Man Arrested After Attacking People At Toys R Us With Lightsaber

December 15, 2011 at 10:48 am by Morbid

PORTLAND, OR – A 33-year-old man was arrested outside a Toys ‘R’ Us in Oregon after he allegedly assaulted some shoppers with a toy lightsaber before fighting with police in the parking lot.

Someone in the Jantzen Beach Toys R Us called 911 last night to report a man swinging a toy lightsaber at other customers in the store. By time police arrived, the man had already assaulted several people with a lightsaber and was now in the parking lot continuing to act crazy.

Still wielding the blue lightsaber, the man refused to listen to police commands and continued swinging the toy at them while yelling incoherently. One officer used a Taser on the man, but the device didn’t work. A second used his Taser and made contact, but like a boss, the man swung the lightsaber and broke one of the wires free.

Police finally said “f*ck it” and apprehended the man the old fashioned way by tackling him and pinning him to the ground. He was treated by medics at the scene and will face criminal charges after his much needed mental evaluation.

Too bad this guy wasn’t at that South Carolina Walmart last weekend. No telling how that story would have turned out.

I bet he was really scary with that lightsaber. I would have been like Oh yeah look what I got Trekki!

Only fools attempt tasers on Jedi Knights. What were they thinking?

“but like a boss” – see this is whats called GREAT,as well as FITTING terminology.
Good write up.I’m sure this Jedi Knight has a very good reason for what he did, Toys ‘R’ Us has been known to attract the dark side,not as often as McDonald’s,but still.

Why can’t shit like this happen when I’m trudging through these stores Christmas shopping. I would have grabbed another lightsaber and we could have had an epic dual in the parking lot.

He confused the cops momentarily when he said, “this is not the crazy guy you are looking for” waving his hand in front of him.

Sounds like this guy really commits when he’s playing Star Wars.

I can’t believe I missed this! I live minutes away from Jantzen Beach and would have loved to have seen this! I can’t believe anyone would be afraid of a cheezy plastic light saber.

Hmm … obviously you have never been smacked across the face with a “cheezy plastic light saber”.Be careful what you wish for.

I think this padawan is destined for the dark side. Anger, fear, aggression, they all lead to the dark side of the Force. Where’s Yoda when you need him?

The arraignment will be hilarious when he attempts to mind-choke the judge.

Aww, I was really hoping this story would be about a guy who whipped his peener out and started waving it around while making light saber noises. This is kinda disappointing… :-/

How in the world do you ever confuse Star Trek with Star Wars ? I noticed this but I managed not to say anything till now …

I have always wanted to just lose my shit and do something like this during the Christmas holiday madness.

Christmas shopping….wrong you are doing it.

He was NOT acting crazy. There’s a bunch of Star Wars nerds out there that wish they had the guts to do this in a public that doesn’t consist of SW fans in the isle of the store that sells it AND battle it out with the cops.

Someone should’ve used the Jedi force with his ass because tasers… Jedi knights can shurg those like shit peebles in your shoes.

So that’s what they’re calling IT these days? “Cheesy Plastic Lightsaber”

And I get slapped with that cheesy plastic lightsaber across the face quite often enough that I ask/beg for it.

Bwaahahahaha!

Yeah, fuck that toy!

I wondered whatever happened to that light saber kid. Being a mocked meme star must’ve really done him in.

Yes, I have. And I’ve accidentally punched myself and it hurt worse.

Anyone who has a three year old knows how that feels. Light saber, Fisher price pull / push toys, slinky dogs, oh and thanks daddy for the dart board set.

Toy injuries 30,000, mom 0, at least in my home.

Heh! Heh! I remember my dad watching @the original Star Trek. My dad used to tell my mom to beam him up…..little did I know…. I remembered that about 10 years later on a particularly steamy date.

LOL.

I bet it was not a man swinging the force into your face.The force of a grown Jedi hitting you in your face would have knocked you into an adjoining room,or made you orgasm on the spot.

I have seen those “Fisher Price” Light-sabers,and since this was Toys ‘R’ Us you are most likely correct.I am sure that you already know that they make pricey replica Light-sabers for fans that you really,really do not want to get smacked with.

Worse. 8 year old boy with ADHD and dis-associative disorder, out of meds. I don’t have physical scars but the mental ones are still bleeding.
