There’s a new army in the drug war and it’s… Ninjas?
N.J. men with Asian weapons claimed to target drugs
Clifton police say they arrested two men dressed liked ninjas and armed with Asian martial arts weapons who said they were sending a warning to drug users.
Calling themselves “Shinobi warriors,” the men wore black SWAT-type vests and carried knives, throwing stars, swords, nunchucks and a bow and arrows.
After being arrested early Wednesday in a car on Route 46, the men said they were delivering warning letters to drug dealers and drug users urging them to stop their “impure” activities.
The letters said those who persisted would be stopped with “justified yet, merciful force.”
That had to have been some bizarre conversation in the basement of one of their parents’ homes that precipitated this South Park-style “adventure.” You have to wonder what the actual confrontation with drug dealers and users looked like in their fantasy.
I think if they had run into a couple of stoners, they might have actually succeeded in getting them to stop their “impure” activities… for the night.
Whoa, man, that’s some f*cked up sh*t! I swear I just talked to some ninjas. You too? Where’d you get this stuff? No more for me tonight.”
If, on the other hand, the ninjas had found some big time drug dealers, they would have quickly found their “Asian weapons” not much of a match against assault weapons.
Fortunately, the police stepped in before they won a Darwin award.
Hey, all you ninjas out there — we’ve already got way too many warriors on the field. Stay home, play with your nunchucks, and fight pirates online. OK?
