Crusader Nabbed by Michigan Cops

AUGUST 5--Meet Robert McClain. The Michigan man, 42, was arrested last week after he attempted to literally go medieval on cops. According to the Royal Oak Police Department report, officers were dispatched to McClain's home after a motorist called 911 to report that McClain had fled the scene of an auto accident. When they arrived at his crib, McClain allegedly tried to strike a cop with a four-foot sword. After missing, McClain retreated to his basement, where he donned a chainmail armored vest and leather gauntlets to protect his arms. He also added a giant wooden mallet to his arsenal and beckoned officers to come downstairs and get him. "I'm gonna crush your fucking skulls," McClain warned. Then, in a nice rhetorical flourish (for a lunatic, at least), he added, "I have a thousand years of power." That omnipotence, however, was no match for a police Taser, which felled
McClain.

COSMO directs us to the more interesting responses from an RPG site:

"Armor won't protect you against Power Word Stun..."

"He definitely falled his save vs electricity anyway. "

"It's about putting a whackjob who thinks the police are there to LARP with him on the floor without putting a bullet through him or breaking his skull with a nightstick."

I'll add that this guy has a whole new meaning of the word "encumberance."
