04.14.09 WHEN LARPING GOES WRONG
An Indianapolis woman was killed when she tried break up a swordfight between her grandson and brother in law. Police say sword-related violence is on the rise after a 100-year decline.
Chris Rondeau, 39 and Adolf Stegbauer, 69, got into an argument at a home at about 1 a.m. that escalated when one of the men grabbed a sword, prompting the other man to also brandish a sword.
Say what you will, at least they both brought the correct weapon to the correct type of fight.
Franziska Stegbauer, 77, died as a result of stab wounds, Indianapolis police Sgt. Matt Mount said. Investigators are trying to determine which man stabbed the woman, but Rondeau was already being held on an attempted murder charge because of wounds that Adolf Stegbauer suffered.
“We’re unsure yet who started this fight, how the swordplay got involved,” said Indianapolis police Sgt. Matt Mount. “We’re not sure who it was who stabbed the woman. We’ll have to do some testing on the swords and figure out who had which sword, whose blood is on which sword.” [IndyChannel]
No word on whether the late Ms. Stegbauer also “lived by the sword,” which would’ve made her death seem seem so much less senseless.

The Sword Violence Index is notoriously biased against dagger and hatchet violence. You can read about this on my blog.
Obviously, Franziska threw paper while Chris and Adolf threw scissors. If only she had thrown rock this could have all been avoided.
A much more shocking title would be “When LARPING Goes Correctly.”
Well, at least the suspects were subdued. I’ve heard those SWAT snipers have really itchy crossbow-trigger fingers.
Just another case of the sword and the stoned.
Hello,
My name is Adolf Stegbauer
You killed my sister
Prepare to die!
I sword fight all the time. all i need are scented candles, Astroglide, my dvd of Where the Girls Aren’t, and updated cock pics posted on craigslist Casual Encounters section.
En Garde!
Scented candles???
Fag.
Hey, they’re manly cinnamon, not something like rain. besides, cinnamon covers up the corpse smell later very nicely.
Jusht like a wimp to bring shword to a shword fight
wait, what?
Is it still a hate crime if you love them to death?
DrudgeReport Update: Adolf died from complications to stab wounds.
There truly can be only one.
I’m in Indiana, so I think I’m going to sneak in to the press conference. Watch for the following exchange:
Me: “Mr.Stegbauer, how was the Renaissance?”
Adolph: “Faire.”
DrudgeReport Update: Obama eats kitten, slaps Mother Theresa
<==== LOVES Drudge
I wasn’t going out of the way for a Highlander joke; Adolf is dead. Ceased to be. Not living. He fucking snuffed it. THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!
As Franziska drew her last breath, she was shocked and dissapointed that she was unable to defeat the two men. Her Bic Round Stic then fell from her limp hand.
When asked what happened by police, Adolph’s lawyer, a Mr. Schultz, interrupted the interrogation by clicking his heals and stating…”He Knows NOTHING!”
Looks like those larpdogs were more than just bark.
Shouldn’t be too hard to figure out who killed Franziska, just check for fingerprints on the broadsword.
… two hours sleep, it’s gonna be that kind of day …
After leaving the crime scene, Sgt. Mount returned to his primary job: cumming on Jenna Haze’s face.
