Mad Max fans arrested

<p>'Mad Max' fan convoy ends in arrests SAN ANTONIO &mdash; Eleven "Mad Max"
fans of were arrested after alarming motorists as they made their way
to a movie marathon in a theatrical convoy in which they surrounded a
tanker truck armed with fake machine guns. </p>

<p>As the group was
headed to San Antonio from nearby from Boerne on Saturday morning,
police received several calls from motorists who reported a "militia"
surrounding a tanker truck, a police report states. </p>

<p>Police
charged nine people with obstruction of a highway and two others with
possession of prohibited knives in addition to obstruction of a
highway. </p>

<p>One of the organizers of the convoy, Chris Fenner,
said the arrests were unfair. He said he didn't know why anyone would
have confused the costumed crew recreating a scene from "Mad Max 2: The
Road Warrior" &mdash; set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland &mdash; with a real
threat. </p>

<p>"I honestly don't know how that could be, because 'Road Warrior' was so over the top," he said. </p>

<p>About
25 people participated in the convoy and more than twice that number
were expected to attend the movie marathon, which was canceled after
the arrests.</p>

Click here to learn more as it comes in directly from the people who attended. Sounds like what was supposed to be a fun get together and movie marathon turned into great big pain in the ass. God, I wish I was there.

It'd be even funnier if they bust a LARP for similar reasons, though I guess this is pretty close to LARPing anyway.

Well when the world goes to hell those crazy Mad Max fans will have training in the taking over of tanker trucks driven by Mel Gibson esque characters. Only to find out that it's filled with sand. :dance:

Yeah perhaps they should have contacted DPS and local police to tell them that there was going to be a demonstration. Idiots.
Ignore my warnings and pay no heed then your live will be ended shortly indeed!
