Crusader Nabbed By Michigan Cops
Medieval sword, mallet, armor no match for ye olde Taser

AUGUST 5--Meet Robert McClain. The Michigan man, 42, was arrested last week after he attempted to literally go medieval on cops. According to the below Royal Oak Police Department report, officers were dispatched to McClain's home after a motorist called 911 to report that McClain had fled the scene of an auto accident. When they arrived at his crib, McClain allegedly tried to strike a cop with a four-foot sword. After missing, McClain retreated to his basement, where he donned a chainmail armored vest and leather gauntlets to protect his arms. He also added a giant wooden mallet to his arsenal and beckoned officers to come downstairs and get him. "I'm gonna crush your fscking skulls," McClain warned. Then, in a nice rhetorical flourish (for a lunatic, at least), he added, "I have a thousand years of power." That omnipotence, however, was no match for a police Taser, which felled McClain. He was then carted off and charged with felony assault and a misdemeanor count for failing to remain at an accident scene. (3 pages)

Nah, a sword in the hands of a master fighter could easily defeat someone with a taser. But in the hands of a larper, yeah taser wins hands down.

Don't those tasers have a 10 ft. range though? You might have to cast Bloodlust.

Either this guy is crazy or he's a comic genius, because I'm laughing my ass off.

Looks like he's had a caucasian or roach too many and finally went off the deep end. So much for being a pacifist :laugh:

power is measured in watts, not volts.

If he was wearing a padded leather vest under the mail shirt the taser would not have affected him. Or if he had on a breast plate or similiar armor.

Kiddies, this is what too much Dungeon and Dragons can do to you. Go out and drink beer and play with girls boobies.

Taser or not, this guy must have been smoking really good sh*t to think he can take down gun carrying cops with a sword.

Hell, a college girl with pepper spray could bring him down.
