Guest guest Posted August 23, 2001 Report Share Posted August 23, 2001 Most people may beat themselves up verbally after losing all of their money in a gambling casino. However, Broos took it to the extreme when he roughed himself up in the parking lot, then called police to report that he was robbed. The 57-year-old Minnesota man had the bumps and bruises to prove the alleged attack, however, didn't have the proper vision to see that he was being video-taped the whole time. Broos was arrested and now faces charges of misdemeanor obstruction. Now the real kick in the head is that in addition to the money he lost at the casino, Broos may have to pay $10,000 in fines and could serve up to nine months in jail. <><><><> Only in Canada would someone ask their friend to shoot him, not once but twice, to test a bullet proof vest. The man from Swan River, Manitoba put on the vest and asked his friend to shoot him in the! chest with a 22 caliber rifle while a third man videoed the experiment. Then, he asked him to shoot him again, this time with a 12-gauge shotgun in the back. He put a telephone book under the vest due to the gun's greater firepower, but still suffered cracked ribs and bruises. The men face a firearm prohibition hearing in January to consider whether they should be allowed to handle guns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
