Crazy man tried to shoot up the Super Bowl

Kurt William Havelock, a would-be bar owner, almost shot up the Super Bowl before turning around after thinking better of it. Kurt was upset that he was denied a liquor lisence thus putting his dreams of owning a bar on hold. Gee, I can't understand why, he seems so stable! Havelock who came within feet of the University of Phoenix Stadium, home of the 2008 Super Bowl had a riffle and 200 rounds of amuniation in his car.

Of course, crazy Kurt was way too far in to not get caught even though a shot was never fired. Seems he decided to mail a couple of media outlets his manifesto in which he "had vowed to 'shed the blood of the innocent'" because "No one destroys [his] dream!" He later turned himself into the police but not before rounding up his father and his fiancee to discuss what he had done.

Mr. Havelock has been charged with mailing threatening communications and currently being held without bond pending an additional hearing.

I know it's hard when things don't go your way, but threatening to shot innocent people because you can't open a bar seems a little far flung to me. Watch out Kurt, because the popo are on your tail!
