Truth is stranger than fiction, as breaking news makes abundantly clear.
In one of the most bizarre cases to occur recent times, a federal court sentenced Eric Feight, a 57 year-old New York resident, to 8 years in prison for conspiring to use a weapon of mass destruction to kill Muslims. Feight’s weapon of choice? A remote-controlled laser gun built out of an X-ray machine.
According to authorities, Feight’s plan was to load the device into his van and operate it remotely so as to kill Muslims from a distance. Although he had already tested the remote control component of his weapon by the time of his arrest, he had failed to procure a source of radiation for it.
Law enforcement only became aware of Feight’s scheme due in no small part to an informant in the Ku Klux Klan who reported that he approached the group asking for their assistance.

8 years for planning the use of a fictional weapon ? lol
Never seen or heard of Cray gun
there are some who might suggest a medal.
The perfect assassin’s weapon. Nearly silent, leaves no traces, victim doesn’t even know he has a problem until days or weeks after it is used.
That’s Despicable
That’s disappointing.
Giving up a few budweiser vans to support this cause wouldn’t be too bad.
Obama released the prisoners.. so there is plenty of room for fictional criminals..lol
Kill or be killed let the man go.
X-rays don’t travel far in the air. Or am I wrong?
