Man Who Tried to Kill the Queen With a Crossbow Made Darth Vader Video Before Breaking into Palace

[Zorro]

The man who broke into Windsor Castle on Christmas Day armed with a crossbow recorded a threatening Snapchat clip, channeling Darth Vader and describing himself as a “Sith.”

Jaswant Singh Chail said in the clip that he was planning to assassinate the queen in revenge for a notorious 1919 massacre in India by British soldiers.

His father, a software engineer, told reporters from MailOnline Monday: “Something’s gone horribly wrong with our son and we are trying to figure out what.

“We’ve not had a chance to speak to him but are trying to get him the help he needs. From our perspective, we are going through a difficult time. We are trying to resolve this issue and it’s not easy.”

1. I thought they said at the time he was apprehended immediately

Now they say he broke into the Castle and was carrying a crossbow.

For sure something about modern society is creating a lot of crazies, and the crazies think they're doing just fine!

2. Resistance is feudal.
