WICHITA FALLS, Texas -- A Texas man is jailed after allegedly going on a rampage in a strip club after finding his daughter working there.

Witnesses say 41-year-old Lee Wayne Lawrence was dressed in survival gear when he was arrested unharmed at Maximus in Wichita Falls. Lawrence remained in the Wichita County Jail Monday under $500,000 bond, charged with aggravated assault.

Police say Lawrence entered the club Saturday night, destroyed furniture and was carrying what appeared to be a pipe bomb. Investigators say he damaged two 7-foot-tall water-bubble lamps and a leopard-skin chair and slashed three tables tops with a knife.

Investigators are still analyzing the device he carried to determine whether it could have detonated.

[wimpycat]

No guns involved, but maybe a bomb.

I wish this story provided more detail. Was the daughter underaged? Did he go for a lap dance and end up with the "wrong" girl?

[Republic of Texas]

Not the leopard skin chair!

Why do crackpots go by three names?

"Lee Wayne Lawrence"

Oh, Oh.
As The News of the Weird has pointed out, the nation's death rows are filled with murderers with the middle name of "Wayne"

[ewing]

There is still no sex in the champaign room!

[Azzurri]

Why do crackpots go by three names?

Leave Hillary Rodham Clinton out of this!

[Republic of Texas]

Of course not!

[Dog Gone]

It could have been worse.

It might have been his grandmother.

[ItisaReligionofPeace]

They don't. The media gives them three names after they've done something horrible.

[ewing]

Sounds like Dad just had a good old fashioned meltdown when he heard Sally May was taking her clothes off at the Eager Beaver.

[Arkie2]

Bubba shot the juke box last night!

[RedWhiteBlue]

Yeah. Reminds me of the excaped convicts in the movie HAPPY, TEXAS. One was named "Wayne Wayne Wayne, Jr." He was doomed to prison from birth.

[Dog Gone]

Why do crackpots go by three names?

Why do you ask, Senator Wilkes Pardek?

[Larry Lucido]

If the girl was of age, this crackpot has no one to blame but himself for her upbringing. And she has no one but herself to blame for her decisions.

[Rebelbase]

Thats known as the "Wayne Lee Ray" syndrome. One or more of the names is predominant in crimminal activity.

[cherry]

the country would be better off to have a few more "Bubba's" like this guy.....

[DJ Frisat]

Why do crackpots go by three names?

Well, I'm supposing you're being facetious & your question is rhetorical, but it does seem that way, doesn't it? I'd bet, however, that they don't in "real life."

My guess is that they get the names from the police who read 'em off real official-like from a driver's license or other formal ID, and it just kinda sticks. And in cases where there's an odd irony or familiar-name coincidence, like that with John Wayne Gacey, it's certainly going to be perpetuated in the press...

????

[Arkie2]

Good ole boys go for the straight forward solution. My guess is a Teaxas jury of his peers lets him off.

[ewing]

This is called 'not guilty by reason of temporary insanity'-a jury of his peers will never convict him.

[shaggy eel]

,,, hell, strips clubs in Texas have gotta be bigger than anywhere else, don't they?

[Disgusted in Texas]

Couldn't have put it better myself or as my old cousin ,Billy Ray Williams says..Oh heck I plum forget what he says ,but I think that daddy was right on the money.I'd a done it myself.

[Illbay]

My guess is that he's just disgusted with the place. Some may recall George C. Scott's sterling performance in the film "Hardcore" in the late 70s.

[Aquinasfan]

Some of the virtuous patrons should tell the father that his daughter is a "consenting adult." To his face.

[APBaer]

"Thats known as the "Wayne Lee Ray" syndrome" Thank you. Now I understand. Admiral Poindexter's TIA (Total Information Awareness project) will attempt to round up the Wayne, Lees, and Rays. And for anyone with more than one of those names, well Dean Wormer already has them on double secret probation.

[JRandomFreeper]

As opposed to "doomed to die gear" that you and I wear. The guy gets to survive just because of the gear he wears. < /sarcasm>

/john

[widowithfoursons]

See, why don't we just call him George Scott? Must be that "Patton" movie.

[Aquinasfan]

If the girl was of age, this crackpot has no one to blame but himself for her upbringing. And she has no one but herself to blame for her decisions.

And don't forgot to blame the patrons without whom the entire enterprise would be impossible.

[Arkie2]

She'll always be daddy's little girl. If you don't have a daughter you won't understand.

[wimpycat]

If you're wearing a camouflage outfit, and you're not in the military, and you're not out deerhunting, I guess you're wearing "survival gear".

[NeoCaveman]

Crimewave ping.

[wimpycat]

Oh, I don't know about that. He's under a $500,000 bond. If only he hadn't brought the pipe bomb with him...

The pipe bomb is what did him in and got his name in the paper.

[2sheep]

After an old Michael Douglass movie perhaps.

He could be a mind kontrol patsy set to go off so conservatives can be blamed.

[agrandis]

Lee Wayne Lawrence was dressed in survival gear

Like a parka?

[Argh]

Thanks, W!

[YourAdHere]

Definitely a hardend criminal.

[Ditter]

Whats bigger? heh heh Have you ever seen Anna Nicole Smith? Now thats BIG! Oh, you were asking about the clubs, I don't know, I've never been to a strip club (pssst I'm a girl remember)

[xsmommy]

i did like the camo gear touch!

[agrandis]

If you don't have a daughter you won't understand.

I don't have a daughter, but I understand. I thought the behavior of Monica Lewinsky's father, for instance, to be very bizarre and abnormal. I think many fathers are abnormal like that today.

[BigBobber]

Why do crackpots go by three names?

It's pretty simple. The press uses all the names of someone accused of a crime so they're less likely to get confused with other people with the same first and last name.

Lee Lawrence? I bet there's a ton of them in every phone book. There may be more than one Lee Wayne Lawrence, but using all three names narrows it down.

How would you like to explain to your boss or neighbors that you're not the Lee Lawrance they heard about in the news? Saves everyone a lot of grief.

[Tall_Texan]

Hold muh....uh,....knife alert :-)

[billhilly]

"Not the leopard skin chair!"

Damn, man, that is a pity. My sympathy to all Texans.

[Eternal_Bear]

He was just pissed because the customers weren't tipping her enough.

[wimpycat]

Over here!

[OHelix]

dressed in survival gear ????

Its just not as subtle to come out and say "We've worked so hard demonize gun-rights advocates by attributing to them a negative stereotype of the crazy/racialy bigoted/pro-confederate/red-neck/kkk member/survivalist type image... we'd like you to include pipe bombers when you think of these people, too."

[Chuckster]

What do you mean; guys who raise thier daughters to be strippers, or guys who can't handle thier own failures?

[general_re]

...two 7-foot-tall water-bubble lamps and a leopard-skin chair...

That's what I like about those joints - the tasteful, understated decor...

[Billthedrill]

Jeez...everybody's an art critic...

[habs4ever]

A 500k bond? Wow, that's steep!
