Note to self: Don't get argumentative with underage sword wielding drunkards.
duly noted. i'll stick to the angry, sober ones instead. ;)
Was he an MAist or just nuts?
I would think (hope) the latter.
Two-foot sword? Seems a bit short. I hope it wasn't one of ours. :rolleyes:
Complete this phrase.
"And he might be a red____."
Probably a decorative Wakizashi. They are often 2 feet long.Quote:

SevenStar, well, his prison sentence will be bigger in Tejas.:D
I lived in Texas a couple of years. Then moved back to the hills of NC where I belong. There is a huge difference between a hillbilly and a cowboy.
I remember once having to take down this combative patient at a ZZ Top show when working forRock Med. We had him pinned and in soft restraints, when we discovered that he was covertly working a push dagger out of one of his pockets. He would never have got it out, but it gave us quite a scare. We got extra man-power (the cops) and did a thorough search (not possible when we first took him down, he was scrappy). The cops, always eager to show us up in these situations, counted nine knives on him. Now there were some real knives, including the illegal push dagger, so I don't want to lessen that part, but some of the things they counted as knives, a key pen knife and a cuticle tool, sure you could stab some one with one just like you could stab someone with a pencil, but it wasn't really a 'knife'. My point is that sometimes reports exagerate - so that two foot sword may have just been a big ol' knife. Again, not that it lessens the crime, it only increases the punch of the press copy.
It's true. Except for our knives...smaller knives are easier to hide or hand off after you've shanked the stool pidgeon from cell block C...crappy Texas courts...Steal a carton of milk and you get life...Quote:

SUSHI RAGE: Chef Accused Of Going Knife Wild
Traffic Dispute Gets Out Of Hand As Victim Gets 100 Stitches To Head, Tells CBS 2 HD: 'I Thought I Was Dying'
By JOSH LANDIS, CBS 2 HD News
NEW YORK (CBS) ―
Jack Zaiback is dealing with 100 stiches to his face and head after angry sushi chef allegedly attacked him during a road rage incident on Staten Island on Jan. 23, 2009.
A wild road rage incident on Staten Island could've been a scene right out of a movie.
An angry sushi chef is accused of slicing up another driver during a dispute on the side of the road. But as CBS 2 HD found out, both drivers are facing charges.
"I thought I was dying," Jack Zaiback said. "I actually said a couple of prayers in the EMS."
One minute Zaiback was driving to work; the next, he said, he was fighting off a knife-wielding sushi chef.
"What he did to Mr. Zaiback was he treated him like a slab of tuna. I'll put it that way," attorney Alex Grosshtern said.
Zaiback, 23, was commuting from Brooklyn to a cell phone store he owns in New Jersey when he crossed paths with 37-year-old Yao Zhou and an incident of road rage went off the deep end.
The two men were driving south here on the Western Shore Expressway. Zaiback said he pulled over after accidentally cutting off Zhou. That's when he said Zhou started cutting him.
Zaiback said Zhou first approached the car, but when Zaiback tried exchanging license and insurance information, the attack began.
"He kept trying to reach for my neck and he actually got me right here," Zaiback said pointing. "He did it like seven, eight times."
Zaiback received 100 stitches.
Police have filed assault charges against Zhou and Zaiback, but Zaiback's lawyer said his client's wounds should convince the court his client is a victim.
"This could have easily been a homicide and in my opinion should be charged as attempted murder," Grosshtern said.
Zhou's lawyer declined to speak on camera but told CBS 2 HD there are two sides to every story and, "the truth will come out in time."
Zaiback said he sees meaning in his brush with death.
"I guess God did make a miracle," he said. "Maybe he's trying to make me wake up to something that I'm not doing the right way."
But, he said he has no idea what struck a sushi chef's raw nerve that day.
Zaiback said if it weren't for a passing highway NYPD unit that intervened he could have been killed.
Both men are due in court next month.
It's people like this that make it hard to train in public. Granted I don't run around swinging my sword like a lunatic, but I have had the police called on me for practicing open handed forms in a dark deserted corner of a hotel parking lot. It was frustrating. There were no cars or people or anything, but someone saw me out of their hotel room window and called the fuzz.
Our class got "busted" one summer because a lady called the police to report some "ninja type people dressed in black with swords" on the tennis courts.:eek:
The cop took a look at our swords, understood what we were doing but warned us we could not practice with them in the park because it "might scare someone". He said we could practice with our long poles...:rolleyes:
One of my classmates was practicing with his Bagua instructor in a park, and someone called the cops to report that a man was mugging a nice little old Chinese lady. One the police got there and found that the "nice little old Chinese lady" was in fact mugging the young man, everything was fine. :)
There's probably more to this story.

