You statistically have a better chance living after being shot than being assaulted with a knife, I imagine a sword attack would be far higher.

I wonder what the perp thought while he lay there bleeding to death, “A sword?? WTF, that’s not fair...”

“The men refused to comment when approached by an Associated Press reporter.”

Smart.

PS There can be only ONE!

Guglielmi said the man had been arrested on charges such as burglary several times before, and had been released Saturday from a Baltimore County jail.
Police are interviewing the student and his roommates, and are talking to prosecutors about whether to file charges.

File charges? For what? Failure to let yourself be robbed?

The student defended himself with the sword, cutting off the man's hand and causing a severe laceration to his upper body, he said.

Dang.

Apparently, that sword is sharp.

From the article: “the man had been arrested on charges such as burglary several times before.”

Ending career criminals, one perp at a time!

If I am willing to risk my life on Houston Freeways to earn my living, then the perps better understand they are risking their lives by trying to take what I EARNED and PAID for, for my use.

I believe the legal term is “Unlawful interference with involuntary wealth redistribution”.

KIDS MAYBE WAKNG UP!

our daughter is just completing a CTY course there. Now I see why there was a delay in her getting back to us about her final. I’m sure there was allot of commotion on campus.

The unconscious troll cannot defend himself: he dies.
