[Artemisia] Sigh. Another black eye for the SCA

[morgan wolf]

Looking at the stills in the MSNBC clip, it is SCA-standard armor and weapons, so it does reflect on us, OTOH policy forever has been "what happens at private, family-only practice is NOT official, therefore not our problem".  Having said that, since he has committed a crime while in SCA gear, were I a resident of his Kingdom, I'd be sending his Crown a request to Banish.  Of course, the rules regarding Banishments require several steps and due process, so don't expect an R&D next week.

As for the "unpleasant fighters' practice", I highly doubt it, as the video indicated he's in custody.
