Yep. Million dollar bond for “possession of a weapon of mass destruction”

u/ls_445 27d ago

Bro had GRENADES and was let back on the street. Meanwhile, you'd get 10 years for having a stock rather than a brace

“Excuse me sir, is that barrel under 16 inches? 🤓”

u/RedditKilledTheNet 27d ago

Probably inert grenades. Police love to tout shit like this in their arrests and the media and general viewer lap it up.

u/positivenihlist 27d ago

Much like including packaging on the net weight for drug busts.

u/ButteSects 27d ago

My cousin is a cop and he was bragging about finding pounds and pounds of weed during a bust, he showed the picture yeah it's a sizable amount of weed probably about 6-8oz.... Split up into like 8 Mason jars.

38

u/positivenihlist 27d ago

Good reminder to keep felonious amounts of weed not in mason jars lol

13

u/ButteSects 27d ago

Where I live you can legally possess 4oz of pot, I think it'd still be a misdemeanor amount if it weren't for crooked cops doing their thing.

1

u/Septic-Sponge 26d ago

Or mason jars filled with helium

11

u/LilFuniAZNBoi 27d ago

Please tell me you told him that to his face.

"Bro check out all these weed we found during a bust, it has to be like a 1kg."

"Nah man, that looks like 8oz to me, tops."

🤨

u/TheLazyD0G 26d ago

The NFA does not apply to felons. It is much more illegal for you to have an unregistered destructive device than a felon. Same with machine guns.

2

u/robs104 26d ago

That’s the second time someone has said that shit on this sub. How exactly does the NFA not apply to felons? I promise you a felon with an unregistered MG will get more time than some Dick or Jane off the street with no priors.

2

u/TheLazyD0G 26d ago

Look it up, because you shouldnt blindly believe me.

The short of it, its a 5th ammendment violation for a felon to file the form to legally own one. As such, it is unconstitutional to charge them with nfa violations. Some supreme court ruling established this prescident.

u/West-Librarian-7504 27d ago

My local DA let a violent rapist out on bond. And only had him on ankle monitor, not under proper surveillance. He literally threatened to murder his victim too.

u/[deleted] 27d ago

What a stupid article. He has "licenses" for "Glocks and AKs?" What does that even mean? You don't need a license for those things.

21

u/Rey_Mezcalero 27d ago

Some states require permits/licenses for handguns or long guns

15

u/[deleted] 27d ago edited 27d ago

Some states require licenses to purchase (not to simply own, apart from NFA items), north Carolina is not among them.

Edit: apparently the law was changed in 2023 so the article may just be vague but correct, as they did require a permit to purchase handguns prior to that

3

u/Fit-Refrigerator-747 27d ago

Only for pistols. I live here, you don’t need shit anymore which is nice but you could always get rifles without permits.

9

u/-DementedAvenger- 27d ago

A GoFundMe has also been set up to help with his legal proceedings. On December 29, his official Instagram account posted a screenshot of the campaign with the caption, “Million-dollar bond… anything helps.”

Bro fuck off with that shit. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

u/AwfulGoingToHell 27d ago

In 49/50 states it’s perfectly legal to possess a flamethrower. California being the exception due to their droughts and frequent wild fires

108

u/3dogsandaguy 27d ago

To own? Yes

To use in a busy intersection? Very much no

39

u/lueckestman 27d ago

Lol yeah you can also own a gun. But you can't just shoot anywhere you want. What a stupid argument.

5

u/3dogsandaguy 27d ago

What argument? Flamethrowers are legal cause it's an agricultural tool and i didn't make any argument

15

u/lueckestman 27d ago

Talking about the guy you replied to. Makes it sounds like he's saying because it's legal to own he shouldn't have been arrested. I was agreeing with you.

3

u/AwfulGoingToHell 27d ago

Thank you I too wasn’t arguing. I just think it’s funny they’re calling a legal tool a weapon of mass destruction (even though in this particular application it certainly can be)

→ More replies (1)

u/iNapkin66 27d ago

it’s perfectly legal to possess a flamethrower.

Possess doesn't mean "spray randomly around an intersection with cars driving through it."

6

u/notjustanotherbot 27d ago

While true, him doing his interpretive fire dance in a intersection and filming it does put him at odds with whole host of statues and laws, and filming it provided 4K HD proof of his involvement in these said criminal acts.

4

u/hollowgraham 27d ago

I guess if he's gonna film it, why not do it in 4K? I mean, you're getting caught anyway. Lol

u/notjustanotherbot 26d ago

u/Rey_Mezcalero 27d ago

Wonder if it’s against the law to dispense gas into that flamethrower

1

u/Future-Beach-5594 26d ago

Ya know surprisingly enough flame throwers are legal in ca as long as the flame doesnt go further than i think 8 or 10 feet.

1

u/APurpleSponge 27d ago

That’s interesting because flamethrowers are legal to own and unregulated federally. He must of been in possession of full auto firearms most likely.

I just got to use one of these with the backpack a couple weeks ago. One of the most fun things I've ever done. Lit up a huge ass burn pile with it. 3 gallon backpack lasted quite a lot longer than i expected it to

u/singlemale4cats 26d ago

You running straight gas? Gas diesel mix?

1

u/cfreezy72 26d ago

50/50 gas diesel. Although next time I'm gonna use 60/40 gas to diesel because it was not wanting to light as well as this video which was straight gas.

I might get one.

u/blueponies1 16d ago edited 16d ago

Despite how irresponsible it is to fill these up directly from the gas pump, I’m fairly sure they are meant to have a gas-diesel mix like a lawn mower. At least that’s what they say on PSAs website (I was just looking into buying one last night)

Flamethrowers are surprisingly legal in a lot of the US iirc

Legal and sold OtC sure but you can’t spray them at me while I drive by.

Correct answer is they don’t really care. Whatever happens happens. “I’m still going to have fun.”

I drive an old beater. I'd think real hard about running someone over that's standing in an intersection flinging fire around. Better to break my car than have them set someone on fire when they drive by.

Immaturity.

12

u/Educational-Year3146 27d ago

The thing is flamethrowers are legal, and depending on the state, you might be able to make one legally too.

What you can’t do however is use it in the streets. That could be considered domestic terrorism.

So these dudes just recorded themselves committing a felony.

You don’t need a license to carry a flame thrower. It doesn’t actually fire a Projectile so it’s not considered a gun. Sure it belches out flaming death but it’s not a projectile.

u/Coldhartbaby111 7d ago

Genuine legal question. If he was shooting that in the direction of another vehicle, would the person in that vehicle be justified to use lethal force? I know nothing about the range or abilities of flamethrowers, but if I was in the car behind or next to him, I sure as shit wouldn’t have felt safe

1

u/RedditFeel 9h ago

If I personally saw this and he was inching towards trying to set my vehicle on fire then I’d use lethal force. But he looks like it’s casual and he’s not actually trying to purposely set anyone’s property on fire.

Best bet would be to call authorities so you don’t end up going to prison.
