article submitted by ug7433. two “modern day ninjas” calling themselves shinobi warriors on a quest to rid the area of drug users and drug dealers have been put out of business by police. officer before dawn yesterday approached a car parked in the left lane of route 46 east and found two clifton men dressed in black claiming to be ninjas. the men were wearing tactical vests and armed with knives in sheaths at their waists along with ninja throwing knives, chinese throwing stars, four-pointed tacks, swords, bows and arrows and nunchucks, said detective capt. robert rowan. jesse trojaniak, 19, and tadieusz tertkiewicz, 20, told police they were “modern day ninjas” also called shinobi warriors on their way to deliver warning letters to known drug dealers and drug users to stop their “impure” activities. they told police they planned to leave the letters on the front doors of these individuals they had singled out. their weapons, rowan said, were to be a precaution in case they were confronted by the drug dealers. the officers located five envelopes decorated with red chinese designs containing the letters to be delivered. reports show the two men had already delivered one such letter to tertkiewicz’ 16-year-old ex-girlfriend in clifton. police contacted the teen and her mother and alerted them to the situation. tertkiewicz was charged with harassment, both were charged with weapons possession. the letters warned drug users and drug dealers that the “shinobi will stop your cruel and sadistic intentions with justified yet, merciful force.” in the letter, the two men accused drug dealers and users of having “committed sin of passing impurity” to others and that the “wind guides us to those of impure heart and intent.” rowan said police are not sure how many such letters were delivered or where they found the names of users and dealers. rowan said the two seem to be very interested in martial arts and appear to be working alone. “their intentions may have been good, but we tell everyone that they shouldn’t take the law into their own hands because it will cause more problems for everyone in the longrun,” rowan said. rowan praised the two police officers, steven farrell and robert suhey for “doing an excellent job and putting an end to this mis-guided quest.” trojaniak was released on a summons and tertkiewicz is in the passaic county jail on $20,000 bail. source
the shadow hare is fighting crime on the streets of cincinnati.
phoenix, arizona (ap) -- when it comes to marking up historic signs, good grammar is a bad defense. two self-styled vigilantes against typos who defaced a more than 60-year-old, hand-painted sign at grand canyon national park were sentenced to probation and banned from national parks for a year. jeff deck and benjamin herson pleaded guilty august 11 for the damage done march 28 at the park's desert view watchtower. the sign was made by mary elizabeth jane colter, the architect who designed the rustic 1930s watchtower and other grand canyon-area landmarks. deck and herson, both 28, toured the united states this spring, wiping out errors on government and private signs. they were interviewed by npr and the chicago tribune, which called them "a pair of kerouacs armed with sharpies and erasers and righteous indignation." an affidavit by national park service agent christopher a. smith said investigators learned of the vandalism from an internet site operated by deck on behalf of the typo eradication advancement league. authorities said a diary written by deck reported that while visiting the watchtower, he and herson "discovered a hand-rendered sign inside that, i regret to report, contained a few errors." the fiberboard sign has yellow lettering with a black background. deck wrote that they used a marker to cover an erroneous apostrophe, put the apostrophe in its proper place with correction fluid and added a comma. the misspelled word "emense" was not fixed, deck wrote, because "i was reluctant to disfigure the sign any further. ... still, i think i shall be haunted by that perversity, emense, in my train-whistle-blighted dreams tonight." deck and herson pleaded guilty to conspiracy to vandalize government property. they were sentenced to a year's probation, during which they cannot enter any national park or modify any public signs. they were also ordered to pay $3,035 to repair the watchtower sign. the teal web site now has only this message: "statement on the signage of our national parks and public lands to come." source, source
