[MR] Kinda off topic?

To which I also agree. There are consequences to every action - and
not always the ones you'd expect. Perhaps a few more incidents like
this would help to curb criminal activity some. Or not. :)

On the same token, a guy I knew about 15 years ago made national
headlines when he stabbed his brother in law with a "samurai sword"
because the brother in law told him he'd have to leave (he was living
with the brother in law and sister). BIL got a nice trip to the
operating room. Funny thing was, when the case when to court about 6
months later, the BIL said that the guy who stabbed him had "saved his
life" because they found something in surgery that would have killed
him. Welcome to my world, where family sticks together, even after
they try to kill each other with swords. :)

martial training. Then should a courtier skilled in the arts and
sciences know something of the martial arts else the world could think
him nothing but a poncy perfumed fop in lace." - Gaston de M. GD, AT,
