Mock Terrorism? Who knows anymore.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\u00a0Mock Terrorism. \u00a0It sounds dumber when spoken than it does written here. \u00a0But I kid you not, this is something our country needs to look out for. \u00a0Michael Turley from Phoenix, Arizona, decided to make terrorism watch his job after the shooting at the Auora, Colorado movie theater.<\/a>\u00a0The 39 year old cinematographer and photographer filmed a short video with his 16 year old nephew to “test” the Phoenix police. \u00a0He first dressed his nephew in a blue sheet made to look like a toga. \u00a0Put a ski mask on him and armed him with a fake grenade\/rocket launcher. \u00a0They then, paraded around the busiest streets in Phoneix pointing their weapon at citizens passing by. \u00a0The point was to stir up some emotions in the people walking by and to time how long it would take for Phoenix police to come to the scene. \u00a0Passersby called police to inform them of the situation even though they assumed it was a joke and were not really threatened. \u00a0When asked what they were doing with a fake grenade\/rocket launcher they said they were making a movie. \u00a0Um?<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Little did Phoenix police know, that the video<\/a> would be put up on Youtube for the whole world to see. \u00a0Maybe two months later, after the video was posted, police went to Mr. Turley’s house and arrested him for false impression of a terrorist act, endangerment, contributing to the delinquency of a minor, and misconduct.<\/a>\u00a0 The worst part about this mock terrorism is that Mr. Turley wanted to, “find out how safe” he really is by using his 16 year old nephew! \u00a0Arizona is lenient on their gun laws so any “threatened” citizen could have taken action and blown away the 16 year old. \u00a0Mr. Turley wanted to send a strong message and get his point across to the public but he\u00a0unfortunately\u00a0hurt his cause. \u00a0The video posted received more dislikes than likes and the comments below just show how people view his stupidity. \u00a0He put a minor in danger and thought it was a good idea to belittle his police enforcement. \u00a0If he was trying to prove a point he failed. \u00a0In no way do I feel safer knowing this guy was on the street posing as terrorist. \u00a0If anything I need to be on my guard for more mock terrorists in togas and ski masks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
