A man defended his home from four armed burglars by hacking pieces out of them with a Samurai sword.

Dias Costa, 49, slashed the face, arms, and necks of the raiders, who fled the property in a getaway car while dripping with blood.

The burglary took place late at night in the Cerro Norte neighbourhood of Cordoba, in central Argentina - and all of the men are currently in intensive care.

A brave man with a sword is obviously better than 4 cowards with guns.

I concur. Nobody expects a sword, eh? Surprise !

As far as his lack of proper training, I'd say he made up for it with enthusiasm.

I once read that, in the hands of someone who knows what they’re doing, that the Katana is the most efficient, close in defensive weapon ever designed.

Only if the attackers don’t have guns.

Yes, foreigners, we all have machine guns and will shoot anyone who looks at our houses.


I use giant teflon coated exploding bullets that contain angry flying sharks.

Sometimes we throw parties and everybody fires wildly in the air and then we drunkenly dodge the sharks.

Did you see this guy?

"Hard to kill" as long as he has fast first-world medical care, paid for by others. If this was back in his barrio in Tegucigalpa or whereever, he'd be a corpse already.

Lt. John Tueller would have warned the criminals that it’s okay to bring a knife to a gunfight if the range is under 21 feet. I’m glad they got the chance to learn by doing instead.

The katana works well for all kinds of offenses, but is perhaps best suited for a slashing attack, which of course can don immense damage while minimizing the change of getting “stuck.”

Yikes... I’m not a Doctor, but... I think I’ve spotted the problem.

Gots to be careful when picking you nose with a knife, lest someone bump your elbow, jokingly.

Lee, the young burglar killed by Kaarma was actually a turk residing in Germany. He may have even been born there.

However, Germany does not consider intruders to be German by dint of their birthplace. They still call a spade a spade.

Thus, the MSM lied to us. He was not a “German” per se.

I wondered about that. I was actually surprised at all the pretensions of sympathy that this young burglar got. Should have guessed he was one of the ‘protected classes’. Strangely enough, so too is the homeowner. I think Kaarma is Indian or Paki, but on the chessboard of political correctness, one type of ‘asian’ can out-trump another type.

Actually, Kaarma is either Norwegian and/or Saami.

His ethnicity is thus northern European, but as we all know, those Saaami folks are genetically related to Hungarians and thus the Huns, so he has a sorta squinty, non-Aryan look about his face.

But yeah, the MSM used political correctness to mislead the public. In Germany, they called the deceased a turk. Here we must call him a German due to our PC rules.
