Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

The weapon of choice is a crossbow.
Only when you can't choose a trebuchet
I don't know man... I would rather go 1-to-1 against a man with a trebuchet than against a man with a crossbow.
That's how you end up getting launched out of a trebuchet.
*beheads several ex-girlfriends with a bastard sword
It's certainly more portable than a flamberge or partisan.
Head to head, the European blade would win on weight alone.
California man found guilty of murder for beheading ex-girlfriend with samurai sword
"After an intensive investigation, we have discovered that being beheaded by a katana is not natural, and we are beginning to suspect foul play may have been involved."
Why is he dressed like Sub-Zero?
It’s an anti-suicide outfit. It can’t be torn and used to hang himself.
It can be turn just not easily. Leave a prisoner alone with 3 packing peanuts and they'll find a way to hurt themselves, hurt you or trade it for something they want.
One of my friends was drunk as shit one night and we started talking about paper mache for some reason and he'd been in prison. We're deep into this conversation for no reason at all and homeboy randomly says something to the effect of "get me enough toilet paper in lockdown and I'll make you a Cadillac". Hyperbole yeah but it's legit crazy what they make in prison.
See? This wouldn't have happend if she had a gun. Or if he used a gun. Vote guns! Your NRA.
Was this the guy who was walking around the street carrying her severed head?
While she snapchatted with local chads, he studied the blade.
He studied the blade far too long
