Roadrage - Man Pulls Sword On Other Driver - Slices His Tires

[matcom]

<snip>

NASHUA, N.H. -- A man is accused of defending his driving skills by pulling out a sword and popping a tire on another man's car.

Charles O'Neil, 36, was driving slowly on the Henri Burque Highway last Sunday when someone driving behind him became annoyed, honked his horn and passed him, police said.

When both vehicles stopped at a light, the two drivers got out and started an argument that ended with O'Neil allegedly pulled out a broadsword with a blade more than three feet long and telling the other driver, "I ought to run you through with this."

Police said O'Neil also pierced the other car's tires and then drove off.

He's been charged with criminal threatening and criminal mischief

been legal.

7. Beware of little old men walking with canes.

Last week, I witnessed a little old man produce a sword from his walking cane after an argument over a parking spot had already ended. Fortunately, the other driver had already backed down and departed the area when someone asked the little old man what he would have done if push came to shove, he smiled and pulled a two foot sword out of his cane.

instead of keeping my tire wrench by my console, I'll get one of my husbands kitanas. Wonder if this is illegal (probably).

Even though that's fucking cool, he's giving us sword enthusiasts a bad name.

15. I wonder if he had a big bowie knife attached to the front of his car, as

in the best car race movie ever

Death Race 2000

23. I resemble that remark

Right now I have about 35 pieces of varying types, Western and Eastern...
Including a wakazishi under the front seat of my truck. I always wondered of a blade would cut through a tire.
