Updated from my January 18th post: Busted!
The FBI arrested McManus Friday night on a charge of stolen valor. From the linked article:HOUSTON (KTRK) -- He looks like a soldier. He says he's a soldier. But he's not a soldier. And now he is facing charges for lying about his resume. When we started asking questions, so did the FBI.
The man, who the FBI says is nothing but a fraud, even showed up in a military uniform at Houston Mayor Annise Parker's inauguration. The problem is that he didn't earn any of the medals he was wearing.
Michael Patrick McManus was arrested Friday night after a federal judge signed a warrant for his arrest. The FBI says he was arrested without incident.
McManus faces a year in prison if convicted. That doesn't seem like quite enough to me... but it's better than nothing, I suppose.
h/t: Mrs. Greyhawk. The image, too.
Damn, that's good. Let's see how ironic that little shit feels about the joint.
ReplyDeleteAnd I agree, 20 years would be more like it.
About freakin' time. One year just isn't enough. Then again, I say turn him over to the military he dishonors with his impersonations and let them choose his punishment.
ReplyDeleteCould be fun viewing.
That's good news. But, the article states, " He looks like a soldier." ???
ReplyDeleteI'll shut up.
Did you dig the CIA ballcap with BG star and the little award pin? This idiot never learns.
ReplyDeleteI get really uncomfortable seeing anyone be a poseur wearing unearned anything. It ain't a joke.
What say as a punishment we get a leather jacket and add some 1%'er insignia and send him into the prison yard.
Tie him to the ship's wheel and use a Cat-'O-Nine Tails!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSavage? Yes. But I would guess effective and a deterrent to others of his kind.
Hooah!
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm with Andy -- "looks like a soldier?" In whose Army? Pauly Shore's?
As if.
Rob: Agreed.
ReplyDeleteKris: A year in Leavenworth might be the best option, seeing as how it's only a year.
Andy: Yeah, I get your drift.
Darryl: I saw that CIA hat and had the same sorts of thoughts.
Glenn: And then send him to Leavenworth. Or Portsmouth, assuming it's still open.
Moogie: Heh.
ReplyDeleteHappy day.
ReplyDeleteBeing a Catholic, I'm always in favor of cutting the belly open, and letting the bowls hit the charcoal.
ReplyDeleteThat should be 1 year for each device worn.

ReplyDeleteWhat a FINE idea!
Morgan: Yup.
Glad they caught the turd.
ReplyDeleteThey should drop his ass in a war zone with a rubber rifle.
BR: I still think Leavenworth would be the best option. Life ain't easy there.
