Super Bowl massacre averted at last minute
 Advertisements [?]Source: East Valley Tribune

A distraught Tempe man was within sight of the Super Bowl on Sunday with an assault rifle, but a change of heart kept him from unloading 200 rounds of ammunition on the crowd, court records show.

Kurt William Havelock, 35, turned himself in Sunday to Tempe police and the FBI at the urging of family and confessed his plan, which he hatched in retaliation for the Tempe City Council rejecting a liquor license application for a restaurant and bar he owns.

According to court records, Havelock is charged with mailing threatening communications in the mailing of eight copies of a “manifesto” explaining the planned massacre.

“I will test the theory that bullets speak louder than words ... I will slay your children. I will shed the blood of the innocent,” Havelock wrote. “No one destroys my dream. No one.”

Magistrate Judge Edward V. Ross said in a hearing in U.S. District Court on Tuesday: “I haven’t read more chilling words, and I’ve been doing this a long time.” Ross found Havelock was a danger to the public and ordered him held without bail.

 You'd have some big crowds just around the stadium

9. You don't have to get inside to have access to the large crowds
 There were probably tens of thousands of people tailgating. Just walking from their cars to the gates, there are a ton of people milling around.

10. The article says that he had "mental health evaluation"
 Edited on Thu Feb-07-08 01:48 PM by Island Blue
after his arrest and they "found no mental defects". Hmmm, I think maybe they didn't look hard enough. Anyone who would contemplate doing something like this (to the point of writing a manifesto, buying ammo, driving to the stadium, etc.) probably has one or two "mental defects".

Edited to say, I hope he gets help, but it's becoming more and more difficult to get proper mental health care these days thanks to g.w. bush and friends.


How in the hell is this GWB's fault

13. No mental defects? Must be a terra-ist. Terra-ists don't have mental defects, right?
 Now I'm confused.

12. This is a good example of a way that many horrible crimes could be prevented
 We need to watch out for each other. When someone in a state of duress makes a threat, we all need to take it seriously.

17. He needs mental help, not prison time. 
 I doubt that there's anyone over the age of 20 who, at some time in their life, hasn't become so depressed over something that the thought of striking out at the world seemed at least briefly attractive. Luckily for human civilization, we almost always get over it and recognize it as a simple angry fantasy. Our humanity keeps us from acting on those impulses.

While this guy may have taken his angry fantasy a little further than most, he still stopped himself. His humanity kicked in, he aborted his plan, and he never harmed anyone.

This man needs mental help to deal with the angry depression he's obviously suffering from, and he needs anger management therapy to learn more constructive ways to deal with those impulses. He doesn't need to spend time in jail.


Xithras.................would you still being trying understand the jihadi as the knife started to touch your throat before your head was lopped off.................****in dumbass

22. 'Havelock' doesn't sound Arabic to me. Will he be charged as a 'terrorist' or for making 
 'terroristic threats'?
