Police have arrested a 16-year-old after a samurai sword attack nearly severed a man's hand outside a Palmerston North party.
It might be, but one on one, I think I'd take the Katana over the Parker. Besides, you still need a hand to write with. You can't counter attack with a long essay if your hand has been severed.
Ever since Antonie Dixon sliced his way to infamy, it seems the Katana has been more prevalent in the news. Was it "Kill Bill", "The Last Samurai" or "Teen Age Mutant Ninja Turtles" that have inspired the new Ronin?
Do we ban the Turtles or Crush the Sword? Maybe we just ban parties? Do we put him in jail or give him community service as a vegetable slicer in a soup kitchen? Perhaps if happy drugs were legalized everyone would be too smashed to fight?
Either way, I'd prefer to be attacked with a Parker
