What would you do if you were a rent-a-cop working security at the G20 meeting and you saw a car like this tooling around the streets of Toronto in close proximity to where the collective political and economic brain trust was about to gather?

According to this report in the Globe and Mail, they pulled the guy over and started asking a few questions. Good move. Shown below is what they found inside that homemade storage container deftly attached to his Subaru (I think that’s a Subaru – it’s Canada).
Let’s see … a crossbow with five arrows, a sledgehammer, a pickax, lots of gasoline and, of course, a baseball bat. Nah, nothing to see here … move along.

The driver, a gray haired man in his 50s, was said to be disoriented when police stopped him and took him into custody.
On a related note, have a look at this Spiegel Online story about how German Chancellor Angela Merkel is standing her ground against the uber-Keynsians across the Atlantic. Note the link behind the word “shrill” in the first paragraph – it goes back to this report from the other day about Paul Krugman and, for those of you who haven’t already figured out why this is so amusing, the word “shrill” is a favorite of another uber-Keynesian, Brad DeLong.

Kind of a Rube Goldberg method of attack…
Reminds me of the Chasers at the G7 conference in Australia in 2007
They have a photo of the guy in the G&M story. The guy looks like he belongs in the loonie bin (no pun intended).
Thanks for the DeLong referecence. Gave me a good chuckle.
Even though it’s Canada, the car is a Hyundai Elantra
The car is a Kia, not a Subaru.
Just a contractor type in the wrong place at the wrong time.
I think I saw a chainsaw, too! What is this guy hunting, zombies?
