You Florida folks can relax, this one happened near me in the Atlanta suburbs:

The news report doesn't state which item the man attacked the officer with, but I'm guessing it was the machete. I could be wrong though.
Ya know, I've never thought about hitting someone with a chicken. That could almost be worse than the machete. Sharp beak on one end, sharp and dirty claws on the other, with wings to confuse and distract. I'm not sure how to swing one effectively, but I bet you could throw it like a dodgeball. The machete might take something off, but the chicken could cause serious infections not to mention ball of feathers in your face distracting your defense.
Y'all have some interesting news stories down that way, I'll give you that
Was Surrano trying to sacrifice a chicken to Jobu to help with the curve ball situation again?

Well, they sure weren't kidding about it being a suspicious person. I had almost wondered when I first heard it on the radio if this guy was trying some sort of animal sacrifice, but then hearing he attacked the cop makes me doubt that scenario. Unless, of course, he figured whatever deity he worshiped might prefer a cop to a chicken.
At least the guy didn't go off all half-cocked.
Dude was just trying to make some taco's
I would watch a movie about a chicken that fights crime with a machete.
In reply to logdog:
we can be friends...
Atlanta is kind of a suburb of Florida..

he was too chicken
I call religious persecution. The world is a sucky place when a VooDoo High Priest can't walk the streets with his equivalent of a gold chalice.
I pray to you. I stick up for you. You no help get me out jail, I say berkeley you, Jobu. I do it myself.
I knew some Marietta cops when I was living there. I wouldn't brandish a wet noodle at those cats. They took their jobs VERY seriously.
You say that jokingly about Voodoo, but there are a lot of people in that area that have immigrated from areas in Africa, the Caribbean, and Central America in the not-distant past. A lot of those home areas still see significant belief in older, more native practices. Even when I was there in the late 90s there were elements of that around if you looked in the right places. I always thought it was kind of cool.
