Teen Scares Off Burglar With Samurai Sword
Karate Brown Belt Lunges At Burglar After PlayStation 3 With Sword
HIALEAH, Fla. -- A teenager with a brown belt in karate used a samurai sword to scare off a burglar who was after his PlayStation 3 video game console.
Last Friday afternoon, Damian Fernandez and his 15-year-old sister, Deanne Fernandez, were home alone at their northwest Miami-Dade County home while their parents were at work when they heard knocking on the front door. Moments later, two men were prying the front door unlocked, prompting Deanne to hide in her closet.
"I was so scared," she said.
As her brother slept in the next room, the burglars ransacked their parents' room, taking some jewelry before moving on to what they were really after -- a PlayStation 3.
According to a police report, one of the burglars kicked in Deanne's bedroom door. She said she could see his foot through the closet panels.
The burglar found the empty PlayStation 3 box and ran out of the room, but Damian was waiting for him.
"Once I saw him take off running back, I jumped off my (bunk) bed and I grabbed my sword and I just waited for him," he said.
Damian said he lunged at him with his samurai sword, striking him in the chest.
"He freaked out," Damian said.
The burglar ran out of the house with Damian chasing him down the road. When police arrived, a K-9 officer located the burglar hiding behind a neighbor's palm tree. The second burglar got away.
Javier Cotera, 21, was arrested and released early the next morning on bond.
Local 10 attempted to contact Cotera at his Hialeah home, but his family said he wasn't there and that they didn't know anything about it.
Damian and Deanne's father, Delio Fernandez, said he is concerned Cotera is out of jail.
"If he would have had a gun, I could have lost one of my children," he said.
Cotera is scheduled to appear in court in two weeks to face three felony charges.

From what I heard, Florida law allows you to have the right to intend harm on one you assume is intruding your property, including lethal force.
They just passed a law here in Florida saying you can harm someone in self defense ie he even looked like he is gonna attack you.
That sounds like a perfect excuse for murder!
Cool.
Quick Ned, thin out their numbers!
Hahahha funny story. Heck if the guy wants a PS3 that bad why doesn't he check the dumpsters outside of EB. *shot*
I don't know what I'd do if some kid came at me with a sword.
Wait, yes I do.
I'd laugh. Then I'd shoot him.
Would you still laugh if he slashed you across the chest? o.o
Yes.
Because I have a gun and he doesn't.
Now what if he had mad samurai skillz?
I have a gun.
He doesn't.
Game, Set, Match Wonderbat.
What if you don't have a gun on you, like the robber in this story?
Then what the hell am I doing robbing houses?
You can still rob a house and get away with it if you don't have a gun. Just quietly sneak in, Sam Fisher style.
Not carrying a gun?
That's just unpreparedness.
my sensai has the perfect advice for what to do when faced with a gun, hand them all your cash and anything else they want. >>;
still, if anyone tried to break into my house over here, it's less likely they'd have a gun. i'd hit 'em when whatever i could grab.. so good for this kid for having the guts to stand up to the buglers!
Besides a well-trained samurai could take any gunsmen...any day of the week.
Hiro Protagonist doesn't use a gun... He uses a katana...
"Since then the Deliverator has kept the gun in the glove compartment and relied, instead, on a matched set of samurai swords, which have always been his weapon of choice anyhow. The punks in Gila Highlands weren't afraid of the gun, so the Deliverator was forced to use it. But swords need no demonstrations."
Hahahaha what the heck is that from? lol

Well I watched The Last Samurai, and when you introduce the element of the gun to samurai's, you end up with dead samurai's.

You make Boston a sad boy... That's from the novel "Snow Crash". Highly recommended. Someone on here asked me if I took my screen name from the main character.
It was me.
Hahha yes I am joking Wonder. lol How awesome would it be though, if samurais could be trained so well that they can react fast enough to deflect a bullet. That would own all. And you know it. >_> A novel you say Stewie...hmmm...does it have a movie? *shot by a gunsmen and sliced by a samurai*
It was? Oo
Well, then I'll have to thank you for introducing me to a kick ass book.

Then the sword would break. I know this because the Mythbusters told me. And they tried that sh*t.
Hahahah wow Wonder. Even a Katana? I mean that's some pretty hard schick man.
Katana were actually very brittle and could be broken easily if hit along the flat edge!
This is because Japanese iron ore was of low quality and Katana didn't need to be resilient to cut through heavy armor anyway, since Japanese people were all LOL HOW I MAKE ARMOR?
I DRAW BOTH KATANA!!!!!! ><;
Very few readers will get that, but I just had to post it.
I see what you did there.
Yay RP humour!
I don't see it. u_u
Me either ...
It's jsut an injoke. I had to post it.
lol, I know. You hinted in the original, then in your follow up.
Then don't complain about not seeing it?
Hey! It's a free web. 😛 Besides...it's our inside joke...right, Stewie? >_>
Who are you?
It's DPG!
I have nothing to contribute to the thread at this time.
Please stand by for witty comment at a later date.
Hahahaha Wonder...with no contribution? *audience gasps* but you want to know who I am Stewie? "I'm the terror that flaps in the night" *totally ridiculed*
