Samurai Vigilantism

with 2 comments

Every man is the king of his castle, or in the case of one Johns Hopkins University student, Daimyo of his yamashiro. After hearing a commotion he rushed downstairs, samurai sword in hand, and with one deadly blow dispatched his victim in a pool of blood and entrails. Of course the police promptly arrested the man defending his home, but hopefully justice will prevail and the sword-wielding ronin will be freed on his own recognizance. This reminds me that it might be time to polish up the old pig-sticker and practice my war face.

R. Lee Ermy would be scarier if he had a sword.
