Aw man! Are you serious? This is exactly why I bought my katana, and it happens to some guy an hour away? Why is my life boring!?! I want to be the amazing bad-ass who kills bad guys with his sword, dammit!
in most if not all states, killing an intruder has no legal consequences, granted they are inside the property...the story is hauntingly familiar to me...I'll leave it there.
Self defense. The student was in the right. With a katana... that's pretty badass, I'm not going to lie.
Samurai sword skills for the win. Intruder had it coming though, the kid told him to leave, the intruder attacked the kid, kid defended self with sword, simple as that.
Since I've been quoted 14 times, I'll just say this.
If a person breaks into your home, you have to use equal or lesser force to bring him down. Even if the guy attacks the boy, an arguement from a lawyer could be made that the intruder himself attacked the boy in defense. Basically, the arguement will be made that since the college student in question did have a weapon, the intruder may have jumped at him in fear.
I said that because the justice system is f-ed up, the kid may actually end up serving jail time.
*goes and sips a mojito*

Sucks to be that guy? I never thought I'd hear a story like this ever. Most people protect themselves with guns nowadays.
That is crazy awesome but not worth life in prison.
Im sure the intruder probably stopped attacking after he lost his hand. And sounds like he was unarmed. That means the whole murder part wasnt even in defense. I think he is screwed.
Poor samurai.

i believe that property rights are just as sacred as life and health. if we dont have the security to know that our hard earned possessions cannot be taken without our permission then we might as well not live because then we turn into rightless sacrificial lambs where another can take whatever they want because they can and because they arent threatening our life.Skeleon said:
Wait, are you saying that you believe human life is worth the same as, say, a CD player?Laxman9292 said:
Actually, it seems more as if you are stating that FEELING secure is equal to saving a life. That's just rediculous.
The kid should get off with some mandatory counseling and possibly community service or a short period of jail time. The proper response would've been to call the police, not go Rambo and attack the guy with a sword. I seriously doubt an unarmed burglar posed much of a threat, especially to someone with a sword.
