so people should just be idle when a thief who broke into your house lunges at you? kid was defending himself, probably without intent to kill. i bet he was spooked out of his mind, especially considering he got robbed before in the very same week.

baltimore/JHU is a scary place. i went to a nerd camp at Hopkins in 7th grade and there was a time when a random dude (not a student but just someone from the streets) walked in and sat down in one of the classes. bad security much?

Completely justified murder.

This is why you shouldn't defend yourself with anything that can be used against you. Wow you took out a sword gee you just stabbed yourself.

Laser eyes is the real answer here.

I wish someone I didn't like would break into my house and attack me.

wait, you are seriously saying that the police should press charges? seriously? i can kill a man who intrudes on my NEIGHBORS property. You could sit down in my house, i could tell you to leave (Dont even have too) and if you didn't i could shoot you where you stood (Note, im going to school in canada but im not from here). That man was only defending himself, he was ready to defend himself and his roommates property (Which, by the way had previously been looted mere days before), and when the burglar moved in he struck as he should have. I'm sorry, but that mans time was up years ago. Although i'm not sure about laws in other states/countries, but the if he got close enough to strike him with a sword, clearly the man was attacking or approaching. criminals record speaks for itself, it was only a matter of time before someone caught him and had the balls to do the right thing.

The kid is a university student, pressing charges would possibly ruin his life for doing the right thing. Besides, i believe in any state you can kill someone on your property. And if charges are pressed I will have lost faith in the american penal system. If the days when someone comes on my property without my permission and i cannot defend my family come, I will have lost all faith in the states.

And to the poster who said wth is wrong with this kid, why does he have a samurai sword...

Seriously? you dont know anyone who has baught a katana?

Your seriously posting on team liquid, a site for starcraft, which if you dont know starcraft is heavily populated by Asians(Not to be racist). Most of my friends have samurai swords, although most of them aren't sharpened some of them are. My best friends parents media room has many many masks and other artifacts on the walls along with a mesh of swords and other weapons from there culture.

Burglars had already stolen two laptops and a Sony PlayStation from the student's home Monday, Guglielmi said.

...and that's when he went out and bought the samurai sword. Can you blame the kid?

Sorry but my logic works unless the guy was like 8 feet tall and was built like Eugen Sandow that is excessive force in my rule book the kid is confident enough to slash away at the guy but can't think like listening to the door opening it seeing the thief then running to call the police, it is not up to the kid to confront the thief unless he believes he can control the situation which he obviously could not. Obviously that college education isn't doing much for his critical thinking. #rant rant rant#


If he calls the police - the robber gets away in time, and you lose your shit. Why would you have to see a gun if someone broke into your place to steal your stuff. You take the pussy way out like you're saying, you just lost $50-100 of stuff.

I'd sooner kill the guy who broke into my property in the first place, who most likely wouldn't hesitate to use force against me. That is assuming I had the chance. I might call the police simply out of fear, but just because this kid didn't, doesn't mean he made the wrong choice imo.

He took matters into his own hands by confronting the thief in the first place.
He couldn't like listen to the door and peek inside to see? And he couldn't handle the fucking situation he killed the guy plain and simple,

he didn't have the intention of killing him?

He brought a fucking samurai sword the sword is a weapon only, he didn't bring a hammer or a bat; shit that serves multiple purposes he brought a fucking sword the only object of a sword is to kill shit.

self defense only works when they come to attack you, the guy came to steal not to hurt him physically if the state can't do so call "righteous killings" then you can't either. Ionno if his state banned the death sentence or not but i'll look it up.

What he's too cheap to afford home or renters insurance instead he kills a guy over a few bucks? this was off campus

I thought the robber attacked first? I'm pretty sure u have right to defend yourself, or what can you say about the policemen who shot a kid with a squirtgun thinking it was a gun or the policeman who shot a guy in bronx because they thought he was taking out a weapon even though he was going to take out his id.

He slashed him once. Because he clearly has had expertise in using samurai swords like all college students and knew what type of strike kills and not. And it didn't even kill immediately.

No, he didn't have an intention on killing him, he had the intention to defend himself and his property. This is heavily indicated by the one slash that killed the intruder, You don't think the burglar immediately died do you? he most likely bled for minutes before he finally passed. In medieval times battlefields were strung with cries of the wounded for many hours. These are the laws in the majority of states in the US, the fact that apparently the burglar approached the samurai nerd is defense enough to justify his use of the sword, let alone the fact that the guy was in his house.

The kid put himself in that situation, should i feel sorry for the guy who taunts a man all say long then gets the shit beat out of him, the kid poked the fucking bear when he decided to investigate with a fucking samurai sword. Unless the robber touched him, one can easily argue the robber was heading to the door when he saw a kid with a mother fucking sword barge in which the kid was blocking so the kid killed a man tiring to run away.

It was not a matter of life and death until the kid went into that garage with a sword the robber wasn't armed the kid was.

A fucking gain This was off campus, the kid could easily filled out a police report and collect on his renters or home insurance w.e and get the what 100 hell let's put it at $1000 worth of stuff the burglar could have stole. You have a right to defend yourself, you do not have the right to defend your property the GOVERNMENT defends your property and contracts let them do their job.

There was a string of robberies in the area not a string of robberies following by the robber harming/killing anyone, there is no reason to think the robber would have turned homicidal.

It's not called murder if it's not illegal.
