The only answer to a bad naked opera singer with a bow and arrow is a good naked opera singer with a bow and arrow.
The rights to this story will be bought by Netflix in the next couple of years and adapted into the following:
– “Care home rampage”; a semi-fictional story
– “Random acts of Carnage episode 12 – Care home showdown”
– “Extraordinary lives in a care home”; documentary
As someone who works in an EMI nursing home, sounds about normal
Well that’s a headline I didn’t expect to read today.
Epic. Should be a movie.
From the article:
“Staff called 999 when Mark Holland went on a “rampage” after being told that he would not be allowed to leave the care home to go shopping, Blackpool Magistrates’ Court heard”.
“The retired opera singer, was a voluntary resident at the home after suffering health problems and was normally allowed his freedom, the court heard. However, he “flipped” after home bosses feared he had been drinking too much and told him he must remain indoors.”
“Pam Smith, prosecuting, said Holland suddenly broke out into song and appeared from his room naked. He threatened staff, who rang police and evacuated residents to safe areas when he re-appeared from his room wielding a bow and metal-tipped arrows.”
“Belmar Nursing Home in in Lytham St Annes, Lancashire, went into lockdown on Oct 2 during the stand-off. Other residents were evacuated from common rooms and taken to the cellar as Holland went on a wrecking spree.”
“In a statement read to the court, Pc Nicole Bennett said the incident “escalated quickly” and police brought in a trained negotiator because they feared Holland would take a hostage.”
“Holland was tasered three times before retreating back to his room. Police then broke into the room and handcuffed him.”
