Pffft, more nanny state nonsense. Can't even have a cheeky little machete fight anymore.
Back when I was a bairn the whole street would have machete fights. Little Timmy lost an arm, but you never hear him complain about it.

Just force them to finish the fight. Throw them in an arena and the last one alive gets to leave with no charges.

Thunderdome! Six men enter. One man leaves.

But, but, I use it for home defense. If I'm ever attacked by an Amazonian tribe, I can defend myself.

Of course, if this was in the US, they would be using guns.

Were they fighting over an XR3i?
