Colorado, and apparently Texas (next) are being targeted with an attempt to set up a federal authority framework that will enable Secret Service agents (not just those guarding the president), and others of the U.S. Secret Service including uniformed division officers, physical security technicians and specialists, and other 'special officers', to arrest and remove an elected sheriff for refusing to enforce the law (or anyone breaking the law)

I always wish I could see people sword fighting that lived in that era. No matter how much these two guys have practiced you know they couldn't come close to some of the people and lost techniques from the era that they actually had to do this shit for real. Reminds me of the article and video I read on here awhile back about archery. There are ancient reports of archers being able to shoot something crazy like 30 arrows a minute. Most more modern experts wrote it off as impossible and a wild exaggeration, but now people are discovering some techniques that prove that it was possible. Way back when people learned that shit from early childhood from people that had generations of accumulated experience.

I'm not so sure about sword fighters being more skilled if you go back a few hundred years. At least not in Japan where where Kendo is a very competitive sport today with several hundred thousands of dan-grade practitioners. While they don't actually train to kill people, someone with the best genetics chosen out of a pool of millions that trains hard every day for 20 years while eating healthy modern food and not risking his life on a regular basis is going to be pretty damn good. Sure, the historical fighter is going to know more about real fighting, but the modern one is most likely going to be a lot faster and stronger. When it comes to the European fighting styles the situation is probably a bit different since most are not widely practiced today.
