Three backwoods gun nuts were busted on their way to play vigilante in New York City — while riding in a pickup truck loaded with weapons and plastered with their love of the Second Amendment, law-enforcement sources said.This is the truck that they were driving:
John Cramsey, 50, of rural Zionsville, Pa. — a militant anti-heroin crusader who is said to have used aggressive tactics to save at least a dozen people from drug dens — claims he was racing to Brooklyn with two pals to rescue a female drug user they believed had been kidnapped.
The gun-range owner never completed his mission. Cramsey — along with his buddy Dean Smith and the supposedly kidnapped woman’s friend Kimberly Arendt, 29 — were stopped by cops on the New Jersey side of the Holland Tunnel for a cracked windshield at around 7:40 a.m. Tuesday.
Those three chuckleheads got into a truck that had pro-gun right stuff all over it and drove the truck into two of the most gun-hostile states in the Union. The only way that it could have been worse is if they detoured through Maryland and ended up in Boston.
They might have well loaded up a car with heroin and wrapped it with a signs that read "Just Say 'Yes' to Drugs". UPDATE 2021: Cramsey went to prison after pleading it out. The other two went into a pre-trial diversionary program.
I just flashed on a Cheech & Chong line: "Let's drive 5 miles an hour so we don't attract attention, man!"
ReplyDeleteLove the Tonka logo.
I wish that "gun enthusiasts" like this would stop "helping" the Cause.
ReplyDeleteJeeze didn't these guys ever watch any 80's action crime drama? you don't go rescue folks from the bad guys in a Ninja-turtle edition Dodge brodozer. You either get your friend to help you in return for you helping him get his stolen big rig back, if you're in Chinatown. Or you hire some older English gentleman who drives a black Jaguar XJ6.
ReplyDeleteWorse they drove into NYC which make NY states look tame on guns.
ReplyDeleteNYC prohibits nearly everything and permits only go to the privileged
or those paid to protect them.
Idjits they are.
Eck!
I like the Tonka stickers.
