Armed police surround home after workers call cops over ‘gun’ in shirtless man’s waistband… that turns out to be a life-size TATTOO
- Michael Smith’s gun tattoo was mistaken for real weapon
- Utility crew notifies authorities that man had a gun in Norridgewock, Maine
- Authorities surrounded man’s house with assault rifles
|
One resident got a rude awakening when police with assault rifles surrounded his home after a tree removal crew mistakenly reported he had a gun.
Michael Smith, of Norridgewock, Maine, was woken up by the authorities when a crew contacted by a utility company to trim branches near some power lines notified the police at 10am on Tuesday.
Smith went outside shirtless to yell at the crew to leave, exposing a life-sized tattoo of a gun he had on his stomach.

The workers mistook it for an actual weapon, and notified authorities to the home located off Ward Hill Road.
Smith was not charged and said the tattoo has never been a problem before. Smith has multiple tattoos, including several covering his left arm.
‘Obviously it was a misunderstanding and he didn’t have a weapon, but we had to respond to the initial report as if he did,’ Maine State police trooper Scott Duff told the Morning Sentinel.
Smith, who works nights, said it sounded like someone was driving up his driveway and crushing a thick layer of ice on it.
He went outside to tell the crew to leave his property, and they told him no problem. But one worker said he thought he noticed a pistol in Smith’s waistband.
Duff said he didn’t think Smith went outside with his shirt off deliberately to make it appear he was carrying a gun.
‘I got plans today. I didn’t want to get shot,’ Smith told the Morning Sentinel.

HOW TO CALL THE POLICE WHEN YOU’RE OLD, and smarter
George Phillips, an elderly man from Walled Lake, Michigan, was going up to bed, when his wife told him that he’d left the light on in the garden shed, which she could see from the bedroom window. George opened the back door to go turn off the light, but saw that there were people in the shed stealing things.He phoned the police, who asked “Is someone in your house?”
He said “No,” but some people are breaking into my garden shed and stealing from me.
Then the police dispatcher said “All patrols are busy. You should lock your doors and an officer will be along when one is available”
George said, “Okay.”
He hung up the phone and counted to 30. Then he phoned the police again.
“Hello, I just called you a few seconds ago because there were people stealing things from my shed. Well, you don’t have to worry about them now because I just shot and killed them both; the dogs are eating them right now,” and he hung up.
Within five minutes, six Police Cars, a SWAT Team, a Helicopter, two Fire Trucks, a Paramedic and an Ambulance showed up at the Phillips’ residence, and caught the burglars red-handed.
One of the Policemen said to George, “I thought you said that you’d shot them!”
George said, “I thought you said there was nobody available!”
(True Story)
How fucking stoopid do ya have to be to mistake a 2-D tattoo with an actual gun??
Operator: “9-1-1. What’s your emergency?”
Caller: “There’s a man here with a real big dick coming right out of his arm!!!”

