Terrible, terrible story. Horizonseeker is right. I think what matters here is intent. If those being victimized were intent on fighting thier attacker, they could've used almost anything as a weapon. A good (yet tragic) reminder that in a survival situation, state of mind is at least 50% of the battle.
