Guys come on, a fucking kid was murdered. At least try to be respectful.
I don’t want to undercut the tragedy of lost life here, but I pity people doing HEMA fencing or similar hobbies in UK.
As I understand it the government was already stupid about some anti-sword/knife laws and this won’t help…
Swords are already pretty regulated in the UK last I learnt about this topic. Matt Easton from Schola Gladiatoria has a video on it somewhere
Yeah, Matt Easton is why I know about it. My point being, if they were paranoid about swords before, what will they do now
True
They got the attacker alive at least. He’s in for a bad time.
Good.
King Charles III said his thoughts and prayers were with the family of the young victim, and he saluted the courage of emergency workers, Buckingham Palace said.
“King Charles III” still sounds so weird to me. The last story I ran across with his name in it was about either Ireland or Scotland, I can’t remember which, and it took me longer than I care to admit to realize it wasn’t some sly Jacobite comment.
What the fuck man.

A sword, Mal!
How weird is that?
I haven’t thought of this in ages, thank you.
Oh look! Another mass shooting in Amer-

Removed, civility.
Wooosh!
This many victims they still call a ‘mass’ shooting over here. It gets more clicks and you all buy it because everyone loves a chance to point out what they do better than the big kid in the room.
What kind of sword?
Samurai.
He got it wrong. Kill the father, wound the boy. Then he grows up and hunts you down with a catch phrase he’s prepared for the occasion.
Just ensure you have an odd number of fingers before initiating.
Holds up five fingers
But I already do!
