4. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Edited on Tue Aug-12-03 02:43 PM by Magic Rat
Edmonton, Alberta. Sep. 2002. A crudely disguised man wielding a samurai sword burst into a Canadian Jehovah's Witness church and tried to rob 65 congregation members before he was foiled by one who used his cell phone to alert police. Police responded quickly and arrested the man after convincing him to drop the two-foot long blade. Edmonton police officers at the scene also recovered a soup ladle and a medieval-style mace from the suspect, apparently in his early 30s, who was dressed in a trench coat, sunglasses, rubber gloves and ---a mask fashioned out of banana peels. (source: Reuters).

I guess that crook couldn't give the cops the "slip".

Thank you, thank you!

:evilgrin:

5. Who's the crazy one?
Edited on Tue Aug-12-03 02:46 PM by Twillig
reading down from that link... :


The assailant claimed to be a samurai warrior and slashed the woman (5-months pregnant at the time) after she spit on him during an argument mocking his fighting ability. The man, diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, was sentenced in July 2003 to 5-10 years for aggravated assault and reckless endangerment after the woman refused to testify against him -and plans to marry him in prison.

:crazy:

Those who swim in the shallow end of the gene pool are more susceptible to being hooked and fileted...

I'm sorry. Couldn't resist the sword/filet word play. :eyes:

New York City. July 1986. Juan Gonzales, a deranged illegal alien from Cuba, suddenly attacked commuters with a samurai sword on the Staten Island ferry, wounding 9 and killing 2. He has since been released from an institution and is still in the US. (source: NY Times).
