Jaswant Singh Chail, who was 19 at the time of his arrest on Christmas Day, 2021, scaled the walls of Windsor Castle’s grounds with a mask and a loaded high-power crossbow. He said his intent was, as a British Sikh, to assassinate the Queen in a Star Wars-inspired plan to avenge the 1919 Jallianwalla Bagh massacre, a colonial-era atrocity during British rule in India. Prosecutors said that Chail was encouraged to undertake this plot after discussing it at length with an AI-powered chatbot that egged him on and bolstered his resolve.

So he actually wasn't late and he wanted to snipe her with a x-bow. On X-mas. I'm struggling to imagine what could've happened if he succeeded and we woke up to these headlines.

It could've been mentioned in his sex chat, maybe? Yeah, it's BS. But he had an episode, so no logic applies.
