Mysterious Samurai Saves Police in UK
TV3 News NZ ^ | 16 February 2007

Posted on 01/17/2007 1:22:47 AM PST by burzum

A samurai sword wielding vigilante has come to the rescue of two Police officers when they were attacked by an armed gang in South Shields, England.

A group of men had forced their way into a house and were ransacking the place when passing plain-clothes officers were alerted by a woman inside screaming.

The criminals outnumbered them and were armed with a hammer, knives and chains and attacked the Police officers.

As one of them stabbed at a Policeman with his knife, a mysterious do-gooder appeared from nowhere and attacked him with a samurai sword.

One of the burglars began running away but was stopped by the stranger who struck him on the arm with the sword.

Two of the criminals were arrested, but in true hero style the samurai disappeared before police could speak to him.

A third man was arrested later and two more are still being hunted.

Look at this photo and tell me that they aren't supervillans instead. They were just colloborating with the Syndrome on an even viler plan. Wait and see.

C'mon! Superman kicked Hitler's butt.

Hitler was a piker compared to Stalin. (Although Hitler did better on a day by day bases and gets points on sheer organized murder).

And if you want to go on ratios of Civilians killed to total population; Pol Pot was the Grand Master. (The jury is still out on Rwanda, it may take the prize)

Superman is an American. He can't declare war on his own. Since neither President Roosevelt nor his successors declared war on the USSR he had his hands tied (though I'm sure he still helped out in some covert actions).

Of course he didn't stick around. They throw you in jail for defending yourself with a deadly weapon there. No doubt the sword is "illegal" there too.

No. Apparently the police are trying to hunt him down (whatever that implies).

Oops, I now see your joke.

Anyways, it still stands that they police will probably try to arrest the swordsman for using force against those who were trying to kill or injure cops.

You forgot the Mao.

Your Right.

I can’t say for sure, but I remember a number something like 11 million which would still put him behind Stalin (Between 12 and 18 million depending on who’s counting).

But the numbers of dead in the Cultural Revolution are real uncertain. Moa could be ahead of Stalin
