I agree with ‘Ban all Chairs’ above. Hold chair manufactures responsible. Was the chair a semi auto folding chair?
I have stayed silent on the issue of chairs too long but there comes a time when you must take a stand. I am joining the “Ban All Chair” movement starting today. Only by banning all chairs will we get the chairs out the hands of the criminals.
As a start we have to declare schools and government buildings “no chair zones”
Family Dispute…….Put them in a room (with no furniture) and let them settle it among themselves. Wasting our tax payer dollars.
OMG, heard it was an AR-Chair with many legs on it each capable of inflicting harm.
BAN all Chairs.
Maybe Mr. Strong could have sat on his cousin instead of using a chair. Is your behind considered a deadly weapon? I guess so if you really think about it.
Quick! Ban ALL chairs !
He wanted some respect and his money back.
It would certainly be an unpleasant surprise, to see Mr Strong approaching, wielding a chair.
Pic of the chair?
