Man 'armed to the max' with an assault rifle and pistol who was trying to pass as a member of the National Guard is arrested during George Floyd protests in Los Angeles


A man carrying two guns including an assault rifle 'loaded to the max' was arrested after trying to pose as a member of the National Guard in Los Angeles, police said.

Gregory Wong, 31, was arrested outside city hall in Los Angeles on Tuesday after genuine National Guard troops noticed something was wrong about his uniform.

He was held on suspicion of illegal possession of an assault weapon and for impersonating a National Guard member, according to Fox News.

Wong, who according to his personal website is a former US Army Paratrooper, had a night scope on his helmet and was also wielding the correct National Guard pistol.

Cops and at least 4,500 National Guard troops were on the streets in Los Angeles responding to protesters who were out in force across the country for a ninth straight day after the death of George Floyd.

6. It was Gregory Wongs

And covered in pics of him in various armors and weapons load outs. Few political posts except for vague pro-police messages. Hes either a military fetishist or a total whack job. Likely trying to provoke or murder someone.

7. He's probably both.

8. Facebook took it down after the fact

They are lucky he didn't slaughter scores of people.

Here's the problem - media cannot be simply for profit. Social Media are interested in nothing but profit - they research how to make money - the only facts they care about are how to make money. If hate sells, so be it.

I am so glad that I never signed up.

14. I faced down family pressure to stay on Facebook.

Well, more whining, actually....


Hope more people will realize what it has turned into.

15. My siblings tried that with me

I refused to give in. I am glad. Same with twitter

2. Go easy on him! The incel just wanted to play Army Men.

4. Says he works at Jurassic Park?

Playing at being a mass shooter.

5. Shoulda gone to DC, Gregory

That's where the armed military presence is covering up their identification and insignia. Nobody could possibly pick you out of the grim line of nameless faceless. You'd have had free rein to shoot folks there. Tactical mistake, good buddy.

9. His uniforms

look highly suspect. Old tricolor desert camo with current optics and weapons magazines. US flag patches on both shoulders. That odd green flag on his chest. I’m at least 90% sure this guy is a poser.


- 20 year Army retiree.

12. He kinda looks like someone covered him in glue

And rolled him through a surplus store.

10. This why police and military are required to wear uniforms and obvious official insignia or badges

identifying who and what they are:

Genuine National Guard members reportedly noticed that the patches Wong wore on his uniform did not match his alleged length of service, a source told the Los Angeles Times.

Glad they caught him before he had a chance to hurt anybody.

11. former US Army Paratrooper...

I'm a former Air Force Green Beret back when I was with the 101st SEAL Team.

Funny I don't remember him at our reunions

16. You probably haven't heard of it

My job was a 1st Battalion Unit Landing Leader, Special Helicopter Intelligence Terrorist Extraction Reconnaissance.

We actually caught bin Laden in Afghanistan twice but had to let him go to keep our identity secret.
