Karate knife? Is that something like a football bat?

GIS for "karate knife":

Store owner should have stabbed that idiot in the 'coin' purse

FTFA : "The Bayonne convenience store owner charged Monday night with stabbing a customer with a brass knuckle dagger"

Krotty knife made me think tanto blade but ...




TFA makes it sound like a WW1 "trench knife"

Waiting for followup link to store video.

Jack Black 62: Silly man!!! You are not allowed to defend yourself in NYC.

Apparently not... but, from what I've seen lately, those cops are just full of stupid or so drugged out they don't know what the hell to do.

Sure it wasn't a Bayonne-t?

FTA: "I tell the police officer, you can check the camera. I not touch the guy with the knife," he said.

so, did they check the video? he seem's to think it would clear him of the charges.

Wait... so the whole argument was over how many quarters the guy got in change. Really? How does I don't want over two dollars in quarters turn into a knife fight?

If the owner was a girl, would she be a Bayonnette?

"these comments are just as idiotic as mr M. samuel! his wife was giving mr. griffin over eight dollars in coin change after he made a small purchase. griffin refused to except the large amount of coin and requested his $10. bill for return of the merchandise. He did NOT trash the store!...the store became trashed as griffin fought off the attack from the "karateknife" storeowner! Remember this you idiots.. griffin was initially put in handcuffs but after police investigated several witnesses on location and reviewed the tape mr.griffin was released on scene, the store owner and wife then taken into custody!. mr. griffin is from a good family, his brother is a lieutenant police officer,his other brother a firefighter, sister is an EMT, other sister board of education. mr. samuel assulted then attacked mr .griffin with a knife griffins actions are in self defense!"

I'm not sure I'd be too thrilled with eight bucks in quarters, but I'd probably get over it before reaching the part where throwing coins at people and becoming belligerent seemed like a good idea.

Could've been worse. It could have been jarate:

Karate knife hand chop? Meh, I'll take a pork chop.

Came here to point out that "karate" means "open hand" ... found that mootmah has already done so ... leaving with a small amount of renewed hope for the future of humanity, or at least the sector thereof with access to teh Intarwebs.

* "empty hand"

SlowTimedRapid: * "empty hand"

Empty hand, sure. But my penis knife is pointed right at you.

My penis is a hammer.

I prefer to use ninjy whompin action, but that's just me.

"Karate Knife" is my new punk band's name.

Your karate knife is no match for my judo chop.

Ah, but was it held in a kung fu grip?

Jack Black 62: RobSeace: "I tell the police officer, you can check the camera. I not touch the guy with the knife," he said.

So, uh, yeah... Why didn't the cops check the security camera footage to see what really happened?

Because they feel that citizens should never have the right to defend themselves or to defend others. They are worse than scum.

You sound like a career criminal, and a douche.

My brother is a convicted felon but my dad is known as a great guy in my community. If I commit a crime, the worst they can do to me is put me in a halfway house.

Odd that you freaked out about that part. This was the part that interested me more if true -

griffin was initially put in handcuffs but after police investigated several witnesses on location and reviewed the tape mr.griffin was released on scene, the store owner and wife then taken into custody!.

Aren't trench knives themselves illegal in both NY and NJ?

Pretty sure just having the thing there is, itself, a misdemeanor- let alone brandishing one.

Wait, isn't karate unarmed?

venerant: Wait, isn't karate unarmed?

Just because "karate" means empty hand doesn't mean you can't grip it in an orifice.

"Karate" apparently means "Say the same thing over and over again, not having read earlier posts".

venerant: Wait, isn't karate unarmed?

you can use your arms.
and hands
and in bo do kan.
oh, never mind.
ju jitsu
ju do
and karate
are all different
as is
savate
and gung fu
and la carte
and hapkido
and akido
and screw it (new window)
you figure it out
I speak softly and carry a gun, but I am a weapon.
Best form of self defense is not getting involved, which is why I'm a Farker.

Never insist that a cop is incorrect. This guy is lucky that he didn't get charged with resisting arrest.

No kidding. I grew up 3 of the shorties from there. You do not park a mercedes. You will watch yourself after dark. You will not fark with the locals. I know it looks pretty from up top. The neighborhood is called Kensington, but think of it as West Flatbush. That alone will save your tuckus. ( once was part, long ago, of the Hasidim stronghold. ) Nowadays everyone knows to watch the enviro.

& as much as I hate to say it; that might've been all their change available that day. It is a rough hood on the small businesses. You def do not wanna have change for a fify on hand. People have been killed a few blocks away for their Jordans.
