Doesn't make him gay, but...does raise certain...questions.

[WestVirginiaRebel]

Samurai Jack?

[gotribe]

The guy's watched Kill Bill too many times.

[WestVirginiaRebel]

I think Superman decided he shouldn't interfere in human destiny too much or something like that. It would be too easy for him with his powers to become a dictator himself.

[tgusa]

Moral: don't bring hammer, knives or chains to a sword fight. Or for that matter, to a gun fight.

[Stonewall Jackson]

Whatever you do, don't say this to Green Arrow, Green Lantern, Hawkman, Flash, Aquaman, Wildcat, Wonder Woman, Sandman, Starman, Damage, Stargirl, Nightwing, Starfire, or any of their non-caped superhero brethren.

They might have to hurt you.

Now if I was one of these two unarmed cops, and this samurai guy saved my partner and I, there's no way I would arrest him for having a sword.

After words of words of gratitude, I would advise him to disappear before any backup cops (who may arrest him) arrive.

IMHO, A very likely scenario in this case.

Oddly enough it's very easy to buy a Samurai sword in Britain. Nor is there a legal issue in owning one. This is the reason why home-defence and vigilante cases in the UK often resemble scenes from "Kill Bill"

Britain is the new Water Margin: no guns, but loads of cool martial arts!

It's no big deal unless he were blind. Then I'm impressed.

[Squeako]

Has anyone pinged that Freeper who was into swords? Speed addict or something? He said he was a felon who couldn't own guns, but was into martial arts. He said the time it takes to cross a room with a sword is just a fraction of what it would take to draw a gun and fire.

Anyone know who he is?

[M1thumb]

He must have been out murdering or robbing and just popped in for some action because weapons are inherently evil and have no place in civilized society.

[SolidWood]

Ha! You guys have to see this Superman comic from 1940:

This was before Hitler invaded the Soviet-Union, and therefore Superman ARRESTS both Hitler and Stalin!

[Charles Martel]

Sounds as though Sean Connery kept a souvenir from the Highlander set, eh?

[Blue Jays]

Hi Squeako-

Your intended pingee has been pinged. Ane he is a big motorcycle fan, too!

[Squeako]

Looks like he got zotted. I Googled what I thought was his username (since there appeared to be none with the name I could find) and found a thread at ConservativeUnderground.

One quote was, "Because it came after he was called out and banned by Jim Robinson himself at FreeRepublic. I swear you guys are sounding like the DUmmies protecting their precious Will Pitt.".

So, I searched for the one you mentioned and followed a couple of posts. It appears to be the same guy. Zotted.

[Blue Jays]

Oops, I hate when that happens!

[Alouette]

if he didn't have a cape then he isn't a superhero. That's the rules.

Only supervillains have capes. Capes are vanity and fashion statements and endup getting sucked into a jet engine or caught on the rotors of a helicopter.

[LZ_Bayonet]

"After words of words of gratitude, I would advise him to disappear before any backup cops (who may arrest him) arrive."

Agree, but let's act like their supervisors and avoid asking the cops if that happened.

[BuffaloJack]

Spiderman incognito.

[Bender2]

Just doing my job!...

You... got a problem with that?
