I thought we solved this issue for good when Tom Cruise made it abundantly clear that he was the Last Samurai.
Why are you so quick to side with the robber?
It's interesting that the article says the student killed the man with only one strike of the sword but yet the victim had "a nearly severed hand and a laceration to his upper body."
His hand was either severed when he lunged or he held up his hand to fend off the sword.
we don't know what happened
burglars typically flee, they don't lunge towards people with swords
but if I had to speculate, I would say the guy killed a defenseless man that put up his hand to block the sword
2.) student was blocking the exit armed with a sword, and had called the police beforehand, the thief may or may not know this
The Johns Hopkins University undergraduate didn't run. He didn't call the police. He grabbed his samurai sword.
5.) the thief is caught and trapped by a person wielding a sword, he may or may not know if the police are coming, yet he still makes some kind of move towards the student, instead of just giving up "ok im caught", that sort of thing. the move might have been just an attempt to escape, or it might have been an offensive move towards the student with unknown intentions.
He did not call the police.
I'm not sure I would qualify this as a "fact". It's a he said/ he said scenario and one is dead. Self defense is a pretty easy defense when one is dead.
you're right, my fault. still, the thief didnt know that one way or another. the situation may have been difused if he had called and told the thief that. and yet, it might've turned more violent. who knows?
There was a similar incident on CSI: Osaka a few weeks ago.
Life always seems to mirror art.
Clearly what happened here:
Guy bought a Samurai sword.
Guy wanted to see if he could kill someone with it.
Guy's playstation is stolen a few weeks ago, and this gives him an idea.
Guy lures life long thief back to his house with promises of sex and money.
Theif takes the bait.
Guy kills thief in cold blood.
Guy will kill again.
And he will get more precise.
More surgical.
He will think he's an artist.
Happens all the time.
Please show me one poster who has sided with the thief.I find it astonishing and appalling how quickly many of you sided with the robber.
When does "robber" = assault?The guy was a repeat offender and clearly could have done harm to the guy.
What the hell kind of world do you live in where you think a confrontation with a robber isn't going to end in someone being harmed?
I find it astonishing and appalling how quickly many of you sided with the robber.
I read the article.
It sounds like the dead man has been a thief most of his life.
It also sounds like the student was in no real danger of bodily harm. That he chose to kill this man to prevent him from stealing from him. Or more likely fleeing.
Do shop owners have a right to kill shop lifters?
I imagine there are few in here reading this that a one time or another lifted a couple of things.
