A man defended his home from four armed burglars by hacking pieces out of them with a Samurai sword.

Dias Costa, 49, slashed the face, arms, and necks of the raiders, who fled the property in a getaway car while dripping with blood.

The burglary took place late at night in the Cerro Norte neighbourhood of Cordoba, in central Argentina - and all of the men are currently in intensive care.

That’s a good observation. A sword blade path can create an enormous wound channel. Worse than a bullet in some cases.

A little Kendo goes a long way.

Actually... The term I was looking for was “area denial”. In a confined space a sword makes the whole room a place nobody else wants to be.

It’s just a flesh wound. I’ve had worse.

I notice it’s from the Daily Mail.
In Airstrip One that would get the homeowner arrested.

Clearly, Sr. Costa’s style of martial arts was superior to theirs.

It could have been worse. In Brazil all 4 of them would have “shot” trying to elude police.

In the comments from Nottingham, United Kingdom,

No need for that amount of violence

A brave man with a sword is obviously better than 4 cowards with guns.

I was quite disappointed that there were not pictures of the pieces which had been hacked off of the burglars.

Leaving a few pieces behind would cure them for a good long time...

That’s some mighty fine Saber Rattling. Meanwhile in the U.S.A., a homeowner shoots and kills a man, a young German student who broke into his house. This homeowner is now in prison for the next 20 years. I think the homeowners last name was Karma. Ironic.

Nifty drain tube in ladron’s neck

Hey they got off lucky

They could have been the Essex Boys

Just google Essex Boys autopsy photos

Some strong arm gangster lads decided to extort a mild mannered estate bred gentry man who happened to also import copious amounts of marihuana into southeast England from Holland via aircraft

As severe a consequence case of misjudging gentlemanly manners for weakness as there ever was

Wonder if he used Purdeys...

One man with a sword against four—two armed with pistols. The picture of their getaway car alone speaks volumes. Awesome!

I have a 300 year old blade within reach of of my bed. It’s no fancy looking Samurai sword, but it is one wicked-sharp, perfectly balanced weapon. Actually have half a dozen swords scattered thoughout the house—they are great decor and unobtrusive backups. Most people don’t even notice they are real. LOL
