Sum Tin Wong…

How do you just happen to drive a fully functional widow maker from Julian, Ca. across the entire United States and it doesn’t throw up a red flag until you set foot in Washington D.C.?

I mean I get it, we’ve all been there, but I figured I wouldn’t even make it out of my cul-de-sac.



quote:

A California Vietnamese-American tattoo artist who spent months building a giant guillotine that he said was for "self-defense" was arrested on Aug. 25 outside the U.S. Capitol.

Philan Tam Duy Le, 35, had driven it across the country to D.C. He visited the FBI Headquarters and the Capitol before parking illegally outside. Le, who also plays bass in the doom metal band "Queen Burial," had been posting about leftist politics on social media.

I have always thought that a guillotine made an excellent self defense weapon. Why would anyone want a knife, sword, or gun when they could carry a guillotine around with them!!

Best response in the whole thread…

Lol. Unless someone actually watches this guy stepping out of some kind of time portal or rift wearing a suit of armor and carrying a guillotine on a cart pulled by a horse then you would think carrying a guillotine around would draw attention. I don’t know call me crazy but I think I would notice something like that.

I blame it on the doom metal.

Though the French did colonize Vietnam…

This guy drove from California to DC. You would think odds are at least one cop would get behind this fool and be curious enough to pull him over and ask Sir where are you taking the giant guillotine? What are you going to do with it when you get there? This guy doesn’t look like he makes deliveries to museums.

And I’m sure it did most days, “well honey, that’s not something you see everyday or century for that matter.”

Lol. I don’t know if it’s illegal to own and carry a guillotine around or not. You would at least think if a cop did see this guy they could at least confiscate the thing to keep him from hurting himself or others.

The Capitol/Keystone Police cited him for being illegally parked.

This story is one for the books for sure. It takes all types I guess.

All because Democrats and the corporate media outlets LIED when showing a prop at J6 and passed it off as an authentic working threat to members of Congress.

The gallows were like 1/4 scale, if that, and a threat to no one.


A guillotine isn't by any stretch 'self defense'


Build a Trebuchet and I'll respect you, at least.

But was it a high capacity, assault guillotine?

My guillotine is too big for close quarters self defense.

I need to get a small one like his for the bedside table.

Lord, the loonytunes are coming out of the woodwork. Next thing,I expect some lunatic on this site will suggest he use it to chop off the head of MAGA's. And there are some out there crazy enough to attempt that. Deport more, not less.

The demons are dancing in the streets.
