A truly bizarre and disgusting scene unfolded in Democrat-run Kansas City, Missouri, this week when firefighters had to take a power saw to a porta-potty to free a man who somehow managed to get stuck underneath the toilet seat.
Authorities were called after people heard knocking and screaming coming from the portable toilet near East 17th Street and The Paseo, according to Citizen App.
