LINCOLN, Neb. - A driver who threw an axe at another motorist, wounding him, has been sentenced to 37 days in jail.
The man, 51, was sentenced Friday in Lancaster County Court for third-degree assault and criminal mischief after pleading no contest to the charges.
Authorities said two vehicles were traveling near an intersection on June 13 and one cut in front of the other, prompting both vehicles to stop.
The man threw a 3-foot axe through the other driver's passenger window, striking him in the ribs with the blunt end.

What does defeat mean to you?
Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

Mark, shame on you for not knowing your Tolkein. 
Oh, and they damn well should have charged him with attempted murder for this. You don't throw a fucking axe at someone's upper body/head unless you intend to kill them.

Except the sentencing board apparently.

Re: Driver gets jail for throwing axe at motorist
Come on - it was CLEARLY intended as a warning shot, just deflected by breaking through the window.
In truth, though, I have to say that with the way I get when I drive (especially considering using the northern end of the Jersey Turnpike the last few days) the only reason that it wasn't me in that article is because I don't own an axe... and the only hunting knife I own has been in my family since before they emigrated from Poland, and I wouldn't want to lose it.
