Heh, maybe they arranged it themselves for publicity.

Maybe L. Ron got pissed because he wasn't receiving royalty's, came back to life as a Samurai Sword wielding zombie ninja to get his money.

Pity he's dead, I've always wanted to meet the man. What he did was frankly bloody impressive. He's the only successful person to create a religion for personal gain in recent history as far as I know.

Fair point, although I suppose to be honest the reason I don't admire him as much is because of how he did it. I'd still enjoy meeting him though, provided I could get him to talk about it anyways. I'm not entirely sure he doesn't believe his own lies however.

If a retard with swords is bothering me and I have a gun...I shoot him in the leg and watch him squirm for a while...

I really wish the bullet had ricocheted into a gas line or something and the scientology building had burnt down.

Except he pretty much plagarized Aleister Crowley's religion.

Some thoughts on this:

1. Media will cry for a ban on swords because swords are "designed to kill, waa waaa waaa!", while completely ignoring the simple fact that a sword, like a knife is designed to pierce and cut. The fact that it can easily cut bamboo as well as a human being will naturally escape them, since they still refuse to acknowledge that it is a human problem, like everything else. Same item, in different hands, is safe, and hence it's hands that matter, not the item. Like the gun in the security guard's hands, could do lots of damage in hands of a psycho shooting up a mall, but nobody mentions that, do they? I have a "samurai sword", three of them in fact, that I use for tameshigiri, they can be used to kill. So? I had them for many years, and they haven't hurt anyone. I also have a chainsaw, an axe, a pick, several shovels, god knows how many hammers, chisels, screwdrivers and other tools, and I guarantee you I coult kill someone with any of them with obscene ease. But I won't. Same thing.

2. The security guard may be in a LOT of trouble, depending on whether the gun is licensed and on the company policies. Many companies do NOT provide weapons for their personnel, and furthermore PROHIBITS them from carrying their own weapons while on the job. I know someone like that personally, he would carry the gun to the company, lock it in a locker, walk around all day being "security" with nothing but uniform and cellphone, and then took it out of the locker when he sighed off and went home. So if the company this security guard worked for prohibited carry of weapons, they may leave him out to dry without any legal protection in case the victim's family sues, he'll pay for everything out of his own pocket. And he still may have to answer for excessive use of force if it turned out that the swords were dull cheapies.

3. The guy that spend 90% of interview time explaining what a gunshot sounds like and that his girlfriend is much better at it, that was just a waste of time.

Heh...I turned down a security job because they told me I wouldnt be able to carry a gun. * scratched my head and asked*...so you want me to patrol a warehouse building, all through the night and no means of protecting myself...alone?

Well yes, but you'll have a phone and a flashlight.

No I wont...who ever the sucker is you get to take this job will. Thanks for your time.
