Okay, here’s an update in the extremely weird news section of this week: on Wednesday a man defended himself from an intruder by using a spear. Yes, that’s right—a spear.
Jimmy Morgan Jr. was awakened this past week (September 17) by the sound of someone entering his home around midnight and he immediately grabbed his spear to investigate.
The self-proclaimed hobbyist of SCA—or the Society for Creative Anachronism— Morgan is well-versed in the kind of medieval fighting with spears and swords that would be more at home in “Game of Thrones” than in his hometown of Wichita, Falls, Texas.
In an interview with his local news outlet KFDX, Morgan displayed his own love for the Westeros way of solving problems by sporting a Night’s Watch shirt, and recounting how he stabbed 25-year-old Thomas McGowan, who allegedly broke into Morgan’s home.
McGowan was reportedly on the run from the police when he entered Morgan’s house that night. He is charged with evading arrest, criminal trespass and driving under intoxication. Though he was seriously injured he is now recovering.
You can watch him recount the events in a video interview over at KFDX, but be warned, it is a graphic video. Wonder hat would Cersei say about this??
