Starbucks Bomber Inspired by Fightclub
Who hasn’t seen “Fight Club”? The movie has spawned countless fight clubs since it came out and earlier this year, it inspired a teenager to bomb a Starbucks on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. In case you’ve been living in a cave and missed the movie, the protagonist played by Brad Pitt hatched a plan to destroy corporations by blowing up their buildings.
Anyway, this inspired Kyle Shaw, 17, obssessed with the movie, to start his own fight club and actually create a home made bomb. He then placed it outside a Starbucks which blew up and destroyed the window and inflicted little damage since it was at 3:30 am.
Police arrested Mr. Shaw after people tipped off to the police that he was the bomber. Mr. Shaw told people he knew, about his fight club and about the bombing.

- The second rule of Fight Club is, you DO NOT talk about Fight Club.
He should have obeyed the rules of Fight Club… but its better that he was not so bright.
