Bowie Knife

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (WAND) — A home invasion turns deadly in Champaign after a homeowner fires his weapon.

On November 10, around 4:10 a.m., Champaign Police went to a house in the 1200 block of Harrington Drive after receiving a report of a home invasion.

Officers said they located two men hurt at the house and began to administer emergency aid with the help of crews from the Champaign Fire Department.

The resident of the home had non-life-threatening gunshot wounds to the arm and was transported to a local hospital, where he remains in stable condition.

The other man, who did not live at the home, died at the scene. The Champaign County Coroner later identified him as Emmanuel Becerril-Perez, a 21-year-old of Urbana.

Police said the initial investigation showed the homeowner fired multiple shots at the intruder and got hurt during the struggle.

Shoplifter carrying knife shot by special police officer near DC store, police say

Story by Sana Azem
A Special Police Officer shot a shoplifter, who was waving a knife during a confrontation, near a convenience store in Northwest, D.C. Sunday evening, according to the Metropolitan Police Department.

At around 7:45 p.m., officers said they responded to a report of a shooting in the 6900 block of Fourth Street. When they arrived, D.C. officials determined that a Special Police Officer working in the area had “confronted a shoplifting suspect.” During the confrontation, the shoplifter allegedly brandished a knife, which led the officer involved to fire his gun, striking him.

The alleged shoplifter was taken to an area hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, officials said.

BZ to the guard, but “Special Police Officer” just doesn’t instill confidence. Thanks, Gun Bunny.

The Bowie knife is a timeless classic. I’ve had an Ontario Knife SP10 Raider Bowie for 25-ish years. Seems like my former employer stopped selling most Ontario knives last year, including the SP6 (a copy of the Ka-Bar), but they used to have to decent assortment.

Of course, the namesake of the knife was none other than James Bowie himself, known for the Sandbar Fight – Wikipedia, among other things. If you have to bring a knife to a gunfight, a 10″ blade is probably not the worst of ideas.

In Crocodile Dundee voice, ” ‘At’s not a knife. Now AT’S a knife!”

Looks more like an ancient Roman gladius short sword.
(are you gladius to see me?)

I always thought a Bowie Knife had a handguard on it? That one looks more like a short falchion with the handle from Frodo’s sword (not a Gladius since it only has one side sharp).

Yeah, if someone were start waving a knife at me, I’d do the Indiana Jones thing too, just pull out my gun and shoot him.

Special Officer = Private Security Guard. DC likes to rename titles to improve self-esteem, for example, they do not have ex-cons, they have “returning citizens”. No shit.

Not quite. They are police with arrest powers.

SanFransisco used to have a similar program but they were keeping homeless people from shitting on the sidewalks in front of their protected stores so they had to go.

I like this one in the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame.
To me the handle looks much better than the one above.

The Champaign story is a reminder that things get chaotic quickly in a home invasion. Glad the homeowner is gonna be ok.

“Special Police” Do they ride to work on the short bus?

Well, on the bright side, he’ll probably make next years Security Awareness Training.

I see that the justice system is already turning on those bureaucrats who don’t perform their job in the interest of the nation, but instead decide to use it for their own agendas

They are shipping the CIA rat to Guam from his station in Indonesia to face justice. I also saw Airman Teixeira got his 15 years https://www.techtimes.com/articles/308277/20241113/jack-teixeira-infamous-us-military-data-leaker-discord-faces-15-years-prison.htm
