I guess if you’re going to be a vigilante, then you may as well try to do it with a little style.
The Clifton police in New Jersey recently arrested a couple dudes who were dressed like ninjas and armed with “Asian martial arts weapons” while they were delivering warning letters to drug dealers and users.
It gets better. They claimed to be “Shinobi warriors”, and had knives, throwing stars, swords, nunchucks, and bow and arrows on them. They got charged with weapons possession and one of them was charged with leaving a harassing letter for his ex-girlfriend (if you’re going to be harassing drug dealers, then I guess you might as well get some personal grudges settled at the same time).
The letters stated that the “Shinobi will stop your cruel and sadistic intentions with justified yet, merciful force.” and accused the dealers with having “committed sin of passing impurity” to others and that the “wind guides us to those of impure heart and intent.”
Nerds with weapons. Wow. This could be an extremely entertaining trend. 🙂
And not just nerds with weapons, but nerds with extreme morality on drugs and sin, but not so much the violence….
I was going to go with the stereotypical nerd response of how a group of pirates could SO kick those guys’ asses, but something else just wouldn’t let go of my brain: South Park
I read that and all I could think of was the anime/regular crossover episode with the bad english translation song while they all fought with their county fair ninja weapons.
Jimmy: Wha-what’s the matter, fellas? Are you ninjas or p-p-p-p-p-pussies?
Cartman: We’re twice the ninjas you fags are!
THIS is the world we live in…
Plural of Ninja must be Ninji? Well sounds right, a Flange, a Flock or even Whoop of Ninji. ‘We got Whooped by The Ninji’ or ‘The Ninji are Flocking’ … ‘Watch out there are a Flock of Ninji overhead’ …. and you wouldn’t want to get some of that in your eye.
Or of course those poor unfortunate drug dealers probably felt they had been ‘Flocked by Ninji’? Enough.
Ninjitsu i think..
