Humanitarian’s Plans To Use Fireworks To Teach The Federal Reserve A Lesson Stymied By Cops

By

Authorities detained Glenn Neff, 27, after they spotted him in a red Jeep Cherokee that was parked in an isolated part of the park after closing time Monday. The vehicle, which contained fireworks, also was fitted with a turret and multiple tubes from which the explosives were to be deployed. Neff, a resident of Stuart, Fla., told authorities that he did not want to hurt anyone and was planning to detonate the fireworks to draw attention to himself and issues he had with the banking industry…According to his Facebook page, Neff attended Stetson University in Florida. He describes his occupation as “Humanity’s Last Best Hope for Freedom.” In an “open letter” posted on the site in January, Neff wrote, “I have come to the inescapable conclusion that the bankers at the Federal Reserve engineered this financial crisis on purpose. And ladies and gentlemen, I have figured out how to get rid of the b*stards.” [NYP]
