Armed with a samurai sword

Hate to be picky, but I think that's supposed to be a ninjato.

Mr. Rogers on crack.
See kids....it's not all fun and games.

Lanni was immediately attacked by Rogers, who wielded the sword so forcefully that its blade was bent in the assault

A cheap piece-of-shiat sword-shaped-object like that could be bent by the forceful wielding of vigorously waving it in the air.

I'm not interested unless the story involves a thousand years of power.

This.

A real sword wouldn't bend like that without someone being cut in half.

Let's see, where to go? There can be only one? Or two men enter, one man leaves?

Well that's one more thing you should never bring to a particular kind of fight (stun-gun, in this case).
The list is getting fairly long, actually.

that's a ninjato, not a katana.

Whoever wrote this article needs to get his facts straight. Mr Rogers' first name was Fred, not George.

I must admit, had Fred Rogers battled swastika-wearing swordsmen in his show it would have been more entertaining.

These guys always have the crappiest Amazon.com or swap-meet bargain basement toys.

It's a serious case of "I never got past being a 12 y/o boy."

I have one of those swords... Made in Pakistan and purchased for less than $20. I believe my brother and I broke one on a sapling when we were ten.

On an interesting note:

Philadelphia beat cops don't carry tasers. They're only issued to sergeants, which cuts down on the rampant taser abuse in the city.

What the hell is a straight deck? Are they saying he's ghey?

Good job there.

Have I mentioned today how much I hate Philadelphia and this entire stupid State? I need to move... I wish I could. Between the Nazi sword wielding red necks, the crazy homeless people, the hoodlums at the Gallery, and New Jersey drivers, I am suprised I am still alive or not in jail for going into a homicidal rage.

I'm pretty sure more bad guys have died from a good old fashioned Rodney King style beat down than from TASERS.

When you finally snap, be sure to use a sword and and we'll all make comments about you.

This, boys and girls, is the proper use of a taser. Its for sword-wielding nutbars, not disagreeable grannies.

"This guy has issues. He's not dealing with a straight deck; his escalator doesn't go all the way to the top; he's about three cokes short of a six-pack Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna make like a tree and get out of here."

I'm surprised that blade didn't fall apart the second it hit something solid. I recognize that as a cheap smokey mountain knifeworks ninja-to replica. Those things are junk.

Does it really matter? He is probably still a virgin that constantly masturbates in the back room of his mother's apartment. No wonder he has so much anger.

An arsenal is not $50 of cheap shiat the guy picked out of a cut-rate catalog, thanks. It offends those of us who own true arsenals.

$3,900! Holy shiat, I'm in the wrong business.
 
2009-10-20 02:30:28 PM
LOL!

I used to own that "sword".

I ordered it because I just *had* to see what $6 worth of "sword" was all about.

Earlier "sword shaped object" comment is very accurate.

Bonus internts to the person who can find the .gif/vid of the QVC guy banging it against a table, where it snaps and stabs him in the gut.

I've read that article twice now, and for the life of me I can't really find a motive for all his looniness... I mean, he doesn't really have to have a *real* motive, but even the most disassociated whackaloon has at least one kernel of logic in their bushel of crazy... You know, like a legitimate beef that may have set him off...

Let's see, the guy was 36, living in with his mom in an apartment... I don't recall if he was employed or not from the article, but I'm guessing no.

On the other hand he seemed to be a sword/knife nut, who had most of his body covered in tattoos.

So you have the childish aspects of his personality conflicting with the more mature (or at least he perceived them that way) aspects... Essentially he's always wanted to be a 'tough guy', but he is inwardly sickened by the fact that he still has to defer to his mother...

His mom probably told him he had to throw away all his liquor or his pornos or something and he when full frothmouth... He was probably bound to blow up sooner or later anyway. But the catalyst may have been that he was sick of having to follow his mother's rules, but felt powerless to improve or remove himself from the situation. He was probably stewing over a couple of other things that may have happened this day, and just had to have the right push to start getting all swordy...

I guess you could say he was... (sunglasses)
A little bit on edge...

Sybarite: Armed with a samurai sword

Hate to be picky, but I think that's supposed to be a ninjato.


Ninjato were completely fabricated in the 1980's, particularly the straight bladed sword with the square guards. That is a $69.95 bud-k wallhanger POS, so of course it bent when it hit anything, you can bend them with your bare hands almost (the police said he attacked with such force that he bent the blade).

I am betting this guy had some interesting voodoo in his noggin.
