Faithful readers of this blog will recall my intriguing post last Thursday about the elderly woman in Indianapolis who was killed, of all ways, after intervening in a sword fight between relatives.
(OK, maybe “intriguing” is too strong a word there. Whatever.)
What’s really important is that … a second person has died from the swordplay!
A 69-year-old guy also went on to his greater reward from the same Cutlass Contest that claimed the 77-year-old lady.
(Irrelevant blog factoid: The combined age of the deceased in this incident is 146. As Ross Perot used to say, “Fascinating.”)
The guilty party here is a 39-year-old man.
They say chivalry is dead, and I believe it. This clown was fighting a guy 30 years older than him. No wonder he won.
Heck, he probably used the old lady as a shield to lunge at the old guy. And the old lady was his grandmother! The cad!
Anyway, he was already charged with attempted murder. Now that Victim No. 2 is no longer with us, the “attempted” part of that charge gets dropped.
Serves him right. I hope the wheels of justice grind him up and spit him out.
At least he can’t claim, “I swear, your honor, I didn’t know it was loaded.”

Surely this is an outtake from a lost episode of THE PRISONER in which #2 challenges #6's mom to a duel for his soul. Or his cool blazer with the white piping.
Aw, heck, man, we just call this Saturday night in Hardin County.
