Sac Rag reader Plumwin sent me this tip last Friday, about another murder by sword:
Jonathan Ralph Lee, 25, a transient [from Sacramento], went to the Happy Valley home and allegedly used a martial arts-style sword on display in the house to attack his mother, Deena Smith, and stepfather, Barry Alan Smith, said Shasta County Sheriff’s Capt. Dave Compomizzo.
This is the third story in almost four months involving a murder where a sword was used as a weapon. That has to be a record or something.

It actually is a record. The last time this many sword murders were recorded in North America in a four month span was in 1684 when Ponce DeLeon attacked an entire tribe of Seminole Indians in St. Augustine, FL, which at the time was part of Mexico, which at the time was technically part of Spain, which at the time actually mattered in the world order.
