Default Man comes to senses

Not saying I'd do this, being a big fan of Communist Chinese goods at
rock bottom prices, but this guy evidently had an epiphany...

FEBRUARY 11--Meet Westley Strellis. For unknown reasons, the Georgia
man yesterday afternoon smashed 29 flat-screen televisions during a
rampage at a Walmart in suburban Atlanta. After grabbing an Easton
baseball bat from the store's sporting goods section, the 23-year-old
Strellis strolled up an electronics department aisle bashing the TVs,
according to a Lilburn Police Department report. Cops sought to
question Strellis following his arrest, but he cited his Fifth
Amendment right to not answer questions, so the motive for his
vandalism--which was captured on a store surveillance camera--is
unknown. The police report notes that the suspect was carrying a
bottle of Effexor XR, a prescription medicine Strellis said, "treats
depression." The destroyed televisions are valued at about $22,887,
though Strellis's spree caused additional damage to Walmart shelves,
according to cops. Strellis, pictured in the below mug shot, was
booked into the Gwinnett County jail and charged with 29 counts of
criminal damage to property.
