Oh, and the man was carrying two swords. Like anyone who brings a knife to a gun fight, he's dead.
One guard told police he "felt threatened for his life" and fired at the man, who he said was close enough to hurt him and two other guards.
Police detained the guard for questioning, but said surveillance tape footage of the incident backed his claim of self-defense.
The tape showed the man, whose identity has not been released, arriving at the Celebrity Centre, parking his red convertible in the lot, getting out of the vehicle and approaching three security guards while waving a sword in each hand.
I'd actually like to know more about this. On the surface it looks like a crazy guy doing a "suicide by cop", but why swords? Why the Scientology Celebrity Centre? Was he a rogue ninja warrior hired by Katie's parents to rescue her from Tom? Did he know there'd be armed security there? Was he tilting at windmills and got capped? Just what the fuck is really going on here?
Anyway, some Monday morning WTF for you. One love.

Planet earth and the rate of global warming does not care a whit for the vicissitudes of slippery DC posturing..
Just FYI.

...my son's in deep trouble. He's got a bunch of 'em, and my garage walls have a bunch of holes in 'em from Ninja stars.
Hey Rip!
the well-off have been living a sparkling jaunt of immense wealth and pleasure on the planet
Can jaunts sparkle, I wonder?
My jaunts sparkle.
Just so you know.
Betcha it pisses off the other people in the theatre when you go to the movies...
Yeah. Snark can have sparkly jaunts at the movie, but I can't have open captions.
I bet the PacNW has "Sparkly Jaunts Only" night at the multiplex.

Ninjas are sweet.
One other thought: What does it say about Scientology that there are armed guards at HQ?
Jeebus! I just realized - was it... Prince? Little red corvette whoo hoo-oo
Coyote!
MV, I laughed out loud at that link. I have to send it to my son, he'll get a kick out of it.
Exactly right, Rip, why the hell do they need armed guards? I thought an army of lawyers was how they vanquished enemies.
Little red corvette... thanks, Rip, now that song's in my head. And what up with va at Whiskey Fire - puked because he got high? Sad state of affairs, and total waste o' weed!
I had that picture as my wallpaper at work for the longest time and people kept staring at it, trying to find the ninjas.
Private security guards at a Hollywood Celebrity Centre? Of course. This is where Will and Jada come to get back in touch w/ the alien whatevers that Hubbard invented. Security has to be tight.
Don't all churches have armed guards? They should! Or is just the cults that have armed security? And what's the difference again?
What would the Apostolic Christians do if ninjas attacked? Throw their doilies at them?
Goddamn it, yet another morning spent on the phone to verizon. These fuckers can come get their shit - I'm done with 'em.
If for any reason you decide to head over there and have a little talk w/ the verizon people? Leave your son's ninja swords at home. No copycat crimes.
No way! Heads are rolling this time.

Make a recording!
While you're there, ask them why one of their employees is always hanging on a rapeling rope in their commercials. WTH does that guy do???
We'll find out, Rip. One fingernail at a time.
Make a recording!
Oh, I'm sure they're already doing that.
His name was Mario Majorski. He was a former Scientologist. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/us_world/2008/11/24/2008-11-24_fatally_shot_scientologist_was_mental_pa.html
Issue #318 of The Auditor, a Scientology magazine, lists Majorski as an attendee of the "Saint Hill Special Briefing Course" in 2004. http://forums.whyweprotest.net/625943-post13/
Whoa. Anonymous, you're freaking me out. Was he your dad? I don't mean any disrespect. It's just the story caught my eye, that's all.
Mario Majorski, 48, was caught with a "sharpened railroad spike" in his backpack as he entered an Oregon courthouse in June 2007 searching for a female judge who handled a landlord-tenant dispute he'd lost, a top prosecutor told the Daily News.
"He sent the judge a threatening letter, and after that he entered the courthouse with a backpack containing a sharpened railroad spike about seven inches long," said Lane County Chief Deputy District Attorney Alex Gardner.
I can't believe they let him off on probation for that one. Wow. Clearly the guy was messed up and who knows WHAT he was planning on doing at Johnny Travolta's Cult House of Fun.
Just glad he didn't get a chance to hurt anyone.
