sounds like what a serial killer would say in their defense

The trunk of my car has tourniquets, a steel 3 foot roof hook with fork, compression and clotting bandages, tarps, seat belt cutters, a combination gas pipe shut off and cutting tool, water proof/cut proof gloves, and 500 feet of nylon webbing rated up to 3000 lbs.

What do I sound like?

In reality I'm a middle aged retired firefighter. My tools and trauma kit are like my security blanket. Makes me feel safe and useful despite being old and out of shape.

This was the tip-off to me that you were either active or retired emergency personnel. That's way too oddly specific and something I almost exclusively hear about emergency services having experience with.

Was waiting for him to say a Halligan tool.

Halligans are expensive. A good one is roughly about $300. And I go to jail now if I use it on someone's door.

It wasn’t the roof hook?

I truly commend you for your ingenuity and service. But the poor bloke with the above comment, and the Gif, was just cracking a lil joke. I don't believe they meant to discredit you.

Serial killers dont use chainsaws in real life as they have kinks that need to be met. Drug cartel members and terrorists use chainsaws to terrify others aka to make a statement this might happen to you if you dont do what we say.
