    I love the way he looks more annoyed than anything else when he shoots the guy.

    If anyone doesn't know the story, Ford really was under the weather from a cold or flu or some endemic bug. He was supposed to fight it out with the swordsman but just wasn't up to it and according to legend suggested to Spielberg "Why don't I just shoot the guy!" What gets chalked up as great acting, wasn't. He really didn't feel like it. :)

    I blame Seattle's job-killing minimum wage laws that, together with Black Lives Matter protests, have reduced the entire Puget Sound region to a smoldering, radioactive husk populated only by cockroaches.

    One of the earliest incidences I posted about was in 97 and then again in 2013. Obviously Seattle isn't unique to this sort of thing, but it does seem it comes up quite often. I made the thread out of fun. I don't like what Seattle looks like either but people carrying swords or bows and arrows have nothing to do with Black Lives Matter.

    I wish I would have labeled this thread differently.

    Here is another Seattle Sword incident

    https://spdblotter.seattle.gov/2022...fter-attempted-assault-burglary-sunday-night/

    Police Arrest Man With Sword After Attempted Assault Burglary Sunday Night


    Police arrested a man apparently in crisis after he used a sword to attack an officer in a patrol vehicle, broke the windshield of a parked car, and attempted to break in to a residence near the Washington Park Arboretum Sunday night.

    At 10:23 p.m., officers responded to 24th Avenue East and East Galer Street for reports of a man walking in the street with a sword. When police arrived in the area, the man suddenly approached an officer in a police car and struck the driver’s door with his sword — damaging the vehicle but thankfully leaving the officer unharmed.

    The man was in a state of crisis and refused to comply with officers’ demands to drop the sword. Instead, he walked away from police and broke the windshield of a car parked on the block. Officers followed the man and continued to instruct him to drop the sword. But the man continued to ignore commands, and damaged the door of a house with the weapon. When the suspect then tried to open the door of the occupied house, officers deployed a 40 mm launcher. The man dropped the sword, and officers moved in to arrest him.

    The 43-year-old man was transported to Harborview Medical Center for evaluation before being booked into the King County Jail for property damage, attempted burglary and assault. Officers also requested charges for the misdemeanor offenses of obstruction and unlawful possession of a dangerous weapon.
