Loonier than Tom Cruise

Crazy dude

Mario Majorski, pictured above, was shot and killed by a security guard when he showed up at the Scientology Celebrity Centre wielding a sword in each hand.

Old Mario was once a Scientologist, but hadn't been a member in good standing (read ~ giving them 10% of his pre-tax income) in over a decade. He had, however, been making threatening phone calls to Scientology dudes for more than three years.

His lunacy wasn't confined to confrontations with Scientologists. According to the LA Times:

On Nov. 2, Majorski was arrested at a Mormon church service in Florence, Ore., the coastal town where he lived. A Florence police spokeswoman told the Associated Press that he was "cursing and moving around a lot" and was charged with disorderly conduct and criminal trespass.

Less than a month ago, he was arrested in Florence for swinging an ax at an Auto Club employee who was bringing him gas for his car. Majorski threatened to shoot police who went to his home to investigate, according to a police report. He pleaded no contest to disorderly conduct.

Majorski's mother died about a year ago at a skilled nursing care facility where he was not permitted unless accompanied by a special monitor.

I can't help but wonder what crazy antics he might have indulged in if he hadn't been blown away last Sunday.
