  • Todow, on 07/02/2009, -0/+9I'm willing to give him 5 months off his sentence if he actually said "En Garde!"
  • DouglasQ, on 07/02/2009, -0/+6"Hark mi-lady! your oxycontin or your life!"

  • JonTheGoose, on 07/02/2009, -0/+4Seriously, swords need to make a comeback.
  • blofeld9999, on 07/02/2009, -2/+5Rush Limbaugh has resorted to hiring kids to get his Oxycontin now?
  • ImperatorTerrae, on 07/02/2009, -0/+3Brought something rather old/obsolete to the crime blotter, as a matter of fact.
  • Torx, on 07/02/2009, -0/+2I'd run away faster if i saw a wielding sword versus a gun. Guns don't slice arms and heads off.
  • CrazyEddie041, on 07/02/2009, -4/+6Swords cause violence! They must be banned!

    /UK logic
  • RealmDown, on 07/02/2009, -0/+2Alright, so the pun could have been better....

    Riposte
    An attack with right-of-way following a valid parry. A simple (or direct) riposte goes straight from the parry position to the target. A riposte may attack in any line. Consider its equivalent in a conversation.
  • danic85, on 07/02/2009, -1/+3I'm still waiting for them to ban our kitchen knifes... Can't be far off now.
  • humbertoleal, on 07/02/2009, -0/+2Swords are always the way to go.
  • Larssonk22, on 07/02/2009, -0/+2photo doesn't look much like a katana to me =/

    Bring back dueling gloves!
  • LuckyASN, on 07/02/2009, -1/+3Just make tip-less swords and everything will be fine.

    /UK Logic
  • inactive, on 07/02/2009, -0/+2The cops shouldn't be called if someone attempts a robbery with a sword. Security guards should be trained swordsmen, and if the thieves best them, they get the loot.
  • bowens44, on 07/02/2009, -0/+2"Since then the Deliverator has kept the gun in the glove compartment and relied, instead, on a matched set of samurai swords, which have always been his weapon of choice anyhow. The punks in Gila Highlands weren't afraid of the gun, so the Deliverator was forced to use it. But swords need no demonstration."

  • ShiftyBizniss, on 07/02/2009, -0/+2Inaccurate photo. That is NOT a samurai sword. Stock photo fail.
  • Frostek, on 07/02/2009, -0/+1My sword-fighting group would be surprised to hear this.

    Swords are making a comeback in the UK as far as I can see - as a legitimate western martial art.
  • darthom, on 07/05/2009, -0/+1That's what you get for, wait for it, 'bringing a knife to a gun fight." Bada boom. Bada bing.
  • Remlog, on 07/02/2009, -0/+1That's not conspicuous...
  • drewba, on 07/02/2009, -0/+1dugg for "Boring!"
  • CrazyEddie041, on 07/02/2009, -0/+1In that case, I'm starting a riflery club.
  • fuzzytank, on 07/02/2009, -0/+1In before Caruso.
  • gnoshme, on 07/02/2009, -0/+1I was there. For the record the sword in the article is nothing like the one that the kid had. It end of the chase and arrest happened within 30 feet of me and my kid.
  • acegi, on 07/02/2009, -1/+1oh
  • anonymousmedic, on 07/02/2009, -2/+1LEGALIZE DRUGS....

    Oh wait.
  • Pixelante, on 07/02/2009, -1/+0Flamethrowers for posers.
