by AWR HAWKINS11 Oct 2015251 On October 8, an Indianapolis homeowner–who is also a Roller Derby girl–punched an alleged home intruder until she had driven him back into a corner, then drew “a Japanese-style sword” and used to it to keep him subdued until police arrived.
The incident occurred “around midnight.”
According to The Indianapolis Star, 43-year-old Karen Dolley awoke to sounds of someone in her home. When she turned on the lights to investigate police say she saw 30-year-old Jacob Wessel standing in her living room.
Dolley began punching Wessel and opened a near-by drawer to grab a gun, but in the pressure of the moment she opened the wrong drawer and failed to find the firearm. So she grabbed “a Japanese-style sword called ninjato,” which she used to keep the Wessel subdued until police arrived.

If I had, it would have been more, er... Viscera.
Er, visceral.
As it happens there are several swords, a couple of spears and a few hickory staves distributed throughout my house. But there are a few firearms too. I’m all about having options.
My only problem with this story is my nit-pick about yet another Japanese sword... (Sigh). Why, oh why, are people so enamored with these things? Can’t we have at least one good story with a good western longsword? Even one? :-)
After a career in the movies, Dick Lane was an announcer for KTLA for roller derby and boxing.
“Whoa Nellie” was one of his lines.
That was quite the change in climate. What made you decide to leave Saugatuck? Possibly the cold? or all the fags?
LOL
I get pinged to the oddest things.

[FYI, right before I checked in here, I was scoping eBay for a rapier...go figure]
"Richard "Dick" Lane (May 28, 1899 – September 5, 1982) was an American television announcer and actor who made his mark broadcasting wrestling and roller derby shows on KTLA-TV, mainly from the Grand Olympic Auditorium in Los Angeles, California."
"After Lane retired from television full-time in 1972, he accepted few offers for work, but did make a notable cameo appearance in Raquel Welch's film Kansas City Bomber."--wikipedia
Saugatuck is a whole story in itself. We spent the winter there then the factory I worked in closed down and I couldn’t find anything else so we came back to Florida. Sometime on a hunting thread I will tell about my experience with hunters on the road between Saugatuck and Holland.Then there’s Grand Rapids.
He's lucky he wasn't emasculated !
Thanks, I never heard that one before........
LOL! I love it!
Wow she’s hot!
But does she swing her arms?
Your kind of girl, Laz.
Does Indianapolis have any redeeming qualities at all? I’m not saying this as a snob, i just don’t know. I’ve been there a half dozen times to drop loads when I drove trucks, and to see a couple races and the place always gave me the creeps.
The Sister Kenny Clinic was in Indianapolis. A Godsend during the polio epidemics of the forties and early fifties.
