    You’re not supposed to run around with broomsticks if you’re not doing any actual sweeping, either. Or hang out in a dim underpass with baseball bats unless you’re an actual baseball player and are waiting for the train to your game or something.

    Wow. Yeah glad we don’t have that ridiculousness in the USA. I’ll spend the day celebrating revolting against that tyrannical attitude.

      Do you currently spend your day celebrating revolting against even a fraction of the BS you’re exposed to? Not willing to even protest against the various injustices in your country, but your right to be a mall ninja, that is where you draw the line?

      Lay down your neckbeard, trenchcoat, fedora, and katana, good sir, and have some perspective. Like, arm the homeless or something.

        Ok friend. I was being cute. Today is our Independence Day so I made that last sentence.

        I’m a recovered alcoholic with 11 years sober next month. I’ve lived on the streets before. Slept in gutters. I spend a lot of time working with the homeless and addiction community now. That’s my biggest fight.

        That said, yes, I’ll defend a mall ninjas right to carry painted toothpicks or katanas all the same.
