Interestingly enough, Maryland has statues related to ‘Star Knife’ and “Nunchaku” but not Swords.

Our legal system is so compromised by democrats who LIVE to defend criminals - that we cheer this death. None of us care about the criminal, but the young student will have to deal with this emotionally - being in a liberal environment where his teachers will side with the criminal.

Burglars had already stolen two laptops and a Sony PlayStation from the student's home Monday

Your crackhead intruder kung fu is no match for pissed off vengeful student kung fu.

I wonder if it was a real WW-II souvenier samurai sword or a copy? Almost all the samurai swords in Japan were confiscated from officers at the end of the war and became souveniers for American officers.

“Bravo!” but I’ll bet the Baltimore DA charges him with failure to obtain a permit for his sword (or something equally stupid).
