I have a Spanish ceremonial sword
and the dress sword my great-grandfather wore to the coronation of George V. I also have a trio of African spears and some gold Bruce Lee nunchaku. My brother has a flintlock pistol and some excellent swords and daggers.

once beheaded a pimp from Huddersfield with a samurai sword.

These fellows
were sat in their flat getting high when they hear a terrible commotion outside. They went to see what the bother was, to find this horrible little man savagely beating a woman outside their door.

They remonstrated with him, at which point he pulled out a rather knackered looking little pistol. Whilst this was going on, one fo the chaps slipped back inside and retrieved a rather lovely (but non-ornamental) Japanese sword he’s inherited from his RAF commander father. A scuffle ensued, resulting in the stabbing and disarming of the pimp – they finished him off by cutting his head off and throwing body, head and sword down a nearby rubbish chute.

The police told them they weren’t really looking for whoever did it. The owner of the sword is now a top aviation lawyer.


EDIT. I am not endorsing this conduct, by the way...

"a rather knackered looking little pistol" - I doubt thats the first thought I'd have if someone pulled a pistol on me...

"they finished him off by cutting his head off and throwing body, head and sword down a nearby rubbish chute" - a "nearby rubbish chute" outside? Is this street like the Death Star, with convenient rubbish chutes all over

"The police told them they weren’t really looking for whoever did it." - The police are never interested in solving crimes that could be ninja-related, right?

Because they were drugged up psychopaths.

EDIT I think the adrenalin just kicked in. Having someone threaten to shoot one might make the old survival instincts kick in hard, I would imagine.

The woman they saved was rather pleased with them, and the police were clearly rather pleased that 'someone' had removed this man, too.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 12 Oct 2010, 12:43, Reply)

that doesn't make it right though
I don't agree with capital punishment at all. I certainly don't think it should be meted out by pyschopaths with swords.

( The Light in Chains don't touch the Pope's boner, Tue 12 Oct 2010, 12:58, Reply)

Capital punishment
is meted out by the state. Regardless of my views on it, that makes it legal (when done within the framework of the law.) Beheading someone for whatever reason is a criminal act of violence that deserves punishment

( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Tue 12 Oct 2010, 13:07, Reply)

I think
the supposed ‘sanctity of human life’ idea is a load of old bollocks. Some people are cunts and they deserve to die. I would have no compunction whatsoever were I to personally execute the piece of shit that ruined my sister’s life. Literally none whatsoever. But then again, hey – military family. My family have been killing people in cold blood for generations
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 12 Oct 2010, 13:18, Reply)

That's not the point I made
some people should die. But by no conceivable measure should that be left to the discretion of the average person. Yeah that man was scum (the pimp chap) but that doesn't carry a tag of 'acceptable to murder.' Nothing to do with military. You can make an executive decision to kill someone if you want. But you can also face the music that comes with it

having been linked from talk, and I have no idea who Monty Boyce is, or if he is a current user anymore, so I have no axe to grind with him (her?).

People love watching decapitations in the middle of a sreet, and obviously everyone was perfectly happy just killing someone cold bloodedly... Hysterical.

Time off for good behaviour, I think.
The bride had apparently backed out of an arranged marriage to one of his family, he blamed whichever relative had been doing the arranging so he just popped into the wedding ceremony with a sword. Fine and upstanding citizen apart from that.
