Nothing more Mass than threating to gut a tyrant with a saber.

Only if you're from one of the fancy places around here, most of us would just use a brick, a sock full of pennies or just drop them off in central Lynn or Lawrence after dark. problem solved. Addendum: although if RFK jr is in the picture we'd have to use a plane or a car and a bridge in Chappaquiddick to keep it traditional.

I'm just glad it's a saber. There would be some serious aura loss if it was a katana.

While you were drinking Dunkin' and yelling at people on the street, he was *studying the blade*.

Only Japanese saber I can think of is the type 32 and that was used during a time period when Japan weren't exactly the good guys.

It's Massachusetts so obviously they offered him a couple of donuts and he had to drop the sword so he could hold said donuts. It's known locally as the reverse Homer.

Then they need to learn to improvise properly- they didn’t learn the sword correctly. If you can only use a sword, then you failed in your study of the sword!

Eh. In January/Feb of 2025 a bunch of stories were running about why there were any mass protests anymore and basically saying it implied a trump mandate. That kind of story has been replaced with kind of grinding "well it's going to be really hard to accomplish any goals with this" stories. Seeing that there are like-minded people around really helps people in rural areas not lose hope and connect up. Half the battle of getting through this is not losing hope.

Well of course, they brought a sword to what would presumably be a gun fight.

Our state motto really is "live free or die" but if we had a minimum word count. Which tracks with my theory that mass is what would happen if NH were literate.

What kind of sword was it? Please let it be a machete!

Randomman96 Apr 1, 2026 +18
There's an image of one of the ones recovered in the article. It's a plain looking old cavalry saber. EDIT: 'aight, there's an affidavit linked in the same article which shows all of the blades recovered. Including that saber there's a painfully obvious mall ninja katana, mall ninja type knife, a crummy little knife (that looks like it could be used for the poop knife meme), an old and rusty bolo knife, and a tacticool machete (complete with Paracord grip).

Vandergrif Apr 2, 2026 +1
This seems like the kind of guy who would probably also own a gun, so it's surprising that wasn't the obvious tool of choice.

All we know is "Antifa" was etched into the blade and embossed in 24k gold.

Watch them not speak of him again. Because they looked into his background and found he voted for Trump. It’s happened a few times now.

Vandergrif Apr 2, 2026
That's the funny thing, the only ones crazy enough to do this sort of thing are also the ones crazy enough to vote for him.

queefburritowcheese Apr 2, 2026 +3
Law #4 is "always say less than necessary" to appear more powerful. The schizo loser has no power or authority, hence the loud, irrational threats and sword wielding.
