[QUOTE=mysteryman;37340767]I'm curious to know if it was the clerk's own gun that he happened to have been carrying at the time.[/QUOTE]
I bet you it was, and an AK-47 to boot
One less piece of shit in the world, good on you Dairy Queen clerk
why is robert de niro a martial arts instructor?
[QUOTE=simsfreak63;37368198]I've always wondered this....
Down here in Texas, DQ's are referred to as "Texas stop signs", all their add campaigns end with "That's what I like about Texaaas!".
What do they do OUTSIDE of Texas?[/QUOTE]
Advertise food that I've never seen in a DQ once.
[QUOTE=Cone;37343155]fun fact: there was actually gonna be a sword fight there, but Harrison Ford didn't feel well enough to do it so they changed the script.[/QUOTE]
I think I've seen this posted more than the actual clip.
:v:
Huh, funny; this reminds me of the methhead who robbed my Kroger with a knife about a year back. He came in and went up to the self-checkout clerk, a Jamaican guy and held him up. As soon as he left he ran to the Dairy Queen in the same shopping center where police found and arrested him :v:
If it were me (and I had a sword) I would have taken him on in a sword fight, just so he thought he had a fair shot.
And before anyone says anything - I was in the SCA for a while. I know how to handle a sword. Granted, I haven't actually handled one in a while so I'm probably a bit rusty but I know what the fuck I'm doing.
[QUOTE=Griffster26;37340871]It could've been a wakizashi.[/QUOTE]
Or a Dai-Katana.

I see your point, but I do have a bit of an advantage in swords. I can and have in the past handled and used swords. Admittedly, my knowledge is more in European swords, which are made differently from "samurai swords" (katanas, etc), but the general concepts still apply.
Meanwhile, this guy probably bought his blade at the last ComicCon. I'm not sure he even knew exactly what sort of sword he had. So I doubt he'd even hold the thing properly in an actual sword fight.
And all this is me being generous and assuming he was sober. If he was drunk (which is far more likely) then I don't even need to handle the thing proper.

a gun will always beat a sword
sorry bud
I'd like to imagine it was some grizzled hardass, dressed up in the full dairy queen uniform. A Clint Eastwood type character. He's just leaning there on the counter picking his teeth with a toothpick, watching a few kids eat their frozen treats and once again contemplating the shit he saw in 'nam.
Then the guy with the sword would burst in, coked out of his mind and wearing some nice white suit. He starts waving around the katana, yelling things that nobody can understand. Parents clutch their children and everybody is silent as he makes his way towards the counter. Just as he's about to strike the elderly employee the man raises a gun and shoots him twice in the chest. The suited man collapses in a heap and everybody gapes first at the corpse, then at the man working the counter.
Setting the pistol down, the man resumes picking his teeth, glancing upward at the nearest customer only to say; "You know large blizzards only cost a buck more than the mediums today."

I have high hopes this is what actually happend.

I doubt it actually happened anything like that (as awesome as that would be), but I figure once the employee put the pistol down any customers that were in the store at the time would be pretty damn impressed with the guy at least.

or a nodachi. :v:

when we're talking about you ninja sword fighting the fuck out of him it's all good
but once we say a badass instantly shit is too crazy
I read it as in Sword-wielding robot.

that would have been significantly more awesome than just some weaboo in a balaclava
I'd feel bad for the robber if he needed the money to feed himself/his family
Probably not though since he had a katana, which are quite expensive, especially if handmade.

Anyway, relief, not joy.

maybe someone loaned him the katana and he was committing the robbery to pay it off?

For some reason I misread the title as "Sword-wielding robot-"
Yeah someone who most likely didn't any intentions to deliberately harm anyone died! Yeah winner!

He had a sword and was robbing the fucking Dairy Queen. If that's not a threat I don't know what is.
If you're going to waltz into a place demanding money with a weapon, you can't complain when you're shot.

If you don't want to hurt the people you rob, don't bring a weapon.
Course if you do threaten someone with a weapon, it's pretty safe to say they're gonna assume you want to hurt them, and if they have a gun they're gonna shoot your ass for it.

Maybe you should work at Dairy Queen. That way if anyone tries to rob you with a gun, you can use your sword and impress us with your 'SCA' sword skills.
