Looks like someone has been following the adventures of our teen ninja and decided to give it a go themselves.

49 and dressed like a ninja ,ROBBING A BANK WITH SHURIKEN … funny how they didnt mention his mental condition.

I wonder if all ninjas have throwing stars and a FAKE gun!

What an idiot. Seriously, what an idiot.

The funny thing is that shurikens can’t do that much damage, for the most part. They lack the weight necessary to be lethal. Unless they’re heavier than normal and sharp as fuck they even have a hard time just penetrating skin.

The things you learn when hanging out on the knife forums…

im sure the average banker wouldnt know that though.

I don’t think the biggest idiot here is the ninja, I think it is the bankers.

C’mon “I hold you up with my deadly shuriken”, I’ll throw one at you?

The only thing more sad would be if they gave up the money because he was armed with a loaf of bread.

I was going to say the same thing. Even the ones in my avatar Don’t do much damage (with the exception of the face). They are primarily a distraction weapon.

Now I’ll disagree with you , a solid shaken will penerate skin fairly easily, given you know how to throw them correctly. However, they aren’t lethal given that they will only penerate 1/4 - 1/2 of an inch.

People being “robbed” with them is just retarded.

Ya know, I think if that robbing banks/passers-by should be the measure of who has the r3a1 ninja-itsu. I mean, when you are telling everyone else to get in the ring and compete/fight, shouldn’t you be telling the ninja to get out and rob some people?

Dagon?

P.S. I mean, at least the guy tried. Consider it like going to a throwdown and getting wasted.

Not a r43l ninjer!

They are invisible . . . and shit. . . .

No smoke bombs?

This is not the way of Ashida Kim!

Ninjas are sweet, I want to crap my pants.

Is he a terrible ninja for getting caught the 11th time, or an awesome ninja for getting away with it the first 10 times?

am i the only one is dieing to see the surveillance tapes?

Maybe he could have use them as stabbing devices? Do ninjas have the real streetfighting like Bas Rutten?

He succesfully robbed 11 banks, so I guess it wasnt that stupid.

Isn’t that kinda like saying, “Matt Hughes has beaten the living crap out of tons of guys in the UFC, but BJ Penn beat him once so he’s not really that tough.”

A real Ninja would do it silenty and invisibly:

No pepper powder, no smoke bombs, not even a blowgun!

You know, I bet if he had hucked some poisoned doughnuts at the cops, it woulda worked…/tenchu

Wow. Proof that the gene pool could use more chlorine and certainly a life guard.
