Two armed “polygamist women” dressed like “ninjas” were subdued by a sword-wielding man during a home invasion, according to police in suburban Utah....Cassandra couldn't dream so well as that.
The women “violently attacked one of the adult males in the house who came to see who was coming,” Ian Adams of the West Jordan police department told the Guardian.
“Another adult male joined the fray in defense of the first male victim. He was armed with a sword, and using a sword…”
“I went to the bottom of the stairs and saw a couple of ninjas coming down,” the man was quoted as saying. “They were all dark gray or black, and they had black rubber gloves on and masks. All I could see was their eyes.”

Ninjas need retraining. They were seen.
They probably didn't come from the schools I know about. In American terms, they were freelance amateurs.
Heh :)
I wonder if there was a roast involved?
Obviously, they need sword control legislation over there.
Yeah, we wouldn't want people successfully defending their homes, would we? :)
Sword fights in Utah, trebuchet's in the Ukraine, what century are we in anyway?
I do suspect the swords and the wielders thereof are not "the real thing" or else we would be reading about extensive carpet cleaning bills. From European eyewitnesses in Japan in the late Edo period, sword fights were always accompanied with a plethora of missing body parts.
It sounds like they may have suddenly gotten sensible when they encountered the guy with the big sword.
Ah, yes- the "abrupt victim reassessment plan" in action!

Welcome to my world.
Grim talked about that crazy world a few years ago.
Also via gun saves lives blog, many of the defensive uses of the gun doesn't end in a shot fired or wounded people. Some more proof that On Killing was more correct than the critics thought.
Humans don't like killing other humans, and other humans don't like getting killed. Mutual advantage and agreement.
So Grim's comment that people backed off when the heavy hardware comes online, sounds normally like what people do. Sane people at least. Insane people, can't predict those.
Of course, that doesn't prove that anyone had "skill" or lethal force capability, just the threat of it.
