Choose You Fate:

By Knife or by Car
An attempted knife robbery was reported
February Twelfth, but it was unsuccessful
because the three knife-wielding decided
to hold up a slaughterhouse. There were
butchers in the slaughterhouse, and they are
very used to effectively using sharp blades
on large objects. The butchers stabbed two
of the three robbers to death. The third
man escaped and left by car.
After a car chase, the third, only living,
thief pulled over and leapt from his car.
Instead of fleeing into underbrush where
he might be able to hide himself,
he ran into the highway and tried to
dodge heavy traffic. Within seconds, the
third knife-wielding slaughterhouse robber
was run over by large truck, killing him.
