"We've arrested him on two different occasions. Once in June where he had another sword, which is in evidence. This is not the same sword. He cut his grandmother on the foot with it that time," Miller said, according to CBS Atlanta.Sounds like the county failed to properly intervene here and put this teenager where he belongs by using the full extent of the law. Is it that hard to keep little scumbags behind bars/glass?
I post this story like I do all the other sword attack stories to point out that despite our advanced society we are not that far separated from history. A sharpened piece of steel is easy to come by, and can inflict fatal wounds without the need to reload.

i think they still teach bayonet manipulation and tactics for the USMC for exactly that reason. as a matter of fact i read a story not too long ago about royal marines having to fix bayonets and do battle with them in durkadurkastan.

chrome plated balls on those dudes
I was under the impression that bayonet tactics were no longer taught in the US military.
the army doesn't bother with it anymore i believe. pretty sure the marines still do though, they're the ones who do all the up close and personal "negotiations"
Still taught in the Marines, as far as I know. Some of my buddies in OEF in 03 were ordered to fix bayonets after they had just crossed the Kuwaiti border into Iraq, and a sandstorm blackened things out. They dug in and waited, with visibility limited to 3 feet or less.
