BALTIMORE (Sept. 15) - A Johns Hopkins University student armed with a samurai sword killed a suspected burglar in a garage behind his off-campus home early Tuesday, hours after someone broke in and stole electronics. Some shocked neighbors said they heard bloodcurdling screams in an area just blocks from the university. Police held the student, a junior chemistry major who turns 21 on Sunday, for several hours, but he was not charged with any crimes Tuesday, police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said. Around 1:20 a.m., the student heard noises behind the home and noticed a door to the garage was open, Guglielmi said. He grabbed the sword and confronted the intruder — identified by police as Donald D. Rice, 49, a habitual offender who had just been released from jail.

A radio report this morning said that the student nearly decapitated the criminal. He got him real good, not just a lucky nicking of the right artery.

You can darn sure guarantee that no criminal-stupid or otherwise-will ever, ever, ever break in to THAT house.
GUARANTEED. That is why defensive, aggressive homeowners armed to the teeth with guns, swords-whatever! are the answer to this problem.

The Popeil Katana...but wait, there’s more....if you buy one Popeil Katana at the regular price, we’ll throw in a second for half price. Plus, if you call right now, we’ll toss in the Popeil Nunchakus, made from authentic Japanese mahogany....
