PHOENIX – A large-scale shooting rampage was mere minutes from unfolding at Super Bowl XLII last Sunday, authorities say — but was averted when the would-be shooter decided against it at the last moment.
Kurt William Havelock, 35, of Tempe, Ariz., turned himself into police on Sunday night at the urging of his family. According to authorities, Havelock was just less than a mile from the football stadium when he decided against the assault.
Havelock reportedly planned the massacre as a form of revenge against the Tempe, Ariz. City Council — because it overwhelmingly denied a liquor license for his restaurant last fall.
Officials say Havelock purchased an AR-15 assault rifle from a Phoenix-area gun store on Jan. 29, wrote a “manifesto”-style letter and mailed copies to authorities and acquaintances on Sunday night — just before the planned assault.
“No one destroys my dream. No one,” one of Havelock’s letters read. “I will test the theory that bullets speak louder than words… I will slay your children. I will shed the blood of the innocent.”

I wonder if He thinks Waterboarding is a great interrogation enhancer right about now?
Since He’s prominent though,He’ll probably get out on bail paid by the John Birch Society with a formal apology from the Govenor.
Remember,One mans Terrorist is another mans freedom fighter.
