'Game Of Thrones' Superfan Goes Medieval On A Home Intruder
You know nothing, Thomas McGowan.
Police in Wichita Falls, Texas are charging the 25-year-old with breaking into the home of Jimmy Morgan, Jr., a guy who takes "Game of Thrones" very, very seriously -- enough to own a bunch of weapons worthy of Westeros.
"[McGowan] was standing no more than two to three feet away from me," Morgan told news station KFDX, adding, "I don't have a firearm [but] I have a short spear, very quick, very agile and very deadly." Morgan belongs to a "medieval fighting" club, and "we do use spears and swords and things of that nature."
Don't believe him? Just watch these sweet moves:
I can taste the Valyrian steel from here.
So, what happens when you storm Castle Black, stronghold of the Night's Watch (or, y'know, Morgan's double wide trailer)? This:
Morgan says he stabbed McGowan once with the spear, at which point McGowan just wanted to get the hell out of there: "As he was running, he smeared blood from here to high heaven and he splattered here and he splattered there and splattered all over there. It was like a deer."
Police arrested McGowan, who was then taken to a nearby hospital for medical treatment. For whatever reason (perhaps the same reason why King Joffrey left heads on pikes -- as a warning), Morgan didn't even bother cleaning the blood up before inviting a news crew over:
"I am a Christian man and I don't want to take life," Morgan told KFDX. "However, I want to make sure that he understands that his life was mine to take. I let him have it."
Now that's a line to make George R.R. Martin proud.
