Over the weekend, a man was killed in a bizarre attempt to storm the Scientology Celebrity Centre in Los Angeles. Here are four lessons we have learned from the story that could avert such a circumstance.

· Don't exit your car wielding two samurai swords. You will be shot.

· Don't attempt this questionably insane plan at noon on a Sunday.

· If intent is to take guards by surprise (by wielding two samurai swords), do not announce presence by pulling up in a cherry-red convertible.

· Just probably don't do this plan at all. Style points, though!
