Bad Behavior Friday™! -- We Gotta Get Out of This Place edition

A US soldier who had served in Iraq went nuts aboard a NY-to-Tampa flight and "rammed" the cockpit door -- no explanation of what that means. Did he try to smash it open with his head?
One passenger describes the soldier as behaving oddly by tapping people on the shoulder and pointing to his tattoos.
I know that would alarm me. Don't you hate it when people at parties do that? "Dude, look at my new tattoo." Take a hike!

In a New York subway station, some maniac stole two power saws from a construction crew and attacked a man with the tools, then stole $200 and some credit cards from the sliced-up victim, who survived.

In this incident, the crazy person also displayed some warning signs:
The suspect, a 33-year-old convicted drug dealer, was cradling a stuffed toy gorilla shortly after 3 a.m. when he entered the 110th St. station in Morningside Heights, witnesses said.
Watch out for people carrying stuffed animals.

In a Sacramento suburb, four men stole an ATM machine using a forklift, then failed to crack open the machine using a variety of tools. They got arrested. The men's ages ranged from 35 to 50 -- something about that just seems sad. If they wanted a frustrating, impossible activity for their middle age, they should have just picked up golf.

Plus, plus! A Virginia woman who tried to extort money from a chain restaurant by putting a dead mouse in a bowl of soup was sentenced to a year in jail. Best part:
Evidence included tests showed the mouse had not been cooked and had not drowned but instead died of a fractured skull.
They did a little mousey autopsy! That's a tip to all you would-be extoritionists -- make sure the mouse died from drowning in the soup.
