good for him

9/16/2009 3:15:39 PM

The only sword in my house is a roman style gladius.

9/16/2009 3:15:59 PM

The only sword in my house is my immense penis.

9/16/2009 3:16:59 PM

The only man-splitting sword in my house is the one in my pants

9/16/2009 3:17:03 PM

shit i thought this thread was about a blowtorch and a pair of pliers.

9/16/2009 3:19:33 PM

One less habitual law breaker in that area.

Sounds like the guy killed was a real winner.

^ I thought you were going to say it was a wakizashi

I have 3 swords but none of them will cut shit.

9/16/2009 4:09:41 PM

Was it a Hatori Hanzo?

9/16/2009 4:14:34 PM

awesome

9/16/2009 5:22:44 PM

how many people keep swords in their house waiting for the day they get to unleash the fury on a robber? lucky student. awesome student/

9/16/2009 5:24:10 PM

it was probably just decoration. hell, I have two. though not in my current apt now.

I hope this kid doesn't get charged with anything

9/16/2009 5:25:11 PM

ya i was thinking the guy who got slashed probably wasn't even the initial robber, just another robber with bad luck that showed up at dude's house

9/16/2009 5:27:58 PM

I don't understand why there is a question of him being charged here. The burglar was an intruder in his private residence. The student felt as if his life was in danger. This was obviously a case of self defense. What was he supposed to do here? What is the actual law regarding this situation? Are you just supposed to lock your bedroom door and hide under the bed until the police come?

9/16/2009 6:06:16 PM

it's just for decoration, man, that's it and that's all.

9/16/2009 6:18:33 PM

^^in some cities/states and in people's minds, yes, yes you are supposed to run and hide.

"Susan Boswell, the dean of student life at Hopkins, said in a statement that she was "relieved to report that the student was not harmed," but she also advised other students not to follow the swordsman's example. "If you ever suspect that there is a prowler in your residence or on your property, call 911 immediately," Boswell said. "Experts advise that you do not attempt to confront the intruder, but rather secure yourself in a locked area until police arrive. "

9/16/2009 6:28:11 PM

there was a First 48 about a dude that killed a ddue with his sword and chopped him up in the tub


the cops were visibly disturbed at the scene

9/16/2009 6:29:30 PM

when you've only got seconds, the cops are only minutes away

9/16/2009 6:31:11 PM

judged by 12 than carried by 6

Yo student, I know you just killed an intruder and I'mma let you finish, but I just wanna say the marine who killed two robbers was the best home defense of all time.

while quite possibly it's best to get away from the scene/intruder, while still remaining armed, I think it should be a person's choice (legally) to confront an intruder and take the appropriate actions then, as in protection of life AND property. With laws written how they are this isn't situation isn't always legal...

"Rice's criminal history includes more than two dozen arrests for burglary, breaking and entering and auto theft. According to court records, he was charged in 2007 after he pulled a gun on a police officer, though prosecutors placed those charges on hold because the officer was on military leave."

sounds like we should be giving this kid a medal

what do you mean technically he wasnt a robber?

9/16/2009 6:59:57 PM

^^^^^the dude died... I'm sure the hand thing is secondary to that
was he just an intruder or robber? I'm betting on robber considering his record

Maybe the student just got framed by a ninja.

I couldn't find what I was thinking about, only searched for a few minutes, but this will work in its place.

http://shootingmessengers.blogspot.com/2007/06/retired-marine-71-shoots-robbers-kills.html

What I was thinking was that a Marine answered a door late at night with his gun behind his back. When he cracked the door, the guys kicked it in and flung him backwards. He landed on his back with the gun drawn and killed both of the robbers.

to be a robbery, the property must be taken from the owner/possessor by force. sounds like to me we have ourselves a felony B&E and thereby a felony larceny, not a common law robbery

9/16/2009 7:07:58 PM

i'd say once you've racked up over 2 dozen burglary charges, you are technically a robber

9/16/2009 7:09:34 PM

negative my friend

but it is a common misconception

and its also likely that what most people consider a "burglary" is just a larceny
to be a burglary, it has to be at night and there are numerous other elements that must be met to consider it an actual burglary. most stolen property is obtained through a larceny.

9/16/2009 7:12:03 PM

hmm, interesting

btw, did i mention i have a large penis?

9/16/2009 7:13:39 PM

by large he means tiny

9/16/2009 7:14:35 PM
