Way to go young man.

Arms is arms. Firearms are just one type.

Kudos to the kid. Now he needs to sharpen his sword.

The perp...

[philman_36]

Looks like he "got medieval" on his head to me.

Congress have no power to disarm the militia. Their swords, and every other terrible implement of the soldier, are the birth-right of an American ... the unlimited power of the sword is not in the hands of either the federal or state governments, but, where I trust in God it will ever remain, in the hands of the people.

I love swords, but only "real" swords. I can't justify the expense with my budget balanced the way it is.

Here's one that's on my wish list:

Sounds like a crappy sword.
A ball bat would have worked as well.

Oh well. Kudos to the kid for busting up the perp.

The perp is Jeremy WAYNE Olson. Future serial killer?

I love John Wayne, but it doesn’t seem to be a good middle name to give your kid.

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.

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.

[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.

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.

[Ole Okie]

Hah! Missed me!

Wait till you tries to waggle yo’ head.

[VA Voter]

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?

[Morgana]

Sword PING!!

[SIDENET]

He should have just broken out the throwing stars.

[Dr.Zoidberg]

The 2nd Amendment isn’t just about Firearms.

Supporters of the right to keep and bear should be just as adamant about knives and swords as they are about firearms.

Good job on the teen for fighting back with what he had at hand!
