"Johns Hopkins University student armed with a samurai sword killed an intruder he discovered in his garage."
I just wanna know if he shouted "FATALITY" or "THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE" afterwards.

I follow quite closely all the reports across the country of home invaders being killed, it's on the rise BTW. I have to admit, this one made me chuckle.

Excellent work!

It said his hand was chopped off and there was a deep cut in his chest.
I wonder if that was all from the same strike.
I think this demonstrates the value of agility. Some attack by boss mobs cannot be blocked.
(I know, I'm a bad person.)

Most likely the perp put his arm up in front of him to deflect the blow out of instinct without thinking about the repercussions. The sword most likely sliced right through his hand and gashed his chest. You can easily bleed to death from a severed hand if it's not quickly treated (tourniquet).

I find it funny they dont call it what is really is, a Katana. The problem with Katanas for defense is most ceilings dont have sufficent clearance to excute moves properly, at least for me and I'm 6'3". I'd be just as likely to get it stuck in the ceiling as disemboweling someone or lopping off part of their head/hands.
Re: There can be only one! - Thudz - 09-15-2009
Hey, you can't argue with these results. From all accounts this was a FLAWLESS VICTORY!

Sounds like you need to get 9-12 foot ceilings.
Re: There can be only one! - Moristans - 09-15-2009
Move to a loft. 18 ft ceilings. Enough head room to execute ninja flips for extra points.
Re: There can be only one! - Slamz - 09-15-2009
If he kills another 9 burglars he'll probably make level 2.
Re: There can be only one! - Jakensama - 09-16-2009
Wonder if he got any good drops.
Re: There can be only one! - OrsunVZ - 09-16-2009
Who are you supposed to turn the hand into? And what's the reward?
Re: There can be only one! - Jakensama - 09-16-2009
At least he got the hand on his first kill, I had to kill like 30 multiple felons for one..
Re: There can be only one! - Moristans - 09-16-2009
He soloed the green con burgler Jake. How many CKPs (Criminal Kill Points) did you have to pick up killing red con multiple felons in ghetto raids before you could bid on a hand?
Re: There can be only one! - Thudz - 09-16-2009
This thread has exceeded it's dork level.
ETA : The article didn't say if he enforced Loot and Scoot.
I couldn't resist.
Re: There can be only one! - Hoofhurr - 09-16-2009
He probably lost some durability on the sword but finally some pvp worth fighting for eh? Love that death penalty.
Re: There can be only one! - Jakensama - 09-16-2009
The Robber's family is probably on the message boards right now bitching about how Katanas should be nerfed...
Re: There can be only one! - Thudz - 09-16-2009
I heard there is going to be an emerganecy patch because the homeowner wasn't suppose to be able to get to the boss mob without clearing the yard trash.
Re: There can be only one! - Skaag - 09-16-2009
Does the report state how many tokens he received? I really could use some new shoes myself.
Re: There can be only one! - Slamz - 09-16-2009
It is bullshit that a katana can one-shot you, though. I mean you have all these skills and abilities and there's no time to use any of them if you just get one-shotted.

Ah yes, but he left the hand in his bag, and ate it on accident, when he ran out of food.
