From the looks of things, about $4 worth of property was seized...

-$21 to -$54 once you factor the $25 to $60 for a tetanus shot.

Seemingly so many don't do any homework. For example, this guy: There are cheap plastic knives for self defense that are as good as metal for the first use. An example of those would be the Cold Steel FGX Nightshade series.

this happens a lot in dc. riding the metro you see police making arrests with rows and rows of machetes and chefs knives being laid out like they’re for sale.

Two days late. I was expecting stuff on Monday.

I went to the Whitehouse in 1989 as part of a high school band geek trip to play during Bush 41's inauguration. I had a ridiculous "butterfly" knife and a wad of firecrackers in my jean jacket. There was no reason to have them. They were just in my jacket all the time. The dude at the metal detector took the knife, tossed the black cats into the trash can and waved me through. He returned the knife when we left.

I wonder if that would be newsworthy today.

I feel like there is a comical level to it being a giant machete, like a pocket-able knife is one thing.

I hope he got to pull it out dramatically, like Tim Burton's Joker.

A rusty machete as well, nice!;)

I wonder if it is even sharp enough to cut anything

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Machetes can't even cut anything anymore because of woke.