Woman dies after intervening in sword fight
By Kevin O'Neal
Posted: April 9, 2009
A Northwestside fight involving a sword early this morning left three people stabbed, one of them dead and one under arrest for attempted murder.
Christopher O. Rondeau, 39, is being held on preliminary murder charges at the medical holding facility at Wishard Memorial Hospital. He was arrested by the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department after a fight at 5259 N. Raceway Rd. Rondeau was in stable condition.
The fight was reported about 1 a.m. today. Rondeau and Adolf Stegbauer, 69, both of Indianapolis, were “actively involved in a sword fight,” IMPD spokesman Sgt. Matt Mount said in a statement. One man used what police described as a World War II Japanese officer’s sword and another had a thin blade sword, although investigators were not immediately certain which weapon was used by which man.
Preliminary reports from police said that Franziska Stegbauer, 77, Indianapolis, tried to break up the fight and was fatally stabbed. Police found all three victims inside the residence on Raceway Road when they arrived early this morning.
An autopsy performed today has determined that a stab wound from a sword was the cause of death.
Adolf Stegbauer was taken to surgery at Wishard, and was reported in serious condition this afternoon.
Police said Rondeau was Franziska Stegbauer’s grandson.
Police do not know how the fight started or who stabbed Stegbauer, Mount said.

Indianapolis Metro Police say a 77-year-old woman who tried to break up a sword fight between her grandson and brother-in-law died of the stab wounds she sustained.
Franziska Stegbauer was attempting to break up the fight between 69-year-old Adolf Stegbauer and 39-year-old Chris Rondeau in the 5200 block of North Raceway early Thursday morning.
IMPD Sgt. Matt Mount says officials will wait for further tests to determine who delivered the fatal blow to the woman before making any arrests on murder charges.
Rondeau has been arrested for attempted murder for the wounds he inflicted upon Adolf Stegbauer. Adolf remains in critical condition.
Rondeau is being treated at Wishard Hospital in police custody.
German Fraternity's and some American house's have real sword fights regularly. Im sure there was a few threads about 'it' on this forum a few years ago.

Sword-waving ninja accused of attempted robbery
19 hours ago
WEYMOUTH, Mass. (AP) — Police say a man dressed liked a ninja used a sword in an attempt to rob a Weymouth dry cleaner. According to police, a convenience store clerk called police Monday after she noticed a man walking into the store wearing a ski mask and carrying a sword in a sheath on his belt. When the man noticed her, he pulled his mask off and asked if she was calling about him, police said.
When she said she was, police said the man left the store and walked into nearby Galaxy Cleaners.
There, police said he pointed a sword at the register and asked a clerk to give him all the money inside. Police said he left after she told him she couldn't open the drawer.
Police still are searching for the man, who witnesses said appeared to be in his late 20s.
Too much hobbit leaf for these wannabes.

Drunken 'sword fight' leaves one seriously injured in St. Lucie

'Sword fight' leaves one seriously injured in Port St. Lucie
Pictured is the sword used during an altercation Monday. The fight left one person seriously injured, while two others were treated at the scene and declined to be taken to the hospital.
ST. LUCIE COUNTY — Two roommates were jailed following a Monday confrontation that involved an 18-inch sword and that sent a third person to a local hospital in serious condition, according to arrest reports released Tuesday and officials.
William L. Luciano, 60, and his 48-year-old roommate, Patricia D. Best, were arrested following the attack that happened about 8 p.m. on Hidalgo Lane in the Spanish Lakes community east of U.S. 1 and south of Prima Vista Boulevard.
A witness told St. Lucie County Sheriff’s investigators she saw Luciano “walking around outside swinging a sword and yelling at everyone,” an arrest report states.
The victim’s mother reported seeing Luciano chasing her son out of a home. Luciano cut her son on the arm, and her son broke a dresser and used a piece of the dresser to defend himself.
At least one other witness said Luciano hit the victim with a knife, which a sheriff’s official said was an 18-inch sword with a 13-inch blade, and that the victim defended himself with a broken dresser piece.
Luciano, who was sprayed with pepper spray when he didn’t follow a deputy’s orders, said the victim was trying to hit Best and that he was defending her, reports stated.
“Mr. Luciano told me he was the equalizer to (the victim) because (the victim) was six-foot-four,” a report states.
Investigators said Best admitted hiding a sheath, and they found about a half ounce of marijuana in her room. Best denied knowing about the pot, but Luciano said it was hers, reports stated.
All participants were drunk, according to authorities.
Luciano faces charges including aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and resisting arrest without violence, while Best was arrested on charges including tampering with evidence, accessory after the fact, possession of less than 20 grams of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.
The victim was taken to a local hospital in serious condition, a St. Lucie County Fire District spokeswoman said.
This is great, really resourceful of the victim maybe he's the next Jackie Chan, Lol
that last guy sounds like a wannabe legionnaire lol
was that a gladius he was using?
