"There can be only ONE" - parking space that is

In yet another reason to ban Wal-Marts from your home, this sword wielding dumbass would likely not have been shopping at Bloomingdale's :-).

nbc4.com - News - Police: Woman Pulls Sword In Spat Over Parking Spot:


JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- An argument over a parking place outside a Florida Wal-Mart store erupted in a sword attack and landed a 46-year-old woman in jail, according to police.

Sharlott Till is accused of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon for allegedly threatening women in another car with a 27-inch sword hidden inside her walking cane.

Police said Till and her husband were waiting to pull into a parking space at a Wal-Mart Sunday afternoon, when another car drove around them. According to the arrest report, Till approached a woman and her daughter in the other car and they exchanged profane words.

Witnesses told police that Till produced the sword and began swinging it around. She later told police she is trained in the use of a sword and was only attempting to scare the other driver. (note: "Hey, I watched Highlander as well, and you know... perhaps that gives me license to brandish a Katana when looking for a parking space in DC)

Till's husband told police he didn't see the sword even though he was standing just feet away from the confrontation. (note: Likely he was afraid of what she'd do to HIM if he "told on her."

No one was hurt in the incident. (note: except common sensibilities)
