Here you go! Always fun to talk shop with a fellow enthusiast who can appreciate the build of a fine weapon... However I must admit that this one is decorative, only. Not full tang, but I liked the ninja-esgue look of it when I first started collecting.
The hand guard/ tsuba has an insect design which I liked and the red/black color scheme sealed the deal, lol.

It's very clean. I have a few that are decorative as well. Nothing wrong with that!

I'm still trying to figure out where that occurred. I thought I heard Canadian accents?!?

You know what's really, really bothering me? The situation in New York where the 61 year old man is being charged for stabbing the black male (…multiple felon/paroled) who was attacking him in his bodega. That is an open & shut self-defense case. New York is as screwed up as California.

Did you read the entire story? It's really screwed up. There is a video which shows the dirt bag's girl friend stabbing the worker but she didn't get arrested!

Crime is off the charts here. I think it's worse now than what it was back in the late 70s early 80s. And if arrested, they are out before the police finish writing their reports. And here we have some poor guy trying to defend himself and the jerk DA presses murder charges and $500K bail? Seriously?

Wow! I didn't realize she had stabbed him. Both of those "patrons" are/were pieces of filth. The D.A. is right up there with them. I can't see how this even makes it to trial.

You're likely right.

As I watch the video again, I'm beginning to wonder if a couple of those males were trying to show off for the women, and unfortunately it just didn't work out too well for one of them. Such a huge lack of situational awareness.

We have a different standard of self-defense here.....

Hopefully your state doesn't waver. The problem here are the D.A.'s trying to make political statements rather than utilizing the law as intended. It's crazy here! The same crime committed in neighboring counties is handled two different ways. In Los Angeles County, criminals receive a pass. In Orange County, criminals get jail time.

Each one of the five burros (sic) in NYC has their own DA, and some have the same California attitudes about prosecuting.

From what I've read and the short video clip on the TV news obviously cropped to support the victim, the attacker was merely arguing with the store clerk because his girlfriend's card was declined. He was behind the counter in the store clerk's work space and blocking his exit, but the only thing that I saw in the video was a shove of the clerk before the clerk went lethal with the impromptu box cutter. We are not a "stand your ground" state.

Per the noon TV news, the DA has made a statement after meeting with a bodega-owner's association that he is watching his office's investigation for now. and will make a determination once that is completed. I doubt that they will be throwing the store clerk a ticker tape parade, but I don't think that he's going to walk free.....

In other news…..



….we had a string of 7-11 robberies on 7/11/22. The suspect robbed 6 or 7 stores in So.Cal, killing and injuring multiple people in the process.

Has anybody been following what's going on in Sri Lanka? Riots everywhere……the entire country in a state of disruption (…from food shortages caused by the banning of chemical fertilizers, etc.). I imagine their law enforcement departments have thrown their hands up in the air.

I heard on the news this morning that some of these stores are considering closing due to the constant robberies. Pretty sad and very screwed up.

Massive demonstrations in Holland and Germany by farmers protesting green initiatives reducing use of fertilizer.

I got a chuckle out of yesterday's announcement that Starbucks was closing 16 stores because of frequent drug use by customers. Looking at the list, a half dozen of those stores are in Hollywood/Los Angeles!!!!!

• Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street, Hollywood
  
• Santa Monica Boulevard and Westmount Drive, West Hollywood
  
• 1st and Los Angeles streets (inside the DoubleTree hotel), Los Angeles
  
• Hollywood Boulevard and Western Avenue, Los Angeles
  
• Ocean Front Walk and Moss Avenue, Santa Monica
  
• 2nd and San Pedro streets, downtown Los Angeles

They should put Pepsi on the menu instead of “coke” - problem solved!
