Apparently a college student living with a few other guys had their off-campus place broken into and some stuff stolen (laptops, games) and the guy came back for more only to get a mean surpise, lol.

[Correction]

If the thief had a gun this would never have happened, etc. etc.

And because I have over 10 posts:

Johns Hopkins student kills intruder with samurai sword, police say -- baltimoresun.com

The suspected burglar, whose name was not released pending notification of next of kin, had prior convictions for breaking and entering and had just been released Saturday from a Baltimore County facility, Guglielmi said.

Released on a Saturday, robbing again on Monday, the prison system works!

seno read the word samurai and just had to make a post

PS: dude's my hero. I wonder if it cut cleanly lol

[The Stig]

Was he meditating before the kill?

[grantlogan]

I read this article earlier and the first thought to come to mind was, Brutal! Then, Awesome! That burglar was a fool. If you see a guy standing there with a samurai sword telling you to get out, do you A)Comply or B)Attack. He asked to get cut up.

[Senoska]

I never understood why people re-break into homes. If my shit gets stolen even once you had better bet that I'm sitting there with a loaded gun by my side at all times.

[Zoolander]

My first reaction to this was shit...that is just the excuse I need to get a fuckin Samurai Sword and my second brought back memories of Pulp Fiction and Bruce Willis. Great stuff haha

Since you didn't say "Inb4 Zantetsuken"...

Zantetsuken.

I just wonder if he was badass about it, like, facing away from the intruder standing still, then as the intruder approached, he spun around and in one clean, swift slice, he was cut in two. Standing there, apparently whole with a look of surprise on his face for a few seconds before the top half of his body slides diagonally off the bottom half, onto the floor. Then the lower half falls over.

Or if he was a pansy, holding it shakily like an oversized knife and got lucky with a blind stab.

They both jumped into the air at each other and striked. They both landed but then moments later, one of them fell over onto the ground, dead.

I was thinking more like tachi: rana since he almost removed the guy's hand too.

You found your own stuff on the Burglar!

baltimore is so awesome. i need to add this college student to my sig of real baltimore killas

[Jaraude]

Just read this story from the AP and was like f-yeah! Justice was served much better with the samurai sword than if burglar had just been caught and arrested. Props to the college student that defended his property.

[kuronosan]

Fuck yes. This is why mine is at my bed side at all times. Never know when I'll actually need to use it.

Burglar got what he deserved. It's a shame he had to die, but how retarded do you have to be to keep breaking into places after going to jail for it?

Of course, the criminal's mother is going to cry and cry and ask for justice... Justice was served. Kudos to the kid for standing up for what's right.

[Qalbert]

Kid should have done the honorable thing and let the burglar seppuku (sp?)

[isladar]

Justice was served. Kudos to the kid for standing up for what's right... with a motherfucking sword.

ftfy

I'm severely disappointed at the lack of one-liners/groaners in this thread.

I'll start.

I've heard Hopkins is a cut-throat school...

Laceration to the upper body and a nearly severed hand, killing the victim nearly instantly? That's a solid cut there.
