[QUOTE="Arkhandus, post: 3016498, member: 13966"] This is cool. Souvenir katana (and angry defense of home and life; never discount a man's drive to fight for survival) saves the day! Sure, they might not've gotten hurt if they just let the stupid jerks take their stuff, but I'd have done the same thing they did; make those jerkwads pay for trying to steal someone's hard-earned property and/or livelihood, and for threatening their lives in the process. I'd damned well have taught them a lesson about respect for other peoples' lives and property, same as these guys did. A lesson with lots of blood and screams on the criminals' part, and probably some broken fingers or arms involved (or severed fingers and toes). Because people like that NEVER learn without being taught the error of their ways through violence. Violent people just won't learn if not given violent reprisal. I never got bullies to leave me alone except by beating some respect and fear into them with my bare hands and feet. Getting humiliated in front of peers by a short, quiet kid in glasses, the class scapegoat, is never good for one's pride and arrogance. I never saw hide nor hair of those jerks again, and never heard any of my friends grumble about being harassed by them again. I'm pretty timid by nature, but I get really riled up and berserk when someone threatens me in all seriousness (not just normal, stupid jerk/bully threats). Getting beaten up when trying to intimidate or beat up someone else is, really, the most direct and effective lesson in not trying to do that ever again. I'm sure those attempted burglars will probably never try anything so brash again, now having experienced just how crazy and dangerous people can be when acting in defense of friends and self. Now they'll probably worry that any random person they try to rob could very well have a gun or other weapon and be entirely ready to use it, and they'll likely be scared as hell even when just thinking about trying to rob someone again. Getting a sword swung at them in a real fight, or a gun pointed at them in a real fight, will put the fear of death into them and make them much less likely to try something so stupid again. [/QUOTE]
