Surveillance footage has surfaced of a man wielding a chainsaw against bar patrons at a U.K. pub last year after he was asked to leave for smoking inside.
The Daily Mail reported 24-year-old Dean Dinnen, drunk and under the influence of drugs, returned with the gasoline-powered chainsaw to get back at the customer who told him to leave in the August incident.
The video shows him charging at several people outside before he enters the pub and proceeds to wreak havoc: Patrons attempt to fend him off with bar stools and other items in order to escape before several people brandishing tables and chairs ultimately force him outside.
The customer Dinnen was seeking had apparently already left.
According to Newscore, Dinnen sliced into 32-year-old Adrian Pryor’s arm, cutting through the skin and muscle. Pryor, the only victim, required surgery and said he felt the attack would “be with me for the rest of my life.”
Dinnen pleaded guilty to several charges, including causing grievous bodily harm, and was sentenced to three years in prison.
“This was a really horrendous incident,” Judge Michael Mettyear said. “It must have been so, so frightening for people. The sound alone of one of these machines in that sort of space would terrify people and it did terrify people.”

Posted on February 12, 2012 at 2:29pmI agree with MILS
The HuffPo CEO is reporting trash stories through the undercover liberals employed by the blaze, high school bimbo’s and SE Cupp propaganda swinging from Romneys nether regions.
Where is the investigative journalism?
Where are the stories of govt officials committing treason, organized crime and providing the material support of terrorism against US Citizens?
Where are the reports on the FBI officials covering up and participating in treason, organized crime and terrorism?
Where are the reports on Iron Mountain?
Where are the reports on the board members of the federal reserve and now the IMF?
Where are the reports on monsanto?
Where are the reports on Barack Hussein Obamas background? Beck asked on his radio show “I wonder who the first person to find Obamas prayer rug will be?” Then on his TV show he called him a radical christian.
Where are the reports on criminal activity perpetrated by the Justice Dept and Eric Holder?
Where did the story on Ba’al go? Removed from the GB and never reported on the blaze site.
Where is the story on the chineese that hacked the US drone?
Where are the stories on Van Jones and SEIU rep Steven Lerner?
Thank god you reported on the border. It only took you three years.
This is getting depressing. The blaze is doing nothing except regurgitating MSM stories, AKA Repeaters.

Posted on February 12, 2012 at 6:51pmTotally agree the blaze has been a bit of a let down. Still look at Drudge for the news. Never see anything on here that wasn’t on Drudge 3hrs earlier :( I also was hoping for hard hitting investigative reporting when Glenn announced “The Blaze”. Oh well maybe Glenn or Scott will read the comments section and see what the readers actually want. We all could care less about the TMZ type reporting.

Posted on February 12, 2012 at 7:14pmDon’t outlaw them, we need a “common sense” approach. Just think about the founders. Could they have had the ability to form our country without chainsaws? They were not just for the militia you know.

Posted on February 12, 2012 at 2:12pmOkay, for a second I thought the people were idiots. Good they improvised, used their environment and threw tables and chairs at the imbecile. A chainsaw isn’t a very practical weapon, You need to have both hands on it. I couldn’t make out if patrons threw beer mugs at him. Those are usually heavy and would be a good weapon as well.

Posted on February 12, 2012 at 1:36pmLooks like they stopped him outside, throwing kegs at him. Notice also, in the UK, no one had a gun to defend all of those people. With a gun it would have been a simple matter to just take him out. But then, if they had guns, maybe he would have brought a gun instead of a chain saw.
