A homeowner sporting a Game of Thrones T-Shirt and brandished with a medieval sword says that he could have taken the life of an intruder who entered his home but that he is a Christian and doesn't believe in killing.
Thomas McGowan, 25, broke into the Wichita Falls, Texas home of Jimmy Morgan Jr. at midnight on Tuesday but retreated with terror leaving splatters of blood on the wall after Morgan Jr. whipped out a medieval sword and told him to get lost.
McGowan broke into Morgan Jr.'s home to hide from police after crashing his car during a police chase.

Morgan Jr. had the intruder cornered the other night and easily could have killed him but he says he is a religious and moral man who doesn't believe in taking someone's life.
'I am a Christian man and I don't want to take life, however I want to make sure that he understands that his life was mine to take. I let him have it.'

I have trained with the SCA ... likely he would know how to use the sword in that case.
Yes, killing and murdering are two different things.
It's pretty good and keeps you interested. Just understand that, like most of the HBO series, it does have a lot of nudity - gives a sense of what reality was like, but could be offensive to some.
Being a Christian and not believing in killing are also two distinctly different beliefs.
Don’t forget the tomahawk.
