The samurai relies on his enemy to die.
Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Baltimore homicide detectives don't believe a Johns Hopkins University student had "the intent to kill" when he used a samurai sword to confront an intruder outside his home, a police spokesman said Thursday

My only question is whether he was channeling Bruce Willis or John Belushi.
Or Tom Cruise.
Here are some crime tweets from the link. Welcome to Baltimore:

The intent to kill anyone who has violently violated your property or self is ALWAYS justified.
Blood on the grass,not on the rug...
And there’s always Melanie Wilkes. I don’t think hers was a samauri, though.
The samurai relies on his enemy to die.
Or The Bride.
“Police say John Pontolillo, 20, a chemistry major from New Jersey, killed the man with a single blow early Tuesday.”
If he wasn’t trying to kill him, it sure was an effective warning.
Should have given the guy a warning shot. Well, OK, maybe only cut off a finger or an ear or something?
Uma Thurman?
So true. Personally I would have used my water gun.
“The intent to kill anyone who has violently violated your property or self is ALWAYS justified.”
_____________
How do you ‘violently violate property’?
Pontolillo swung the sword in one downward stroke toward Rice, hitting him in the upper body and the hand. Rice's left hand was nearly severed, and he bled to death at the scene.
Good for the kid!
And the perp, Rice, is lucky it wasn't my S-I-L with the sword - his head would've been chopped off.
I bought my S-I-L the 'Kill Bill, Bride Sword' for Christmas two years ago, he collects Samurai swords(1). If that sword wasn't so big you could shave with it. I kept telling him, "if you don't like it, I'll take it back - hint-hint." (I gotta get me one)
He knows how to use them too, he took classes.
You may leave now, Grasshopper.
The Philosophy goes like this:
You break in my home and steal Items that took me a portion of my life to earn.
I catch you and take the Remainder of your life in payment.
It’s a fair Transaction.
Time was taken on both sides.
How do you ‘violently violate property’?Easy.
'violently' - by breaking into my car or buildingThat's how.
'violate property' - by trying to take my stuff.
A few years back I almost got into an altercation with three young black thugs in aFood Court. One of them tried to touch my Zippo. I gabbed him by the wrist, looked him in the eye and said: "DON'T touch my stuff!"
The food Court Cleared for ten feet around me, and the three black thugs almost 'sheet'. It was 'prolly' the first time a white person stood up to them. Fricken mutts.
The kid probably told him it was just a flesh wound.
