TrippyDon’t

Brennan Boyd, who raps under the name TrippyDoo, was out on bond. The charge: illegal possession of a handgun. Then his promoter had an idea for a photo. So Boyd went to the home of a Monroeville, Pa., police officer and posed outside — with the officer’s police car — holding an AR-15 and a shotgun. “This policeman looks outside and 100 feet from his house, at his vehicle, there’s someone standing there with an AR-15,” said Boyd’s lawyer, Patrick Thomassey. “What could have happened?” Boyd was placed on house arrest with an electronic monitor. As for the photo, which was posted to the rapper’s Facebook page, Thomassey said he told his client to take it down. “So I’m sure it’ll come off at some point.” (AC/KDKA Pittsburgh) ...Yes, if Boyd is sensible — so probably not.
