Wanna see my sword?

Katanasized!

A Johns Hopkins University student armed with a samurai sword killed an intruder in his garage, Baltimore police said Tuesday.

Two laptops and a Sony PlayStation had been stolen by burglars Monday from the home, on University Parkway just blocks from the school, said police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi. Early Tuesday, one of the four Hopkins students who live in the home noticed the garage door was open and took a sword with him to investigate...

In the garage, the student told police he discovered a man and when the student told the man to get out, the man accosted him, Guglielmi said. The student defended himself with the sword, cutting off the man's hand and causing a severe laceration to his upper body...

Classic iaido kesa giri form: disarm on the draw stroke, eviscerate on the down stroke. Nicely executed. We'll forgive him if he didn't finish the form with a proper blade sling to clean the blood, but practice does make perfect.

The man died at the scene...

That's what happens when you show up to a sword fight without a sword.

Guglielmi said the man had been arrested on charges such as burglary several times before, and had been released Saturday from a Baltimore County jail. Police are interviewing the student and his roommates, and are talking to prosecutors about whether to file charges.

For what? Defending his life and property? I think not. He just took out the trash. Give the boy a Good Citizen Award and move on.
