More on Moore's Vaughan Foods Beheading

There are more developments in the beheading that occurred in Moore, Oklahoma. (Please see my first posting on this event, here.)

As you will recall, it was reserve police officer and the chief operating officer Mark Vaughan of Vaughan Foods who was declared a hero for stopping the accused suspect from attacking anyone any further.

As far as the twilight language is concerned, perhaps most intriguing is that the Vaughan family crest is three disembodied heads. (This information was conveyed to me by a member of the Vaughan clan overnight, whom I thank.)

The story behind the Vaughan creat involves a tale that syncs with the beheadings.

The above (modern) version of the Vaughan head in their crest was done by artist Tony Barton.

One version of the origin tale for the Vaughans is that the triad of heads "represents a group of Saxon boys being strangled or beheaded - the usual appearance is in a group of three heads." Source.

Something this way wicked comes....

Alton Alexander Nolen definitely appears to have engaged in a copycat beheading, based on his viewing of the ISIS and related beheadings noted often in the media. The "copycat" theme is even being acknowledged by alternative news sites (see here).

Oklahoma beheading suspect Alton Alexander Nolen calls himself “Jah’Keem Yisrael” on his Facebook page, where he uploaded photos of himself reading the Koran and wearing Muslim religious clothing. Source.

Earlier this year, Nolen, whose Facebook 'cover' photo appears to show several Taliban fighters, posted a photo of the 9/11 attacks, writing: 'A future prophecy revelation 18.8. She (the Statue of Liberty) is going into flames. She and anybody who's with her'. Source.

Aurora Copycat: Too Soon

This Aurora Joker Copycat was recently seen at Dragon*Con in Atlanta. 

Am I the only one to note the man in a plaid shirt (as per the "second man" at Aurora) innocently standing nearby?
An interesting
"coincidence."

Florida Joker Arrested

An allegedly unstable Joker copycat (who use to live in a trailer park named Aurora) was arrested on September 5, 2012, after he walked into a Melbourne, Florida movie theater dressed as the "infamous Batman villain, The Joker," reported the media on Wednesday.

The individual is being held in the local jail's mental health ward. He was identified as 21-year-old Christopher Sides of Cocoa, Florida, and was arrested on a warrant for a previous felony charge.

WFTV learned Sides has been involuntarily committed for mental health issues three times in the last three years. Sides was arrested Wednesday morning after theater-goers reported a man wearing Joker-like makeup at the Premiere Theater on West Hibiscus Boulevard. The caller said the man was pacing outside the theater before entering the building. Police said they confronted Sides as he was leaving through the front doors of the theater. According to police, Sides had purchased a ticket to see The Expendables 2.  

Police said they learned Sides, who had bright pink hair and white and black face paint, had a warrant for his arrest for failure to appear on a previous misdemeanor charge. He was taken into custody for the warrant and transported to the Brevard County Jail. Police said Sides made no threats at the theater and was cooperative with officers. He did not have any weapons on him, police said. However, Sides gave investigators no explanation for his hair and face paint and claimed he had no knowledge of the massacre in which James Holmes is suspected of killing 12 people in an Aurora, Colo., movie theater during a screening of The Dark Knight Rises in July. 

WFTV was there when Sides was taken to jail. Reporter Kevin Oliver said Sides was grinning ear-to-ear with makeup running down his face, even sticking his tongue out at WFTV's camera. WFTV's Renee Stoll spoke with some of Sides' friends Wednesday night. One man said he doesn't think Sides would be capable of hurting anyone, while othersdisagreed, calling him unstable, with a past to prove it. "I didn't think he was that type, but I knew he was weird," said one friend.

Former neighbors of Sides said they could never forget a neighbor like him. They said he caused a lot of trouble before he was evicted. "He dressed like a female. He walked around like a girl," said Trina Kitchen. 

"I cleaned this unit out and there were sex toys in here and everything, so he was weird," said former neighbor David Springer. 

"He was very unstable, swinging samurai swords. He's had a lot of confrontations with a lot of the neighbors," said former neighbor Joe Astrologo.  

But one friend of Sides said he is just misunderstood. "He was never a violent person, just an exhibitionist is the best way to put it. [He] liked the attention," said Sides' friend. 

Sides' bail amount is set at $5,555.
