Crime The Downtown Ninja

Posted by Dominic Holden on Tue, Nov 17, 2009 at 9:05 AM

The Seattle Times reports:

At 11:15 last night, a police officer was looking for the victim of a reported assault in the 600 block of Seventh Avenue when she encountered the man impaled on a metal fence and screaming for help. Seattle Fire Department medics were called and removed the man from a fence spike and transported him to nearby Harborview Medical Center. ... he said he thought he was a ninja and would be able to leap over the 4- to 5-foot fence.

And the inevitable comment:

Does he still think he's a Ninja??? ...

But seriously, who hasn't made this mistake at least once?

There's a guy at my Y who does standing leaps onto a 4.5' platform over and over and over and over and over again. I wonder if it was that guy?

Probably needs to go back to the "Wax on, wax off" lesson and build back up.

Ninjas don't scream in pain when they're impaled - so, no, he's not a ninja.

Maybe this was part of his ninja trickery... to fool people into thinking he ISN'T a ninja?

Seems like a ninja in The Tick school of ninjas.

Wife- Honey, I think we just ran over a ninja.
Husband- Yeah.
Wife- Well shouldn't we stop?
Husband- It's not like it was a collie or something.

It is supremely un-ninja like to scream loudly, wear a stupid costume, and get impaled on a 4-5' fence.

I know the Seattle Ninja. Yes, I can tell you he is a Ninja. He is just a little out of practice and a little inebriated. The Seattle Ninja will come back just you wait.
