Default Hai Yah! Student kills buglar with a Samurai Sword.

Holy crap. how insane is this? he first severed his left hand and then went for the kill with a neck shot! Wow. Hands off my PS3!

Isnt' that extreme? crazy stuff.

http://www.calgaryherald.com/health/...598/story.html

A U.S. student on Tuesday killed a recidivist burglar with a samurai sword, slicing off his left hand and severely cutting his neck after he spotted the intruder in his garage, police said.The undergraduate medical student at Baltimore's prestigious Johns Hopkins University was being questioned by police but he may not be charged if found to be acting in self-defense. Samurai swords are legal in the United States.
Police received a call for help at 1:20 a.m. after the burglar pried open a side-door into the garage of the house, which four students rented off the campus, Baltimore police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said.
"They asked him to stop and while they called police, the suspect lunged at the student. He then retaliated by striking him with a samurai sword, severed his left hand and gave severe lacerations to the upper torso," he said.

According to this article:

It was only one slice that did all the damage. I bet NOTHING gets stolen from dude's place for the rest of the semester.

Well, I guess it is not too crazy if the burglar actually did go after him. The weapon used in self defence is irrelevant.

Maybe i should teach my 1 year old to read and be a ninja.

Wouldn't a lunge have stopped the burglar?

I own a couple of Samuri Swords, now I'm praying that someone breaks in. If he can kill a man using one, think of what I can do with two.

Dude my wife asked me to get our 2 year old dressed today and I dressed him in a ninja outfit. It was kick ass.

You'd kill yourself too?

Are your swords sharpened? Would you seriously use them in self defence?

I think a tennis racquet would be suitable enough for Calgary.

I guess the burglar learned the hard way not to mess with OPP.

They self sharpen in the holder, last time I checked they could still cut quite well.

I don't play with them much anymore though.
