Headline in Yahoo News! Must read to believe!'Darth Vader' spared jail in Jedi church attacks

HOLYHEAD, Wales - A man who dressed up as Darth Vader, wearing a garbage bag for a cape, and assaulted the founders of a group calling itself the Jedi church was given a suspended sentence Tuesday.
...

Unfortunately for Hughes, his March attack was recorded on a video camera that the cousins had set up to film themselves in a light saber battle.

"Darth Vader! Jedis!" Hughes shouted as he approached.

Hughes claimed he couldn't remember the incident, having drunk the better part of a 2 1/2-gallon (10-liter) box of wine beforehand.

1. these two losers were just pissed off because they got beat up on tape
by an even bigger loser. Why the fuck did this make it into the courts? More violence takes place during and after every football match in England than the "assault" caught on tape. Is it really the Jedi code to press charges because you got your ass kicked by Darth Vader? NO. You go to the Dagobah system and get training from Yoda, then you come back, kick some ass, and save the day from the evil emperor. Fucking amateurs.
