I saw this also on my local radio station's website ktar.com.

That's, ummm...yeah. I don't really know what to say about that.

I wish they would release a video of it. Toys'R'Us ceilings are covered with Big Brother Bubbles. I wonder if he defended himself using Form III or channeled the darkness and used Vaapad.

Update...

PORTLAND, Oregon — An Oregon judge has used his force to order a 45-day jail sentence and mental health evaluation for a would-be Jedi who attacked toy store customers with a pair of lightsabers.

David Allen Canterbury, 33, told Judge Kenneth Walker that he is already seeking mental health treatment. Canterbury also apologized to his victims.

The Oregonian reported that Canterbury pleaded no contest Monday to assault and resisting arrest.

Canterbury had a "Star Wars" lightsaber in each hand as he swung at three customers last Dec. 14 at a Toys R Us store, Portland police said. He carried the lightsabers outside the store and swung at police.

According to The Oregonian, police attempted to shoot Canterbury with a Taser but the suspected deflected one of the wires away.

Officers eventually wrestled him to the ground.

No one was injured, the newspaper reported.

Canterbury has been banned from the toy store.

The Associated Press and msnbc.com staff contributed to this report.

Dang... Now he will start his own website Congregation of Jediism...

This man just had strange, new Jedi feelings that he needed to explore! I've been there! It's a confusing time. Should have seen me last Halloween! Attacking people dressed like Darth Vader with a lightsaber! I was just a pre-jedi! I didn't mean to embarrass my girl friend! hehehe

Canterbury then used the light saber to deflect the second officer’s taser wire.

Haha that's epic.

"It didn't cut the wires like a real lightsaber would..."

WHAT??

TOO TOO Funny!!

I'll admit to a sort of...fondness for plastic lightsabers. My friends and I can get intense with them at times. I've had welts, and bestowed them upon my sparring partners. Always good fun.

I believe I've stated the obvious. I forget that I'm holding one in my picture. <-
