Mind you, that’s only if you’re a Bad Person.
I hope that whoever wrote this paused a moment afterward, to mark the occasion. You don’t get a lede like this every day.
A Samurai sword-wielding Mormon bishop helped a neighbor woman escape a Tuesday morning attack by a man who had been stalking her.
The bishop chased off the perp, who later turned himself in. Because, well, he had a clergyman with a Samurai sword telling him, “I’ve got your DNA and I’ve got your license plate: You are so done.” You don’t have very many viable life options at that point.

PS: It’s still safe to tell the missionaries that no, you’re not interested in converting. Although the Mormons might want to consider the possibilities in opening up a LDS-affiliated martial arts school.
PPS: It’s a katana, Fox News. You can use the freaking name, all right?
Hm. LDS-affiliated martial arts. I like it. Warm-ups are done on bicycle…
Now, Moe. It might have been a tachi. (I’m trying to figure out why the word ‘samurai’ is capitalized in that first sentence. Is it a brand name in this case?)
Moe: If Fox would have stated “Katana”, some idiot would have surely thought, “Wow, graduated-to-bishop LDS missionaries get a motorcycle as a perk!”

Annnnd we’re now 2/3rds the way to a Car Wars/All Flesh Must Be Eaten crossover.
I was actually picturing a “mormon tabernacle choir/Akira” mash-up.
Only one question, though… Who gets to play the Clowns?
OK, I’d be tempted to buy it.

I saw the story last night. I declared to my wife “I love America”, and showed her the headline.
She rolled her eyes.
