Those young scamps pictured above can't stop thinking about ninjas. Twenty year-old Tadeusz Pertkiewicz and 19-year-old Jesse Trojaniak recently donned the all-black garb of The Shinobi warrior, gathered up some throwing stars, smoke bombs, nun chucks and katanas, and set out to clean up the mean streets of Clifton, New Jersey from the menace of suburban drug dealers.

Of course, the police arrested the pair immediately, before they had a chance to fight crime and/or hit themselves on the head with their nun chucks. The pair were picked up by the po-po after delivering a letter to a suspected drug dealer that read, in part, "Shinobi will stop your cruel and sadistic intentions with justified, yet merciful force" and accused drug users and dealers of "committ[ing] sin of passing impurity" to others.

Local drug dealers were not available for comment, but we're sure they're relieved that the pair were arrested. They obviously would have ended the drug-scourge plaguing Clifton.

On a related note: Ninjas are totally sweet. My friend Mark said that he saw Tadeusz Pertkiewicz totally uppercut some kid just because the kid opened a window.
