It really sucks, but of course it was an idiot from Nassau county 🙄
For anyone who might not know the area, Nassau County is the place that gave us George Santos. It is burgundy-red, only bested in racism by Suffolk county. The police departments are notoriously racist and will pull you over and interrogate you just for driving a beater. This was one of Trump's favorite police departments during his first term, he infamously told them to bash people's heads against their cop cars when arresting them.
Sadly there are many very left leaning people trapped on Long Island, unable to leave because LI is an employment wasteland. It's not cheap to live on LI either.
Anyways, an idiot from Nassau won't be missed.
Do not forget it was LI was basically kkk hq for a while.
To be fair this seems like a honest oversight
He entered the imaging room unauthorised. It was an honest Darwin Award
...someone probably should've stopped him
You don't know what you don't know. He probably wasn't even thinking about how MRI machines work.
The technician let him in. There was an oversight somewhere but we don't really know the details. Was the necklace under his shirt, was the receptionist on break, etc etc
Wearing a NINE kilogram necklace.
That's like approaching a campfire with clothes made out of tinder after soaking in some gasoline and drinking alcohol.
