The guy on the left is Jerome Brandl, being led into the Queens Central Booking facility in NYC yesterday. He was extradited to New York for posing as a firefighter to scam FDNY and city residents out of charity gifts from 9/11.

Words cannot express how much shit this guy is in right now.

Let me clarify a little: The man is being charged for posing as a firefighter (a capital offense in most NYC resident's minds) to scam New Yorkers out of charity (even worse) from 9/11 (Inconceivable) in Queens. (Dead man walkin')

If he gets off on a technicality, he will never be able to walk New York again. Believe it.

My dad's a FDNY Lieutenant (no, I'm not fucking around) and just by looking at the guy you can tell he's not a NYC firefighter. He's a pussified out of shape looking guy who probably works in a cube all day.

FDNY firefighters are usually husky big fellas or burly muscle dudes. Carrying people down ladders over each shoulder on a daily basis can do that.

I wonder if Nike is paying his legal defense? :)

Seriously though. What a shitbag.

I saw a few other photos of him across the web and noticed that he has a Hitler-esque moustache. Did Hitler convert to Buddhism in his last moments...?

Guess he shaved? Heh. Probably didn't want the Hitler-esque moustache for court :) Judge can't look too highly on that :) Or rather, wouldn't give him points for it :)

Maybe his goal was to so piss off the judge and jury, that they'd suffer creative overload in trying to punish him.

Either way, he's a shitbag.
