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.
He should be glad he didn't stick around. It's the UK. He would have been arrested for being a 'vigilante' and defending others with a weapon.
So what about Spiderman then?
Your right.
I think it's pretty much against the law to have anything larger and sharper than a butter knife.
They actually and knife turn in. *Chuckles*
Exactly, and they would throw the book at him. I am amazed the perps were not literally cut to pieces.
'They actually and knife turn in' er 'had'
A somewhat misguided person in funny red tights, but a Superhero, come on.
Sure it wasn't Zorro? Check this criminal and see if where he was struck on the arm resembles the letter "Z".
Spiderman is gay.
After he turned down the name "The Human Spider" it was downhill for him. He must be a crook. Why else would the police always want to arrest him. They don't try to arrest Batman or Superman do they?
Superman on the otherhand had a cape but was no Superhero in my book. How can someone with such Omnipotent powers be so parochial and display such a lack of scope.
A self proclaimed protector of the weak who stop muggers in Metropolis but sits idly by while tyrannical dictators kill thousands in the third world and famine wreaks havoc.
most superheros dissed the cape in the early 1990s due to it getting caught during various do-gooding.
i think this was an incident involving the return of "weedhopper."
LOL to both burzum and Dave Elias.
Sounds like the police need to start bringing guns to those knife fights so they won't need a good samaritan to come to the rescue with what is probably an "illegal" weapon.
You obviously haven't seen "The incredibles." NO CAPES!
How come Spiderman got to cherry-pick the best attributes of an arachnid whilst bypassing the propensity to get stuck in baths and curl up into a pathetic ball when frightened?
I don't understand why they don't just pass a law banning criminals.
In the end, there can be only one!
