Man from Glasgow goes to assassinate council leader with samurai sword, gets asked to leave politely - Polidicks

Glasgow Sheriff Court heard that Wardrop entered Glasgow City Council headquarters, where there were two receptionists and one member of the public. He asked to speak with Mr Matheson and was asked if he had an appointment to which he replied "justice". 'Just justice' When questioned what he meant he said "just justice". The staff noticed Wardrop was holding a sword in his right hand which was partially covered by his right leg and told him he was not allowed in the building with it. He was asked to leave and made his way to the pavement outside. A worried receptionist followed Wardrop outside who was kneeling down holding the sword with both hands across his body. Mr Findlay said he was asked to hand it over, which he did, and the receptionist put it behind the desk inside. The court heard Wardrop came back into the waiting area and the police were contacted. When they arrived they asked Wardrop about the sword and he said "It was to assassinate the leader of the city chambers".

Sounds like exactly the kind of person who I would expect to own a katana.

and they say chivalry is dead

[QUOTE=ZpankR;46319122]sorry for posting something video game related in a video game forum[/QUOTE] it's cool man. i, too, can only relate to real world events through sick videogame references.

[QUOTE=Dr. Gestapo;46319532]it's cool man. i, too, can only relate to real world events through sick videogame references.[/QUOTE] Imagine trying so hard to be that much of a pretentious dick that you feel the need to dismiss jokes just because they're based on a medium that's popular among a certain community

[QUOTE=Ganerumo;46319466][img]http://puu.sh/coIkc/70715fb5ff.jpg[/img] Yeah you sure do, you fucking [B]nerd[/B][/QUOTE] You come to a forum originating from modifying games, and hope to get support in criticising those who play them.. What a farse!

[QUOTE=Bradyns;46319563]You come to a forum originating from modifying games, and hope to get support in criticising those who play them.. What a farse![/QUOTE] Wasn't criticizing him for playing video games, more like making fun of him for trying to dismiss a video game joke while posting on a video game oriented forum with 3500 hours poured into his three most played games alone.

[QUOTE=Lukeo;46319000]haha nice i love video games[/QUOTE] If you were replying to the usual "War. War never changes." shit (in basically every thread about Ukraine) I'd understand but this was actually funny given the context of the story.

Glasgowned

[QUOTE=Big Dumb American;46319123]Sounds like exactly the kind of person who I would expect to own a katana.[/QUOTE] did he ever think of screaming "NANIIII" like in my chinese mangos

[QUOTE=joshdasmif;46319604]You were too harsh, could of been funny but you can smell the anger off that post[/QUOTE] To be fair to Ganerumo, isn't it sort of the same way they too might behave when it came to some things? It's a simple case of the pot calling the kettle black, nothing more. It is a little harsh in its wording perhaps, I'll own to that much, but frankly everybody gets angry from time to time.

[QUOTE=ZpankR;46318865][img]http://i.imgur.com/p6AfMvp.jpg[/img] "aye"[/QUOTE] Why did you have to make this thread even more awkward by posting this? Anyhose, I can imagine the assassin actually looked similar to that. Video game apparel, ugly ass Katana, a hat.. Probably not a person of color though.

very polite of him

[quote]He asked to speak with Mr Matheson and was asked if he had an appointment to which he replied "justice".[/quote] It's just like one of my japanese animes

[QUOTE=Lukeo;46319000]haha nice i love video games[/QUOTE] Eh, well I mean it's mostly because it's TF2 and a bit shoehorned-in. I think something like Hotline Miami would have been more relevant.

[QUOTE=StrawberryClock;46325541]Eh, well I mean it's mostly because it's TF2 and a bit shoehorned-in. I think something like Hotline Miami would have been more relevant.[/QUOTE] article is about a scottish man with a katana, he posted Demoman (who is scottish) using the half-zatoichi (which is a katana) like what is shoehorned about this and how would hotline miami fit at all [editline]banana[/editline] This whole thread, man. Just... the whole thing.

This derailed fast.

how the fuck can there be this much discussion over the fact that somebody posted a tf2 picture? you people are insane

[QUOTE=joshdasmif;46319604]You were too harsh, could of been funny but you can smell the anger off that post[/QUOTE] Stop being such a wuss. And again, we get it, some can't understand the word "irony" but that's okay! We learn something everyday.
