It takes a dark sense of irony (I have one) to see humor in this situation. So yeah, I smirked.

But re-watching the video, the thing that strikes me is how thoroughly and effectively he indoctrinated that bunch of kids into the mindset that guns are something to be feared. That's not funny; that saddens me terribly.

Take the same group of kids to the range for a few days, instead of filling their heads with drug war propaganda, and you'd have a better chance of of keeping them off drugs, off the streets, and out of jail.

At least the kids had the presence of mind to start yelling "put it down!" when he tried assuring them that the long gun was an "empty weapon".

I find it hilarious that he's suing because wide distribution of the video has left him unable to work undercover.

Gee, maybe it's just me, but I'm thinking that if your identity as an undercover agent can be compromised by video, perhaps it's best not to give lectures in public, knowing you're on videotape, appearing in raid gear with "DEA" emblazoned across it.

That, and he's "no longer able or allowed" to give school lectures. Well, duh!

How did you like that he cited his professional football career? I looked him up. Seems he was signed by the Tampa Bay Bandits, but never suited up before the USFL folded. And then in 1987, at age 27, he played in three games as a strike replacement player for the Buccaneers.

Remember our ol' pal, Special Agent "Glock Fowty", who shot himself in the foot during a classroom presentation?

He's suing. It seems people think he's an idiot, and laugh at him.

The nerve of them!
