In the video below, the artist known as Boonk Gang pulls out a handgun and a wad of cash at a radio interview. Who he? For that kind of intel there’s really only one reliable source: knowyourmeme.com . . .

Boonk Gang is the online pseudonym of South Florida resident John Robert Hill, who gained much online notoriety for posting footage of himself performing stunts and committing various crimes on Instagram.
On April 10th, the @boonk.ig Instagram feed was launched, with the first video featuring Hill going behind the counter at a Popeye’s Chicken fast food restaurant to steal a box of fried chicken. Within four months, the video gathered upwards of 1.22 million views.
On July 27th, Hill posted a video of himself throwing milkshakes on himself in a Chik-Fil-A restaurant and removing his clothes to celebrate reaching one million followers on Instagram.
I think Boonk is one of those poor unfortunate souls who failed to heed Kurt Vonnegut’s admonition: “We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.”
I mean, you don’t “pretend” to wave a gun around, especially with your finger on the trigger. That’s completely, irredeemably, irresponsible, even if it is postmodern performance art.
If the YouTube sensation had done that in front of me I’d bonk Boonk on the noggin, STAT. As it is I can only award him TTAG IGOTD award (from the safety and comfort of TTAG’s above ground bunker). Which I’m sure Mr. Hill will protest with suitably fake/real indignation.
Uhm, if he is out on bail over the whole waving a gun around in a fast food place isn’t he ineligible anyways? This is happening in Florida too, I would think he’s just begging for someone to plug him.
I’ve had 6 Tauri that ran fine…just break them in thoroughly. Didn’t feel the TCP was “enough” though I had no problems with it. Still have to shoot the 7th Taurus- a SS Ultralite 85 I got the wife for Christmas(HER choice)…
On Pills and Guns ….. Pennsylvania Governor Wolf issued an ” Emergency declaration ” on the opioid problem. —- Trouble is , a State of Emergency now limits LAWFUL gun owners Rights. — No Open Carry , for starters. It will also hurt the NRA Outdoor Show in Harrisburg in Febuary.
( I’m sure Dems. regret this …../s/ )

I want to see a picture of the nickel, if it is not glossy I’m onboard.
I see a short life in his short future.
Coyotes are a nuisance, period. Rack up the body count.
The admittedly out of practice blacksmith in me wonders if I could program a Ghostgunner to machine this out of a billet.
If so I bet I could build one of these for cheaper…including the cost of setting up a forge and the GG.
Here’s another candidate for “Irresponsible Gun Owner of the Day” that just broke an hour ago –
“Police: Lumberton officer shot after ‘accidental weapon discharge’
“Lumberton, N.C. (WPDE) — Police were dispatched to a shooting Friday night at the intersection of Peterson Road and Fayetteville Road in Lumberton near Peterson Toyota, according to officials on scene.
Captain Terry Parker with Lumberton Police said there was “an accidental weapon discharge resulting in a Lumberton Police Department Officer being shot.””

Green group wanted to National Park to catch, de-sex and release feral cats last year. Rather than trapping or shooting.
As someone at the meeting put it ” their killing wildlife not f***** it”.
Never underestimate stupidity.
Perhaps, the downfall of civilization will end up being “casual” thinking, I.e. the inability to think things through.
Here, it is assumed that the person with a gun is “bad” and the person without a visible gun is “good”. Unfortunately, the reality is the officer isn’t able to rely on such a simple minded decision tree. Armed or not, you follow the officer’s instructions to put your hands up or you’ll likely regret it as the officer has no idea how many shooters there are, what they look like or whether the shooter(s) are concealing a firearm and hiding themselves among the survivors.
While everyone has moments of idiocy, I regret the advances of medical science occasionally. Medicine has made the consequences of stupidity less severe/fatal and perhaps that’s not always a good thing…
This picture gives me hope. The girl on the left is obviously well informed and fully aware of the danger of interacting with wolves. The girl on the right decided to take that awareness even further – she is prepared for an encounter with a predator. And is able to protect her friend if the need arises. I think I’m going to hang this in my office – perfect harmony.
