Ladic Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- Colorado Springs police are looking for a man who hit two 7-Eleven convenience stores early Wednesday, armed with a Klingon sword. The first robbery was reported at 1:50 a.m., at 145 N Spruce St. The clerk told police a white man in his 20s, wearing a black jacket, blue jeans and wearing a black mask, entered the store with a weapon the clerk recognized from the Star Trek TV series. The robber demanded money and left with an undisclosed amount. half hour later, police received a call from a 7-Eleven at 2407 N. Union Blvd., where a man matching the previous description entered the store with a similar weapon. He also demanded money from the store clerk. The clerk refused and the robber ran off. Both clerks described the weapon as a Star Trek Klingon type sword, called a "Batleth." Neither clerk was injured in the robberies. http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/18637190/detail.html# Quote
VFTF1 Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 This doesn't beat the Sith attack on the Church of Jedi in the UK... have to dig up the link, but it happened... Pete Quote

Pete It totally does, you can google that incident up, and the whole thing was actually recorded. It's crazy lame. Kind of funny though. It's just a drunk dude wearing a trashbag wielding a crutch who hit one guy in the head, and he was barely even hurt. Robbing a 7 11 with a batleth is way further out there. Quote

You guys forgot the best part. Before exitting, the robber was heard yellong "Mog, Charlston Chew!" Quote
David Hingtgen Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 At least they recognize it for what it is---in the UK, a batt'leth is a truly feared and dangerous weapon, and should be banned: Quote
eugimon Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 bwahahaha. A batt'leth is more likely to decapitate the wielder than anyone else, imo. Quote
reddsun1 Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! NEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRDDSSSS!!!!!!! Quote
Ghost Train Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Captain's Log Supplemental, the Enterprise has been robbed by a Ferengi marauder and currently short of credits. I've sent Data and Worf on an emergency away mission to the surface to rob a convenience store because they're expendable. Quote
Morpheus Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 lol..that man must be either stupid or brave to stole a batt'leth from a Klingon and then used it to rob a convenience store, oh shi*** that means there's one very angry Klingon looking for his batt'leth in the city. Quote
Graham Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 I find it funny that both convenience store clerks were able to identify the weapon. Obviously, this points to some correllation between being a Trekkie and working as a convenience store clerk. Graham Quote
Mog Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 Did the suspect steal a gallon of prune juice too? (Sorry, Star Trek inside-joke ) Quote
Morpheus Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 The second clerk must have a Tribble as a pet, that's why he ran off. Quote

Gimme a Magic Wishing Staff or Lightsaber anyday. Taksraven Quote
anime52k8 Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 (edited) Its never looked like a particulary practical weapon to use anyway. Gimme a Magic Wishing Staff or Lightsaber anyday. Taksraven I'd rather just use a gun. Edited February 6, 2009 by anime52k8 Quote
reddsun1 Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 (edited) I'd rather just use a gun. Funny stuff. IIRC, H. Ford said in an interview that it was supposed to be a full-on choreographed fight scene--he was feeling ill that day, so he just ad-libbed. And the rest, as they say....

spiderman Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 If you look at the surveilance photo, the knife is too short to be a bat'leth. Maybe it's a mini. Quote
