some dude in Boston - Gov't Center area, got hacked by a machete. man...that just sounds badass. and crazy. shit must have hurt
there are tribal wars in Uganda where they gather for big battles with bows and arrows and machetes. these guys are like "if shit's going down, we're gonna duke it out in the day time. we would never sneak attack during the night or whatever, that shit is whack". currently happening.
Jimmy its because they must fear the lions and other preditors at night. Or the hacking and killing leaves them tired and they need a good nights rest.
i have a machete right next to the the computer desk right now...in case someone tries to break in and yea, i know in other places that they are used in warfare....but its crazy to hear about it being used here during rush hour times downtown in a major city...
I was actually more amazed at the use of bows and arrows. and the whole manly, honorable battle thing. but that doesn't really have anything to do with your thread. I've got a fork next to my computer. for protection, and also previously used to eat food.
I wish they would still use the Batons, the whole Hacking off limbs is way to unhumane. At least being stabbed you can get patched up and still continue to use forks and walk.
In Vancouver, gangs of 12 year olds were attacking people at metrotown (the big mall of the city) with machetes a couple of years ago.
One of my good friends used to sleep with a machete, his landlord had a shitload of random guns and other assorted weapons and broke in a few times and scared him or something. I crashed there once and found out he wasn't joking... the next day I was him cutting weeds and stuff from his backyard using the machete and I thought it was bomb. I like machetes.
Machetes are a very effective knife. If you ever need to make a path in some brush just bring a machete and you'll get through it easily.
it was actually being reported "exclusively" on channel 7 http://www1.whdh.com/ the breaking news banner no actual stories out yet, as far as i can tell
thats what mine was used for when i was making a hiking trail ...cut down bushes, trees, made stairs....
a friend of mine got hacked up by one of his friends with a katakana the guy was fucking high i've seen his arm after, it was fucked almost sliced through some important tenants he was mad lucky after the bar i was supposed to go with them to party, i had stopped doing drugs at that point and just went home instead fuck drugs
We use machetes when our weeds get out of control, too. Our friend left 3 of his over here. But wow, hacking someone up with one is pretty savage.
