Johns Hopkins Student Cuts off a home intruders hand
« on: September 18, 2009, 10:57:25 AM »
with a samurai sword, the suspect died from blood loss there after. The student heard rumbling going on down stairs in his home (with his 4 room mates), and armed with a samurai sowrd went to check it out. He went into the garage to see the man crounched under a table and thats when the intruder lunged at him. The student then swung the sword and hit his upper body causeing huge laserations and also cutting off his left hand. Possible charges (if any) are still being reviewed against the student.

The suspect has had a long history of break ins with 29 arrests, and his last release was just on Sept. 12.

wtf?? charges being reviewed!?!? self defense, too bad for the suspect but seriously, you break into someones home eventually you will get someone who will kill you.

 :aok+1 for the student

You run into this a bit when someone defends themselves with an "exotic" weapon. Oddly enough, just shooting an intruder seems to have a better "gut check reaction" with the sheeple and "authorities" than maiming them with a bladed weapon, however totally unreasonable that is.

yes I agree, The law is to strict on people defending their home or to prevent the harm or loss of life to themselves or another person, In the UK a few years ago someone broke into a farmers house who was armed, the farmer shot him with his shotgun in self defence and went to prison for manslaughter IRRC.. It was all over the news.

I heard about the farmer incident.

Honestly, here in the usa, if someone tresspasses on your property and he falls into your pool and dies, ITS YOUR FAULT no matter how well you have in fenced out.

WTF!?

swords kill people...... we need more sword control laws........... you should have to take a 6 week safety training course then provide 6000 forms of ID and submit to several background checks blah blah etc etc

sword safety needs to be  at the forefront of legislation............ without more laws how can we safely feel at peace while all these swords exist

You know, there is some backwoods moron who knows someone, who knows someone that knows someone, with connections in Washington D.C. thinking exactly that, and seriously.

Can't wait...we have laws against high capacity semi-automatic weapons because of maybe 100 trailer trash morons over the past 30 years, it's just a matter of time before we have "blade control" laws.

I don't see anything wrong with him using the sword as self defense, heck, I would have done the same thing if someone lunged at me cause he's then a threat to my life and if I have the weapon advantage...........sucks for the sucker on the receiving sucks.

I say we should all go back to swords anyway because of the training it takes to use effectively, as opposed to a gun which any moron can figure out which way to point.

He should have used a bat. Then they could require 20 forms to get bats. Baseball players would need to submit their training certs and and and ....  :rolleyes:
