Can you imagine yourself sitting inside your apartment when your neighbor starts breaking through your door with a chain saw?
Well that’s what happened to Jamie Zaleski when 34 year old Robert Kane who was angry because one of Zaleski’s friends parked in front of his house used a chainsaw to get into Zaleski’s house.
The incident happened in Scranton, Pa last March. Zaleski and several of his friends ran out the back when the attack began.
Police say Zaleski heard a knock at the door, asked who it was, and Kane responded, “Your worst (expletive) nightmare. Open the door or I’ll cut it down.”
Officials say, he then cut a gash in the door with a chain saw.
The defense said Zaleski never actually saw Kane wielding the saw. But a witness testified that Kane bragged about the incident, and the jury convicted Kane on Tuesday of attempted burglary, terroristic threats and other charges. A sentencing date wasn’t immediately set.

Police in Knoxville had to rescue a man, Richard Anthony Smith, 25, after he got himself stuck in the Knoxville Museum of Art.
Smith told police that he was a secret agent and that he’d been on a mission when he became stuck in an air conditioning duct that lead from the museums roof. The man actually had to call 911 to get help!
When Police and firefighters reached the museums roof they found a rope and cable which lead to a vent shaft. Forty five feet below, deep inside the vent, was Richard Anthony Smith.
He told them his Mission had failed.
After being rescued he was read his rights and he apparently told police he was a “special agent from the United States Illuminati, badge number 0931″ and had rappelled onto the museum from a helicopter.
Hmmm I think this guy has either read or seen the movie The Da vinci Code one time too many!
He went on to tell the police that he was following orders to “defuse and confiscate” a Soviet-made nuclear warhead, specifically a “MERV6SS-22AN” warhead, according to the report. The bomb supposedly was hidden in a blue, plastic cow sculpture in the museum basement.
However, Smith told officers his “agency” called while he was in air-vent limbo to say it made a mistake and the bomb might be in a Memphis museum instead.
The police have charged Smith with aggravated robbery and he’s being held on $2,000 bond at the Knox County Jail. Authorities said he did not have a lawyer.
“Fortunately he was able to reach his cell phone,” DeBusk said, “or he may not have been found for quite some time.”

More stories for the dumb people file!
In May, Jorge Espinal, 44, was taken to a Fort Worth, Texas, hospital after an early morning accident. He’d been drinking and when he suddenly became itchy in a hard to reach spot on his back he quite smartly decided to scratch the itch with a loaded handgun. I’m sure you’ve already figured out the outcome of this stupid act – yes he shot himself in the back!
Don’t read this one if you’re easily grossed out:
A juvenile and two young men were recently charged in Houston Texas with corpse abuse.
They had allegedly gone to a graveyard in Humble, Texas and dug up a grave. They removed the corpses head and took it away to use as a bong to smoke marijuana.
