I love this story: Fencing coach "foils" robbery using his sword
Edited title per astute observation by Aristus. 
A Tennessee fencing coach thwarted a robbery when he chased of two goons with his sword, according to a report.
Franco Scaramuzza pulled into a Nashville shopping center last week and saw two goons pepper spray a couple and then take off with the woman's purse, local WSMV-TV reported.
"The first thing that went through my head is somebody should do something, and that's when I got really upset and disappointed with myself, because I realized I had the opportunity to do something," Scaramuzza said.
"And I didn't want to be a hypocrite who just tweeted about it."