you don’t have that tattoo unless you are looking to intimidate people
the irrational fear is palpable, it’s truly sickening, i am surprised that they didn’t deploy any MRAP’s.
If an 18 year old kid got that same tattoo and it became visible (he lifted his arms and his shirt came up a few inches to reveal it) in high school i wonder would happen. lockdown over body ink
that kid that got his arm broken was acting like a animal in the beginning of the video but it looks to me from teh direction the cop was trying to force his arm, he meant to break it.
but that’s just $0.02 from harry p. resident copfuk hater, so take it for what its worth.
stucky,
all i can say is, hahahahaha
Not sure whether to file this under “fascist police” or “nature weeding out the stupid”. I guess I’ll make a copy and put one in each file.
It’s a stupid response… but judging from the tattoos on his left arm, he’s probably not Mr. Friendly.
In the long (long, long, long) trail of police abuses, this is barely a footnote.
Maybe the tree trimmers were non-arian and saw the nazi tats on his left arm. Figures, the one time cops don’t shoot an unarmed man who was reported to have a gun, he’s nazi trash. Hell, that’s probably WHY the cops didn’t shoot him.
Guess I’m just wondering what the difference would have been if it HAD been a real gun. So what if he’s got a pistol tucked in his waistband? If he’s not waving it around threatening to shoot anyone, and owns/carries it legally, what business is it of any ones?
Reminds me of that story I told about our field manager who wears a Ruger on his hip… just because someone has a gun on him doesn’t make him a danger. Stupid, freaking idiots out there.
Open carry is legal in Maine. So, even if it was a gun, what law was he breaking, and why were the copfuks responding at all? Even if it was concealed, he was on his own property, so same question. Even if he had it in his hand, same question. Maybe if he actually pointed it at the workers it might have been a crime.
What a load of crap.
Thinker, you beat me to it by about three seconds. What a fine thinker you are.
match of the millennium… a government of stupid versus a nation of dumb.
Great minds, Llpoh…
My question is how they scrambled a swat team in rural Maine like it was routine business over the sight of a possible handgun. Can someone explain to me how this is a good use of resources. I like the all black jumpsuit with the “assault” rifle look. It gives me that good old home Maine felling. Also what of the jerk-off utility guys. “They” really have brainwashed some people into snitching on there fellow residents. Why would I call the police because I thought I saw someone with a gun on his own property.
True story, I work up the street from the Burlington Mall here in Massachusetts. A guy was legally exchanging a gun, handing over to some else at the mall. Yes, a stupid move I agree, but the reaction was both overwhelming and frightening. I happen to be leaving the mall as the police started to arrive. In less than two minutes time I saw no less than 12 police cars and SUVs. By the time I made it back to my office, 1.5 miles up the road, I heard they had the entire mall in lock-down and there was a helicopter flying above. This is where our government has chosen to spend much of our resources, to be able to lock us down in an instant. Even in rural Maine. Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide. This will not end well.
Bob,
I’m not sure it is a true story Jim but it is funny!

I thought all nipple ring wearing , neo nazis were from south of the Mason Dixon line. Maybe Maine isn’t such a bad place after all.
POZ,
You have to get up to northern Maine, there are some very interesting characters up there. My brother about 45 minutes from the coast, half way up, very rural. I met his neighbors at a pig roast, extremely nice and generous to a fault.They all look out for each other. Looks like a good bug out place, only too cold for my tastes. Maine is funny, a lot of people on welfare and a lot of people who want nothing to do with the government.
Bob.
Meanwhile, while cops were harassing some tattooed dumbshit, little Sally was practicing for the coming civil war with a real gun….

Sorry, but I can’t hear the facts over the sound of how stupid the dude is in the pics with a WWII German army breast eagle on his bicep, along with the lame iron cross and skull and whatever else. Dude looks like a complete redneck idiot from central casting.
Apparently, he’s only halfway committed to the cause, since he didn’t just tattoo FUCK YOU on his forehead, like some of the brilliant people we see in pics on this site. Like this guy:

If you’re going to get a 70 year old German army breast eagle tattooed on you, why not go the full 9 and just get it on your breast? Shoot, get a real one and sew it on. Show us all how tough you really are-get a steel one and blood pin that sucker on!
With the kind of intellect it takes to get those AWESOME! tattoos, I’m sure the cops have seen this guy before. I bet he’s got a record. I bet he also has a great job, too, probably cooking and selling recreational pharmaceuticals. So it probably didn’t seem too off the wall to finally have to go put down the Wacko on Ward Hill Road. He carries a pretend gun on him at all times. He might even have a few real ones, so I’m not surprised the cops went Waco on him. The irony of the whole thing is, based on the pictures, it looks like white trash vs. white trash. [img

“Here’s another male cliché… these guys that cut the sleeves off of their t-shirts so the rest of us can have an even more compelling experience of smelling their armpits. I say “Hey Bruno, shut it down would you please? You smell like an anchovy’s cunt okay? Ughh… not good… ugh… ugh… whoa… not good Bruno, and definitely not for sharing.” This is the same kind of guy that has that barbed wire tattoo that goes all the way around the bicep. You’ve seen that haven’t you? That’s just what I need; some guy who hasn’t been laid since the bicentennial wants me to think he’s a “baaad motherfucka” because he’s got a picture… aha ha… a painting of some barbed wire on his- I say “hey junior, come around when you have the real thing on there, I’ll squeeze that shit on good and tight for ya okay?” No kidding, no kidding, this is the same kind of guy, that if you smashed him in the face 8 or 9 times with a big chunk of concrete, and then beat him over the head with a steel rod for an hour and a half, you know what? He dropped like a fucking rock. Like a rock.”

