Rage Against the Flatscreen: Man Takes Bat to 29 TVs in Walmart

by Terrence O'Brien on February 11, 2010 at 06:45 PM

What could have possibly made 23-year-old Westley Strellis completely lose it and storm through a Walmart outside of Georgia smashing TVs left and right with a bat he found in the store?

When police arrived on the scene following Strellis' flat-panel-destroying rampage he was sitting quietly on the floor of an aisle according to the Huffington Post. When placed in cuffs the young-man invoked his Fifth Amendment right to keep quiet and taken downtown.

All told, Strellis destroyed 29 televisions, causing $22,000 in damages and an untold amount of chaos. Check out the (rather poor quality) video below from the store's security cameras. [From: AP and Huffington Post and Atlanta Journal-Constitution]
