Scott Case Takes Another Strange Turn

Raymond Scott was back in court today in Consett, England, where he showed up dressed as Che Guevara, carrying a handgun and a rifle (plus his instant noodle soup). Three men and women also in guerrilla outfits got out of the limo behind Scott; one of them was holding a sign reading "Blockade kills Cuban children." Scott was forced to turn over his weapons at the court entrance, and in a brief hearing was told that his case is being turned over to Durham Crown Court for trial. He'll appear there on 22 May.

Can this guy possibly get any stranger?
