Jeremy Wolf said the man appeared to have containers of cleaning chemicals strapped to his chest. He has stretched his leg over the railing as if to jump down to the center court, where hundereds of shoppers were waiting in line.

"I could literally see his face on fire," Wolf said."

The man who was not carrying any identification was taken to Rcokford's (IL.)OSF St. Anthony's medical center (from Cherryvale Mall) and was to be transferred to Loyola University Medical Center.

What do the muslim terrorists have against Santa?

Practitioners of "Santa-ria" are infidels.

Sounds like there were 2 Todd Beamers on the scene before the rent a cops showed.

Either by Daisy Cutter or by a beat down at the food court-another possible terrorist has been subdued.

I won't be a bit surprised if we see more strange behavior from those with severe psychological disorders. 911 coupled with the holiday season may really "do a number" on these folks.

BTW, Loyola has an excellent burn center.

Actually, I wonder if the guy didn't suffer a pysychotic break, or something. Maybe schizoid? He's about the right age for an initial onset.

That was my thought. It's the right time of year for this kind of stuff. "There but for the grace of God..."

FYI there are at least two long acting, injectable antipsychotic medications that for some last a month at a time others require more per month.

Maybe incidents like this would be much less frequent if we hadn't (thanks to the Democrats)
released tens of thousands of dangerous crazies onto the streets,
and then provided virtually NO mandatory follow-up for them.

I'm glad you mentioned this. Everytime I hear a liberal say that this was done by the Pubs,
I know they're wrong, but don't have enough information to counter their arguements.
I'd love to get the real story about that.

This guy is a first class Darwin Hall of Fame award recipient.

No. He just attended a Liberal university.

Well, I can almost relate, after this past week with all my relatives. Now if I could just get my left eye to quit twitching. . .

I know Harry Browne had a tough day yesterday, but this is no way to resolve his problems... ;-)

Kind of like the bit on the WKRP in Cincinnatti show where they got the bright idea to do a Thanksgiving promotion by throwing turkeys out of a helicopter over a mall parking lot. Didn't work too well, turkeys don't fly. They splat!

Its a post 9/11 world - the NEW New World Order.
