Another wacko goes down

According to the New York Times, "Jack Jordan, a University of Chicago graduate turned drifter who lived in his car, was found guilty on Tuesday of stalking actress Uma Thurman." "During the jury trial in State Supreme Court in Manhattan, Mr. Jordan testified in his own defense, describing his elaborate visions — which he called the daydreams of an artistic soul — that he was predestined to meet Ms. Thurman and live a happy life with her and her two children." "His defense lawyer, George Vomvolakis, portrayed him as a social misfit with a strange sense of humor who was meek and harmless. Mr. Vomvolakis suggested that the jury could identify with Mr. Jordan, if they tried. “Think about your lives and what you have done in your lives in the name of love,” he urged. “Think about the stupid things you have done." "Jordan testified that he developed a crush on Ms. Thurman, 38, after seeing her in The Adventures of Baron Munchausen while he was in high school.

Rico says why do these guys always live in their cars? And 'daydreams of an artistic soul'? Fucking please... And, sure, Rico has done some stupid things in the name of love, yet he always drew the line at stalking. But how appropriate, to fall in love with someone after seeing a movie about someone with delusions of grandeur; the very definition of 'Munchausen by proxy', surely.
