Olson is being held on a $20,000 bond for first degree burglary.

Only 20K? That's $2,000 from Mommy and he's out on bail. Should be $50K minimum for committing a hot burglary and maybe another $50K for stupidity.

An excellent smiting.

[JRandomFreeper]

*Slap! Drops gloves*

'Choose your weapons'

'10 pound sledgehammers'

That sound like your kind of duel? ;)

I bought my son a Cold Steel Army Saber when he was commissioned. They make quality swords.

[MikeSteelBe]

There can be only one...may it NOT be Jeremy Wayne Olsen!

Sounds like a redneck perp to me.

My wallet birth certificate confirms my Mother’s middle name is “Clodus”.

There is no “might” to me being a redneck.

Cue John Belushi slicing Buck Henry’s forehead during skit back when Saturday Night Live was funny.

For some reason, Buck with a bandage seemed a bit ticked for the rest of the show.

“A young feller like you ought not to be talkin’ like that...un hun...”

[Tax-chick]

The 18-year-old Olson ran from the home and called 911, reporting he'd been shot.

Jeremy Wayne seems to be a special kind of stupid ...

I'd have used the spear that's on the bedroom wall, and Jeremy would be dead, bless his heart.

Thanks for linking that video. I agree with your thinking, why buy a sword if not a real one?

[cricket]

Good story. ..but given that these reports now hit the net and end up in 'far away places' would appreciate a little more referencing i.e. 'Mayfest'? A store? A local fair? What and 'where' did he 'pick up' a sword?

Good timing, if he just brought it home.

[AnTiw1]

The guy on the video is a seller and well acquainted with swords...I love how at three different instances he just stares at the blade like “what is with this thing?” He is obviously impressed.

[OKSooner]

Mayfest is the local spring party with music and food in the downtown area where much beer and also some arts and craftsy stuff and various kinds of artifacts are sold.

That sound like your kind of duel?
Yep. A 4-6 pound head, though, on about a 3' shaft for my height. 8 at the most for me. You lose swing momentum otherwise. 10 pounders are a bit much and tire you out, unless you're a hulk. You can have a shorter shaft for close in work or pull out the flanged mace then.
Knees...takes 'em down no matter how big.

[baddog 219]

I pity the man who meets my kukuri. the thing is so sharp it’s scary.

[Ole Okie]

Hah! Missed me!

Wait till you tries to waggle yo’ head.

[albionin]

Yep. Definitely needs do do some work with the Arkansas stones. I believe the ancient test of sharpness for a samurai sword is splitting a feather in mid-air.

[cricket]

Thanks for background on Mayfest. . .never thought about keeping a sword around; but who knows; maybe not a bad idea.

Did he have a permit for that weapon?

It sounds like this was an assault weapon that was probably banned by the Feds.

Did he have to reload after each shot or was it semi auto?
