Anderson said he had weapons in his bag, and inside the bag was a barbecue fork and a pizza cutter, according to the criminal complaint.

I need to know what the pizza cutter was for

Gotta have a celebratory pizza after the heist.

The fact that Anderson said it was a weapon is even more hilarious, like he's some dollar store ninja ready to kill people with a pizza cutter, lmfao.

No. You dont want to know. The evils that men do with pizza cutters.

the horrors must be mostly imaginary because my pizza cutter can barely cut pizza, what is the bluntness the point.

[–] Wilco@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago

The horrors are beyond imaginary.

It's probably just because he's Italian

The person worked at a pizza shop so multiple possible explanations

I'm sure by "pizza cutter" they mean a mezzaluna, so yes

That's basically what Pizza Hut uses rather than the wheel blades. Just a massive rocker knife.

I've never thought of using those for cutting pie, but I can see that it ought to work fairly well.

It's how you cut through the prison bars, obviously.

I was kind of imagining him trying to cut the link between handcuffs with it. Definitely the right tool for the job!
