Murdoch Assailant Warned Thousands Before Attack

The man who attempted to pie Rupert Murdoch in Parliament warned thousands of people before his attack -- posting a cryptic message to his Twitter account just minutes before it went down.

While sitting inside Parliament, Jonathan May-Bowles -- aka Jonnie Marbles -- wrote, "It is a far better thing that I do now than I have ever done before #splat." (So, in addition to pie terrorism, he's a Dickens fan)

And that was just the latest message ... before the final send-off, May-Bowles -- whose Twitter account has nearly 10,000 followers -- repeatedly mocked Murdoch from inside Parliament, writing, "Rupert Murdoch appears to be going senile #hackgate."

He continued, "I'm actually in this committee and can confirm: Murdoch is Mr. Burns."

May-Bowles -- who posted the following politically-charged video to his YouTube account last year -- is currently being detained by British police.

Yay to him. Though, I think comparing Mr. Burns to Murdoch is an unnecessary insult - to Mr. Burns!!

What a waste of perfectly good shaving cream! Have to admit, though, I LOVED IT! Murdoch is a s***bag who's been ******** on people for years - and corrupting the media with his right wing propaganda (Faux News for one!) long enough. I'm sooo enjoying his humiliation and I hope his empire crumbles beneath him! Karma is a bitch, Rupert, eh?? Good riddance!

Really? Slamming a pie in the face of an 80-year old man is a far better thing to do than anything you've ever done before?

@Jen, a minute ago:

That's right. He was quoting Charles ****ens' novel, "A Tale of Two Cities". More specifically, he was quoting the character, Syndey Carton, before he give his life on the guillotine for another man. In other words, "Jonnie Marbles" was telling us that he was giving Murdoch a pie in the face on behalf of the rest of us.

not that i condone what he did, but at least it was a pie in the shoulder and not a bullet in the head. it's merely silly instead of tragic and for that i'm grateful.
