Man Robs Convenience Stores With Klingon "Batleth"

[The Last Legionary]

Pulling your phaser out in public can get you an indecent exposure charge in some counties you know.

I suspect the robber thinks that he has some great skill in the Batleh, much like how some of these swordlike object-swinging manaics think of themselves as great warriors...

There was an incident in Florida about a decade ago, where a pawn shop owner refused to sell a .357 magnum to a crazy-looking fellow. That guy then claimed that he was a master ninja, and assaulted the store owner with a stainless steel ninja-to...

The results weren't pretty. Poor Dave got a couple of feet of steel crammed into his gut, but was able to finish off the lunatic with several shots from his .25 ACP Beretta.

Found another article related... with picture... Looking at it... all blurry... I think the clerk mis-identified the weapon. Don't look like no Klingon weapon I've ever seen. Hmmph! <scorn> Wanna be fan.

I think 7-Eleven should require all clerks to keep Tribbles behind the counter, in case of future attempts.

No, it does look like a batleth, though it looks like he's holding it wrong.....

 

[Carol]

Looks too small to be a Batleh.

 

[Kreth]

It's probably one of them sawed-off assault betleHs... :lol:

Never insult the size of a True Klingons Weapon! That's a strike against his Honor!

LOL!

Given that it's fictional, who knows?

The weapon will get its first ever combat test when he encounters a clerk with a Terran baseball bat...

Well now, this reminds me of all the times someone tries to commit assault with a stainless steel ninja-to, and the press sensationalizes is, calling it a "razor sharp samurai sword!"

I get doctors ok, we can try padded versions in the summer.

It's not polite to make remarks about the size of a man's Batleth. I'm sure that with proper technique even a very modest one could achieve enough penetration.

Is it OK if I just cork the bat?

 

[Bob Hubbard]

ok, long as I just put those little plastic thingies on the tips.....

 

[Guardian]

He's gotten lucky, he'll run out of it soon and meet that one with a gun. He's got some guts though no matter how insane.

 

[arnisador]

They did a bit on him on SNL last night too...
