Anyone who is roommates with the "Birds aren't Real" guy has to be at least a little bit OK 8-)

Personally, I think he got off pretty easy by just being arrested for the fake gun. He's lucky NYPD didn't just cap him 37 times. Being white probably helped with that outcome.

BTW, with js disabled I was able to read the article...
