[DontShootMe]

Interesting article...

Edited because I thought it was the UK...

[El Tejon]

Always down on my people.:p Once again, we are innocent and unjustly accused. I demand a check--a big one! Enough to get down to Tejas for a few classes!

BTW, when did the UK invade and conquer Italy???:confused:

No mention of the style. I think there's a big mantis boxing school there?

Oh, BTW, Problem #2 exists in the USA. It is not the sole product of the eeevil El Tejon. In solving Problem #1 you are taking the life of a fellow human being. Do not be surprised if the po-po do not see it as you do, even in Tejas where you can shoot anyone for anything.:rolleyes:

El Tejon, as a 5th gen NATIVE Texan I beg to differ with your statement about being able to shoot anything in Tejas.
You have to have a GOOD reason, like, ah say, "He NEEDED shootin' "

[El Tejon]

Holly, thanks, I was being tongue-in-cheek, or just plain sarcastic.:p

[Holly76201]

El T,
Sorry , my bad. It's hard to read sarcasm in these posts sometimes. And I'm relatively new and still learning personalities.
But still, I've met lots of creatures walkin' on 2 legs who just "need" killin'.

Investigators are trying to determine whether he inflicted the injuries while defending himself inside the apartment, or hunted down the burglars after they had fled.
Uhh... there's this ultra-modern far-western investigation technique called forensics. What about blood trails and blood pooling? Are they saying there's no blood trail out into the street?

At this point the doctor managed to free himself, seize a knife from one of the aggressors and deliver a series of lethal stab wounds.

"The doctor"? Ha! Time to take your medicine, boys . . .

[mussi]

There was a case in Austria 20 years back where a practitioner of Iai-do cut an armed burglar in two with a Katana. Must have been pretty graphic....

But more power to this 'doctor' for he heals the society's illnesses..

[Balog]

That's awesome!

[Standing Wolf]

A Chinese martial arts expert was in custody yesterday after turning the tables on four burglars armed with knives, killing two of them and seriously wounding a third.

Give the man a medal, not hand cuffs!

[KC]

See, this is why we need to restrict books and register knives! Information is dangerous! That person must have spent years learning to kill. (We should track down her teacher and fellow cultists...er, students, and force them into sensitivity training classes.) And those poor burgulars, I'll bet they were never even given an opportunity to surrender or run away before that evil 'doctor' person (an incarnate perversion of everything Doctors stand for!) launched an unwarranted and unnecessarily visious attack on those economically disadvantaged persons. Why, if this had happened in the UK, both those women would be in prison already, and their assets siezed and distributed to their victims.











(Whew, I feel better. Sarcasm can be so liberating.)

[C.R.Sam]

The defensive strokes were delivered with surgical precision.

May his court journey be a gentle as possible.

Holly, no problem. The sarcasm traces itself back to El Tejon's many battles with the Batmen of TFL/THR who feel that carrying a pistol gives them a halo effect and Problem #2 will not be a problem for the Warrior Princes of the gun store. In fact, I've been accused of making Problem #2 up out of whole cloth as Problem #2 never happens in _______ [just like no one dies of cancer since I don't know anyone who has].

I printed this article out and showed it to a member of my kwoon who is from Italy. He did not know the person (his brother called him about it), but that area where this transpired has many different schools and is known for martial arts training.

He also reported that being arrested is par for the course in Italy when any sort of violence, offensive or in self-defence, is involved. Apparently policia procedure is to arrest everyone and let the investigating judge sort it out.
