Pic Shows Man Robbing Stores With Klingon Sword
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- A surveillance picture released by police Wednesday afternoon shows a man armed with what appears to be a small Klingon sword, holding up a 7-Eleven convenience store.
That same man robbed another 7-Eleven store store a half-hour later, and remains at large, Colorado Springs police Lt. David Whitlock said.
The first robbery was reported at 1:50 a.m., at 145 N Spruce St. The clerk told police a white man in his 20s, wearing a black mask, black jacket, and blue jeans, entered the store with a weapon the clerk recognized from the Star Trek TV series.The robber demanded money and left with an undisclosed amount.
A half hour later, police received a call from a 7-Eleven at 2407 N. Union Blvd., where a man matching the previous description entered the store with a similar weapon. He also demanded money from the store clerk. The clerk refused and the robber "transported" himself out of the store on foot.
Both clerks described the weapon as a Star Trek Klingon-type sword, called a "bat'leth."
Neither clerk was injured in the robberies.
The Startrek.com Web site describes the Klingon weapon as crescent-shaped and about a yard long. However, the weapon that the man was wielding appears to be smaller than that. The bat'leth has points on both ends, two points in between and a handle on the outside.
Police said they don't know if the sword used by the robber was made of metal.
Klingons were warlike enemies of the good-guy United Federation of Planets in the original "Star Trek" series but were allies in "Star Trek: The Next Generation."http://www.thedenverchannel.com/…

"The clerk told police a white man in his 20s ... entered the store with a weapon the clerk recognized from the Star Trek TV series."
If the clerk recognized the fake weapon, what kind of moron...nevermind, not even worth finishing.

Had the clerk pulled out his official Star Wars licensed Qui Gon lightsaber in defense, this would be a fabulous news story.

There's a theme-park here north of Toronto called Canada's Wonderland (kind of a half-assed six-flags mixed with shades of Magic Kingdom)
anyhow, they were or are currently owned by Paramount, so they had Paramount themed costumed dudes walking around..the most popular being the StarTrek ones...6ft plus theatre students dressed up as fullon Kingons...pretty excellent makeup from what I recall...looked just like the movies/tv show..anyhow, since they all basically looked alike, they used to get up to all sorts of shit, knowing that no one would be able to identify 'which' Klingon did whatever....
some of the stuff they did included walking into a store on the mainstreet of the park and announcing loudly 'HUMANS! TODAY EVERYTHING IS FREE! HAHAHAHA' upon which there was a freeforall/riot with every person in the store grabbing the nearest merchandise and running, thinking it must be some kind of weird promotion...
they did lots of other crap that summer as i recall, mostly just freaking people out etc....
that was back in the early 90's when i was in college and working at the park for tuition money....years later, i ended up working with a guy that turned out to be one of the klingons...filled me in on all the shit they got up to....pretty entertaining....
