PA Man Arrested in NY Carrying Terrifying Arsenal and Note: ‘I Want to Die in Combat So I Can Go to

A Pennsylvania man was arrested in New York on wednesday after police pulled him over for driving the wrong way down a one-way street in the West Village.

Inside 46-year-old Victor Greer’s vehicle, police found a shocking array of weaponry: a 25-round capacity .22 caliber magazine, partially loaded, two unloaded assault rifles, an AR-15 Cold M 14, and a .45 -caliber Hi Point Model 4595, a loaded 12-gauge shotgun, an unloaded 9 mm. semi-automatic handgun, several hundred additional rounds of ammunition, some weed, and for some reason, a bottle rocket.

Sad. Obviously in need of therapy and probably meds.

its sure sounds like extremists to me...so would you think those in the Middle East have mental health issues too.

Well when he is convicted for the weapons charges in NY he'll have time to reevaluate his thinking. He only was stopped because of the traffic violation, thats chance.

Is it possible to build a jetpack using downward firing machine guns?



As it turns out, the AK-47 has a thrust-to-weight ratio of around two. This means if you stood it on end and somehow taped down the trigger (Note: Please, PLEASE do not try this at home) it would rise into the air while firing.

...who needs help. O-o-o Kay.

What does Doxy think should be done? Round up all people with mental problems? Confiscate all bottle rockets from vets? Take away car keys if you have a mental problems? You leave yourself wide open to charges of discrimination against folks with mental illness.
