'Ninja' patrols streets of Yeovil

yoyo50 · 27 Aug 2011 at 22:26

A self-styled "ninja" is patrolling the streets of Yeovil in a bid to make the town a safer place.

Martial arts expert and father-of-two Ken Andre, 33, also known as Shadow, has been monitoring the streets of the Somerset town for the past six years.

Haha "I growled at the kids shooting BB guns"

EdGey · 27 Aug 2011 at 22:45

Haha, the growl.

Why doesn't he just do what he does, but in normal clothing?

That ninja suit does nothing but draw attention, which is clearly what he's after more than anything.

His poor poor wife... all I could think of was 'son... I am disappoint'.

Jono8 · 27 Aug 2011 at 22:52

pfft, i can see him. Therefore he is not a ninja.

peetee · 27 Aug 2011 at 23:30

bet the bootnecks from yeovilton would fill him in at the drop of a hat if he was dumb enough to go near them on the sauce...

Zefan · 27 Aug 2011 at 23:34

Only in Yeovil.

Skepticx · 27 Aug 2011 at 23:39

<3 there is always one

BananaDunka · 27 Aug 2011 at 23:42

Well his kids in school are probably "Bitch shut your mouth, my dad is a MOTHER******* NINJA!".

Anyway, he's clearly given the game away by telling the media his sword is actually made of foam...

Dam i swear this guy was on TV wanting to Kick some street racer asses. Oh well he better go make some yohgurt!

I think its great that people actually doing something to help the community.

There's a recent documentary about these types of people. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1792621/

Great stuff

Not much of a ninja if ppl can see him.

He might know martial arts but that doesn't mean he knows the art of a actual ninja.

Tho good for him patrolling the area. Could do with a few of him up the north east.

Ha! What a ****head

Haggisman · 27 Aug 2011 at 23:58

Not quite sure what to make of this really. In principle I admire him for doing the right thing - i.e. not going looking for trouble, but if he sees someone "misbehaving" he pulls them up on it, or calls the police where necessary (or so he says), and perhaps if more of us did this, the world would be a slightly nicer place.

On the other hand, as EdGey mentioned, the ninja suit is a little childish, why not just wear normal clothes, or did I miss something, and Yeovil is now part of Feudal Japan?
