• Mormon Bishop confronts assaulter with Samurai sword

[quote] An LDS Bishop with a samurai sword was one of several neighbors who came to a woman’s aide after a man assaulted her and tried to get into her home on Tuesday morning. Hoyal said 37-year-old Grant Eggertsen assaulted a 35-year-old female victim and tried to get inside her home as she was leaving. Hoyal said the two had a professional relationship in the past, and when that deteriorated the victim had obtained a stalking injunction against Eggertsen. Several neighbors heard the noise and came outside and confronted Eggertsen. One of those neighbors was Kent Hendrix, who is a bishop with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and a black belt in karate. Hendrix came outside with a samurai sword, and he wielded the weapon while he and other neighbors confronted and then chased Eggertsen away. Eggertsen ran to his car and drove off. “As he was coming through the fence, this is where I drew down on him and told him to get down on the ground,” Hendrix said. ”His eyes just got huge and he was taken aback that he was staring down 29 inches of razor.” Hendrix has studied martial arts for decades and owns his own academy. He says he’s thrilled to use his training for good. “I’ve never had to use my martial arts until today, in anger, happy things worked out well,” he said. Eggertsen turned himself in within an hour of the incident. He was charged with violation of a stalking injunction, trespassing, attempted burglary and robbery. The victim had minor injuries from the assault, and she refused medical treatment at the scene of the incident.

This happened about 15 miles away from me. Hilarious.
[QUOTE]”His eyes just got huge and he was taken aback that he was staring down 29 inches of razor.”[/QUOTE] This quote is hilarious.
holy shit i live in the area
So he's basically a Samurai Paladin? That's pretty badass.
That's a distinctly unchristian weapon. I would've expected a weapon that originates much closer to Europe.
Did he say this before he attacked? [video=youtube;VYvqOfrs6CA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYvqOfrs6CA[/video]

Holy shit that name. Kent Hendrix, Samurai bishop.

That's awesome! Too bad if someone were to do the exact same act in Canada(at-least where I am), they could face charges for dangerous weapon and etc even if lives were saved, the person could still get charged here...
Secretly Mormons are ninjas.
[QUOTE=Ray-The-Sun;40395420]That's a distinctly unchristian weapon. I would've expected a weapon that originates much closer to Europe.[/QUOTE] Are there even licenses for wielding a mace in America? 'cause that's what the old priests used to wield apparently; priests could spill no blood, thus they could not use weapons that could potentially shed blood like a sword or an axe, so the mace became the weapon of choice for medieval priests since it was effective at bashing people on the head and didn't normally spill blood. Still, a bishop moving in with a samurai sword (was it a katana or a variant?) is pretty neat.

A monk with a katana eh ? [t]http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130101181655/elderscrolls/images/b/b1/Jauffre.png[/t]
[QUOTE=Hidole555;40403296]Reminds me of those two Australians who got into a fight where one was wielding a katana while the other had a chainsaw.[/QUOTE] Who won?
[QUOTE=Solomon;40403357]Who won?[/QUOTE] The chainsaw man lost a finger but he almost severed the arm of katana man. In terms of damage, you could argue the chainsaw man won BUT he went over to the katana man's house and started the fight, so it's very likely that in the ensuing legal proceedings the katana man won in the end.
