Mormon bishop uses samurai sword to stop attack [View all]

I put in "Mormon Samurai" and this is what Google images came up with. I don't care if it's even associated with the story. If there are more than one Mormon Samurai, I'm clearly not reading enough:

MILCREEK, Utah. -- A bishop of a Mormon church in Utah helped stopped an apparent mugging with a samurai sword.

He heard his neighbor screaming and immediately grabbed his sword.

He ran out into the street and scared the suspect off just from the sight of the sword.

"When he saw the sword he said, 'I'm leaving, I'm leaving’ and took off running," said Bishop Kent Hendrix, modern-day samurai.

The modern-day samurai's appearance scared the suspect enough that he turned himself into the police just a few hours later.


How can you not love a headline like that. BTW, this is bound to be a new Troma Entertainment movie franchise.
