted June 18 2001

HOLLYWOOD -- A case of road rage almost proved fatal early Monday when one driver whacked another driver with a machete, police said.

<snip>

Witnesses said a Mercedes-Benz and a SUV-type vehicle were northbound. They said the Mercedes pulled ahead and kept braking as if to cause the SUV to rear-end it. The vehicles turned west on Sheridan and began traveling side-by-side with both drivers haranguing each other.

Both vehicles pulled off Sheridan Street when they reached the 1200 block and both drivers exited and exchanged words.

At this point, police said the driver of the Mercedes, Scholneger, opened his trunk and pulled the machete, then swung it hitting the driver of the SUV, Pape, on the neck.

2. What am I thinking?
The guy was driving an evil assault vehicle. He deserves to die.

3. the driver of the Mercedes sped off into a gated community
They're beginning to freak behind the walls, folks. Now is the time we should start pointing and staring at them, wispering darkly.

Gates...(SNicker)

4. More evidence of how scummy the National Machete Association is...
along with the corrupt blood money of the machete industry.

5. And that's not all...
I hear they are even now marketing fully automatic machetes towards children as young as three-months old!
