I met Alan a couple months ago, no idea he was torswatter or anything. One time we were having a very awkward conversation and he saw two US marines walking by and got all fidgety and stammery, started walking in place like a little kid and pointing at them like 'the-the marines...'. then he just walked off without saying goodbye to go talk to these marines and polish the shoes. they looked about as thrilled as you can imagine, they were trying to be polite but kept walking while he just sorta awkwardly followed them asking more questions. he mentioned several times that a family member of his was in basic training. im not anti-patriotic I come from a military family so to me marines are just marines I respect them but im not gonna salute em on the streets, however he seemed genuinely enamored with them like they were toy soldiers or space marines from the warhammer or something. he is also not nearly as highly intelligent as his neighbors claim, but he thinks he is, mentioned he was majoring in physics and knew a thing or two about this and that. So yeah, pleading not guilty, thinking he is very smart when he clearly hasnt got a clue, no lawyer present during his appearance, and unbridled respected for authority, he is majorly fucked. He will be lucky if they keep the sentence at 65 years. Can't wait for the JCS video.
