En Garde!

Ah, the French, always amusing. A French magistrate has been placed in a psychiatric hospital after going on a drunken rampage with a great big sword. One police officer was injured in the mêlée.

Police were called to the home of Philippe Bonnet of the Paris appeals court after a guest staying there alerted them to his unusual behaviour.

He attacked the two officers with the sword, slightly injuring one, before being overpowered with a flash-ball, a non-lethal weapon used by French police. He was then taken to a psychiatric hospital.

Two weeks previously, the judge had threatened his host with the weapon during a party he attended. He was placed under judicial investigation and given a conditional release.

Not all that impressive a swordsman if that's the best he could do. I mean, where's the swash? Much less the buckle! Now, if he'd done a Bluto like John Belushi in Animal House, it would have been really funny.

This is a Flash-Ball incidentally. Looks like it would hurt. A Lot.

    Nice gun..
    Yep, french are amusing.

    Though, it was better style than taking your classmates hostages and shooting some of them, you have to admit.
