Seen here about to fail hard, 37-year old “warrior” David Millington prepares to wage battle on an enemy he’s held a grudge against for 30 years. Wait — since you were seven?! Jesus, he wiped a booger on your arm, bro – let it go.

This is the astonishing moment a crazed attacker stormed into a supermarket armed with an arsenal of knives including a hockey stick with a blade on the end as oblivious punters carried on their shopping.
Described as looking like a ‘warrior’, Wolverhampton Crown Court heard how David Millington, 37, went into Morrisons in a suburb of Wolverhampton last March wearing a tool belt containing five kitchen knives and a makeshift shield.

Millington then chased security guard Andrew Osbourne, who he lived close to as a youngster and reportedly has a 30-year grudge against, through the store before being tackled to the ground by brave manager Michael Walsh.

First of all, that’s not a shield. Not even a MAKESHIFT one. That’s a piece of foamboard with a belt taped to it. Secondly, I can’t believe his mom let him leave the house with her good knives. Lastly, Millington was ruled unfit to stand trail and ordered to be treated in a mental hospital because he’s a little cray-cray. Gee, you think? He had 30 years to plot revenge and this was his plan A.

Thanks to Seb, who agrees in 30 years you could have at least ordered something from ACME.

My Two Cents: I am sickened when some punkass coward thinks it’s their right to take others’ lives into their own hands; I hope Jared Laughner fucking fries. Here’s the YouTube page of the shooter with his videos. His MySpace was “deleted”. End Two Cents.

A gunman opened fire Saturday onto a crowd at a public event held by Rep. Gabrielle Giffords in Tucson, Ariz., critically injuring the congresswoman and killing at least five people.

The dead included U.S. District Judge John Roll, U.S. Marshal for Arizona David Gonzales told The Associated Press. Giffords, who was shot in the head, was among at least 13 people injured, according to the Pima County, Ariz., sheriff’s office.

President Obama, in a statement, said “we know that some have passed away” and that Giffords was “gravely wounded.”

NPR and other news organizations reported earlier Saturday that Giffords had died. NPR member station KJZZ in Phoenix reported the congresswoman and six others had been killed by the gunman.

Giffords, who was re-elected to a third term in November, was hosting a “Congress on Your Corner” event at a Safeway in northwest Tucson when a gunman ran up and started shooting, according to Peter Michaels, news director of Arizona Public Media.

The suspect fired indiscriminately from about four feet away, Michaels said. A congressional official told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity that the gunman was using an automatic weapon.

The suspect ran off and was tackled by a bystander. He was taken into custody. Witnesses described him as in his late teens or early 20s. Federal, state and local law enforcement authorities in Arizona are investigating the shooting.

The congresswoman was transported to University Medical Center in Tucson.

Giffords was first elected to represent Arizona’s 8th District in 2006. The “Congress on Your Corner” events, which she holds regularly, allow constituents to present their concerns directly to her.

Giffords’ Tucson office was one of three damaged last March by vandals who targeted Democrats in advance of the U.S. House vote on the controversial health care legislation. A glass panel at her office was shattered, and at the time her staff said that it appeared the window had been damaged by a pellet gun.

House Speaker John Boehner condemned the attack.

“An attack on one who serves is an attack on all who serve,” he said in a statement. “Acts and threats of violence against public officials have no place in our society.”

Her fellow Arizona congressman, Republican Jeff Flake, reached Saturday on his way to the hospital recalled that he had last spoken with Giffords on the House floor during this week’s swearing-in ceremony.

“We have a fairly small delegation and we’ve met often,” he said of Giffords, who in November beat back a tough challenge from a Tea Party-endorsed opponent.

“She got re-elected because she’s tenacious,” Flake said. “There was a very strong headwind against all Democrats and people did not expect her to come back to Congress.

“But she was tireless,” he said. “Others may have held back after things happen — like the damage to her office. She was fearless.”

Flake said emotions have been running high in Arizona over issues, including immigration.

“That’s obviously an issue that is a very passionate one for a lot of people,” he said.

In a statement released by his office, House Speaker John Boehner said he was “horrified by the senseless attack on Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and members of her staff.  An attack on one who serves is an attack on all who serve….this is a sad day for our country.”
