okay. Wow. I thought from the thread title it was gonna be like a collapsible razor scooter or something that a kid could conceivably do by accident or horseplay gone too far, not intentionally picking up an 80lb object with a battery pack and such.

Astounding work, deciding that the day you have an illegal firearm on you is the day that you should assault a police officer in a heavily-witnessed area. Truly our nation's best and brightest, this kid.
