Mormon bishop with Samurai sword runs off attacker - Philadelphia News, Weather and Sports from WTXF FOX 29

This story is awesome! And it has legs. I predict it'll be international news before breakfast

" A Samurai sword-wielding Mormon bishop helped a neighbor woman escape a Tuesday morning attack by a man who had been stalking her."

I was wondering what that facebook meme was about.

The LDS version of Chuck Norris has come to pass, this is just to cool.

[bishop] Hendrix, a pharmaceutical statistician, ...

How does such a prolific liar get called as a bishop?

[miztrniceguy]

Sounds a lot like Bishop Mitch Hollander in Magdalene.

"Some people have bats they go to," said Hendrix. "I have my sword."

Would of been awesome if he was in full gear, helmet, pads, etc... Talk about a sight!

It really is a wonderful story. Maybe there will be a movie.

If the perp was raised LDS, he had to be thinking about Mormons with swords in 1st Nephi.

I'm just thinking about the disclaimers on meeting with him:

Members who meet with the bishop may suffer from reduced guilt and freedom of conscience. Do not stop taking the sacrament before meeting with the Bishop. Meeting with the bishop has been shown to cause anxiety in young adults. A small number of members have experienced informal probation, disfellowship, and excommunication after meeting with the Bishop.

Oh, or when the kidnappers of sheep got their arms cut off?

[skalenfehl]

"There can be only one!"

[Apple_Acres]

I'll be honest, I really hope he yelled "BANZAI!"

[BadWolf]

"Go talk to your Bishop" has just taken on an all new meaning in my head.

If you experience dismemberment or severe laceration upon meeting the bishop, see a doctor immediately.

I guess even Jay Leno is talking about him.

That is NOT what the Church means by the laying on of hands by one in authority!

[annewandering]

Jay Leno did have a joke about him. The joke wasnt very memorable, in fact I dont remember what it was, but the Samurai Bishop has definitely entered into our national culture.

[Lakumi]

someone really should draw a picture of that... seeing the title I imagined him in full samurai armour (either historical or sci fi robotic)

either way, gives me a hilarious idea for a comic strip
