PARIS, July 18, 2006 (AFP) - A Paris judge has been sent to a psychiatric hospital after going on a drunken rampage with a Masonic sword, legal sources said on Tuesday. Police were called to the home of Philippe Bonnet of the Paris appeals court after a guest staying there alerted them to his unusual behaviour. He attacked the two officers with the sword, slightly injuring one, before being overpowered with a flash-ball, a non-lethal weapon used by French police. He was then taken to a psychiatric hospital. Two weeks previously, the judge had threatened his host with the weapon during a party he attended. He was placed under judicial investigation and given a conditional release. A legal source said the chief prosecutor for Paris had since launched disciplinary procedures to have the judge temporarily suspended.
Paging Dan Brown, paging Dan Brown...
Reminds me of George Michael, except he uses a car.
This thread needs video. I wanna see the masonic sword versus flash-ball death fight...
We give up! We give up!
The report is in error: He must have immediately thrown the sword down when confronted by any kind of armed opposition at all.
At least he didn't just surrender. I think this is a good thing for the French.
They stick with wholesome penis pumps.
He thought he was fighting Global Warming.
And how is this different from any other day in France?
Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball.
Is a Masonic Sword a +3 weapon or +4? Did he get additional attacking power by using his potion?
sorry..had too..
New headline:"Last French Man arrested, went down swinging, authorities used Fireball"
What is a FLASH BALL?........
Heads up for the Masonic Summer Offensive.
"What is a FLASH BALL?......."
I'm assuming that the name gives a reasonable definition of what it does!