OOPS! Sorry, HERE’S a FUCK YOU guy.

We’re gonna arm forest rangers. Because we don’t have enough psyco authorities wielding firearms.
HR 297-SUMMARY
This bill repeals 2 provisions of Public Law 1999, chapter 352 that require the Commissioner of Conservation to sell all bulletproof vests, firearms and related equipment and that prohibit the commissioner from purchasing bulletproof vests, firearms or related equipment without specific authorization by the Legislature. This bill requires the Director of the Division of Forestry within the Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry to develop a policy that requires all forest rangers to attend and complete a law enforcement training course at the Maine Criminal Justice Academy as a condition of continued employment. Forest rangers employed as such on the day this bill takes effect are required to attend the 4-week preservice training course and forest rangers hired after the effective date are required to take the basic law enforcement training course. A forest ranger who has already attended a law enforcement training course at the Maine Criminal Justice Academy is exempt.
The bill also requires the State Supervisor of the forest protection unit in the Division of Forestry and the director of the Maine Criminal Justice Academy to develop a plan to provide training to forest rangers in the use of firearms, bulletproof vests and other related equipment. The State Supervisor is directed to develop a plan to furnish such firearms and equipment to those forest rangers for the performance of their law enforcement duties. The plans must be submitted to the Joint Standing Committee on Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry and the Joint Standing Committee on Criminal Justice and Public Safety for review no later than November 1, 2013 and implemented, including furnishing firearms and related equipment, no later than January 1, 2014.

llpoh, it really isn’t that cold up here unless you live in the vast northern interior. vermont, upstate ny, the midwestern states are colder. the true ball buster is the length of the winter. we have a saying up here, that our four seasons are: 1) winter 2) still winter 3) summer and 4) getting ready for winter.
but i wouldn’t trade our long winters for the south’s brutal hot and humid summers. i attended a wedding in savannah a decade ago. i thought i was going to die it was so fucking humid and hot. i could barely fucking breathe. it was the beginning of june and it was 95 degrees and balls humid. the elevator guy at the hotel took one look at me, sweating profusely, and laughed his ass off. he said this was nothing, that it was a lull in the heat.
fuck that. to each his own i guess.
I was upset way back when Klinton let all feds carry a gun, but when it comes to forestry service-I’m not sure it’s a bad idea. I wouldn’t want to see the friendly folks in the green with the smokey bear hats at the gates to the park packing, but I’ve been reading how the parks and national forests are becoming giant pot grow operations, complete with rifle-toting jerkoffs and booby traps. I met a soldier once who was training in the Uwharrie(sp?) National Forest. He told me his unit encountered a heavily armed militia unit doing their own maneuvers up there. Also, for those who never visited the border, you ought to see what it’s like in AZ. The illegals can be armed and are not deterred by cops. They openly trespass onto military bases and nobody cares. The border patrol runs around at night in the national parks down there with NVGs, assault rifles, and camo on ATVs looking for illegals with big 15 person vans waiting nearby to haul off their nightly take. If you’re a forestry service guy down there, I would think a gun would be a must-have. You never know what kind of crazy stuff they might encounter in the backwoods.
Oh, ick. You all nasty. May the Great Pug Buddha forsake me, if I ever did anything so disgusting to my body.
I was honestly surprised to hear that the forestry service didn’t already carry sidearms. Those are good points. I’m not sure I disagree with you, the argument against it is that they will then be considered back up for the cops and will become a part of law enforcement.
I’ll also note:
Other bills about arming rangers came before the Legislature in 1997, 1999, 2000 and 2001, but they were heard in the Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry Committee, which oversees MFS and is familiar with rangers and their work. In contrast, Criminal Justice has oversight over law enforcement issues and several committee members have law enforcement experience.
Anyway you slice it, its another sing of the fourth turning.
Maine is where Minnesotans go for spring break.
LMFAO GREAT THREAD
Stucky I am getting concerned…..you’re posting a number of cock pics. What’s up?
Calling the police? Were they trying to get the poor guy killed? NEVER, EVER, EVER call the police.
