Why Do They Keep Bringing Swords To Gunfights?

Lancaster, CA

There's a mystique around bladed weapons. Some Zatoichi shit or something. I don't know.

Whatever it is it makes idiots do really stupid things.

And here's the latest.

While L.A. County sheriff's deputies were serving a search warrant at a home in Lancaster looking for narcotics a 68-year-old man came out of a bedroom waving a 4-foot-long sword.

So they shot him.

It's like rock/paper/scissors, folks. Gun beats them all.
