UK man jailed for four months for carrying 6-inch zelda master sword in public

Video game prop weapons are commonly seen in collections or at conventions. But it's a bad idea to carry around a replica video game weapon that has an actual blade attached to it. Anthony Bray, a resident of Nuneaton in Warwickshire, England discovered this the hard way when police arrested him last month for carrying a replica of Link's Master Sword from The Legend of Zelda.

Via the Warwickshire police, Bray has been sentenced to four months in prison for carrying a bladed article in public. According to the report, Bray was spotted by officers on June 8 with the Master Sword in his hands as he walked down the street. However, it's important to note that this wasn't simply some toy prop. There was a real blade attached on this Master Sword.

Was he trying to prove a point? It might have been a replica, but did the public know it?

My first thoughts are - this derp shoulda known better.

In the UK, yes, this is illegal. He should have known.

That said, it just empowers all of the ‘new natives’ as they’re the only ones carrying. Everyone else is defenseless.

Many wear ceremonial knives that cannot do much. A sikh leader in Wisconsin died defending his congregation with one. Heroic. ut it would bave been better if he had the realthing.

Do you know why Sikhs carry a knife (even ceremonial)? I am ok with it.

Sikhs are expected to embody the qualities of a Sant Sipahi or "saint-soldier", showing no fear on the battlefield and treating defeated enemies humanely. The Bhagat further defines the qualities of a sant sipahi as one who is "truly brave...who fights for the deprived"

I'm going to go ahead and guess Bray is NOT a "migrant", otherwise, he would've been released with no charges, right?

I once went to what is called Court Day in Mt. Sterling, KY where guns and knives are traded openly by street vendors. I saw probably a dozen men openly carrying shotguns, rifles, and knives while I was looking around. It wasn’t the least bit threatening, perhaps because of the benign and relaxed body language.

ONLY four months?

‘Brits’ Rishi and Sadiq need lessons from the U.S. GeStasi re how to handle/torture J6 disobedients.

Disarming the natives, the Brits, is the goal of the commie trash that have been running the Conservatives. Labour will finish the job.

My first thoughts are - UK has become an insane tyranny of karens, and that anybody who would call this man a “derp” is a jackboot-licking sycophant to tyrannical karens.

I think you are all overlooking the fact that it was a Master Sword. Who knows how much damage he could have done with it?
