Mark Vicars; phony Air Marshall arrested
In Mineola, New York, a police task force rolled up on this Mark Vicars fellow. When he was stopped, he turned on the police-like lights on his car and showed them his badge and ID card for his work as a Federal Air Marshall. Well, I guess he wasn’t an Air Marshall after all;
Investigators say they found a loaded handgun and a knife on Vicars and searched his car.
“In the backseat of the vehicle was a loaded Daniel Defense .223 caliber assault rifle along with ballistic body armor vest and a tactical vest,” says Nassau Detective Lt. Richard LeBrun.
Officers found more weapons and about 8,300 rounds of ammunition at Vicars’ home.
QM1, who sent us the link, says that word on the street is that he also claimed to be a former Navy SEAL, but I can’t find a reference to that particular untruth, but it would stand to reason that phony cop would also have a phony military career, too.
Either way, Mark is still in the hoosegow trying to scrape together 3 hundred grand for bail.

When Grumpy Cat became an Air Marshall….
Why the long face…..
That scowl says: “I just had my brand new Phildo I got for Christmas taken away during the booking procedures body cavity search.”
“Give it back, I need my Phildo!!”
I really get a case of the ass when the media gets all breathless about “more weapons and about 8,300 rounds of ammunition”, as though that’s the worst thing ever! Many people have “more weapons and about 8,300 rounds of ammunition”, or, quite possibly, more than 8,300 rounds of ammunition. It’s not a crime to have multiple weapons and lots of ammunition.
I was thinking the same thing. They would cream their drawers if they saw what I may or may not have in my house, barn, shop, vehicles.
Even my tractors are “equipped”!!
I had a scoped .22LR bolt gun in a scabbard attached to my tractor, way back when. Kept the ground hog population under control.
If I hadn’t lost it all in a tragic boating accident, the media would have an aneurism with the amount of ammunition in my house.
Twist, all this time I had been thinking my boat collision had been with a cruise ship. Sure bothered me that I also lost all my weapons and ammo.
Now about this Vicars fellow: So you see he was a Lady Gaga freak and of course his Village People mustache made him think he was baaaad. Thor and Buba will wipe that scowl off his face when they wipe some mansauce off it.
What an amazing coincidence! All my firearms one night stole my car and, while they were looking for innocents to gun down, drove off a cliff, hitting an airplane that was out of fuel, forcing it to crash land and then rolling into the ocean.
All were lost
Instinct….If I remember correctly wasn’t the pilot some disbarred attorney?
It’s not illegal for a leopard to have spots, either — but you’d be foolish not to pay attention to that pattern if it appeared. This isn’t some innocent local being harassed by the cops, this was a criminal going somewhere to become media famous. Fortunately, he got tagged before he killed anyone.
I never said it was. I was referring to the media and their hyperventilating and their hyperbolic description of “more weapons and 8,300 rounds of ammunition”, as though it was the beginning of the end. Most of those media chuckleheads wouldn’t know ammunition from rabbit turds to begin with, yet they try and make everyone afraid of the things they, themselves, are afraid of. It’s called projection and the bedwetters on the left are very skilled at it. You know what 8,300 rounds of ammunition is? A good start.
I’m not going to say that anybody out there can’t have as much ammunition and as many weapons as they want and can afford, but I will say this: not too long ago, a family might have a couple of hunting rifles, possibly a couple of shotguns, a pistol or two, and a couple of boxes of ammo for each. Now? Dozens if not hundreds of weapons, and thousands of rounds of ammo are the norm. Well, the truth of the matter is this: it is legal, and it might even be considered acceptable in some circles, but there isn’t anything NORMAL about it. We are a hyper-armed, hyper-vigilant, and very frightened society. And it shows.
Recent (2013) estimates of the number of firearms in the USA ranged from a projected 265 million to approx 357 million.
(The 265 million figure for 2013 was obtained by assuming the 2011 estimate by Cook/Duke University was accurate and using that number to project for 2013).
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2015/10/05/guns-in-the-united-states-one-for-every-man-woman-and-child-and-then-some/
The US population in 2013 was 316.5 million. That works out to between 0.837 and 1.128 firearms per US resident.
The average US household size in 2013 was 2.54 individuals per household.
That hardly works out to an average household having “dozens if not hundreds” of firearms, PN.
Not every household has guns, Hondo. I have two friends, one is a collector and has over 200 guns of different types (not all are antique), and the other has, at last count, about 30. At one time, years ago, there were 27 guns in my own home. Tell me you don’t know of at least two people with that kind of collection. I doubt there are many people on here that don’t have that kind of collection, or don’t know of someone who does.
Agreed. But calling something “the norm” implies that it is the most common case, or near the national average. A household with “dozens if not hundreds” of firearms is decidedly NOT the most common or average case.
What you describe is not “the norm” – nor does the fact that you or I know of such a case make it “the norm”. Everyone knows people who are exceptional or out of the ordinary in some way.
Sorry, Pinto Nag, to me and my brothers it’s very common to go through 200-300 rounds in a few hours at the range.
I think I have, at last count, about 2000 rounds of ammo for my rifles and pistols and about 700 for my shotguns.
When you consider that 10-25% of that is used up by one range trip, I don’t consider that an excessive amount to have in the gun safe
I used to be one of those guys who only had a few hundred rounds in the house of each caliber for my weapons. Then, we suddenly had ammo droughts and it was impossible to run to Walmart to pick up a few boxes on the way to the range. Now I buy ammo by the case. I’m guessing that I’m not in the minority in my thinking, and I’m sure that the NY Times would crap a brick if they walked into my ammo closet.
I’m not frightened, PN, I’m vigilant. The reason a lot of us have many boxes of ammo is because of the chump-in-chief, who blathers on about gun control every couple of months, which causes shortages in our favorite calibers. So, we stock up, so that we can still go out and shoot our favorite calibers. Plus, more people are figuring out that the 2nd Amendment has nothing to do with hunting and are also figuring out that the police can’t protect you from the bad guys. My guns have killed no one (well, except for my WWII bolt action Russian rifle, which may have felled a few Nazis in its day), they have been fired at no one. We have seen time and time, again, how an armed potential victim, is able to protect themselves from the bad guys, who, btw, don’t give a shit about gun laws. Sorry, but I’ll stick with my plan. Normal is in the eye of the beholder and I don’t really care if you think it’s normal, or not, cuz I don’t answer to you.
Maybe and maybe not. You don’t know that. If you saw what I routinely carry on my way to vacation you probably would duck and cover.
Well, keep in mind, it IS New York.
^^^ this ^^^
This fine individual was picked up in Mineola, NY on Long Island about 18 miles from Manhattan. This is probably not the World gun rights center.
Great Department! NCPD….my former job.
Toss in Native American and we have the Phony Phil Monkress Trifecta.
Loser.
Is that his mugshot? The look on his face is like he’s saying “MOOOOMMY, I’m gonna be married to Bubba & Thor again!!”.
Julio and Mr. “Tiny” are looking for a new “bride”… looks like Marky has had himself a few cockmeat sammiches and tube steaks before.
Either that or he’s rehearsing for his next acting role: “Bride of Ben Dover”.
Come on man. I knew this guy personally. He is a good man. Just not well. I know personal details about him. I won’t share but this whole power trip would make a lot of sense to many. He lost everything. So did his new wife and stepson. It’s a tragedy.
No excuse. A “good man” doesn’t do the things that Mark Vicars has done. Are you his therapist, or just his sockpuppet?
Perhaps HE should have considered how damaging his lies would be to those around him before he started lying about who he is.
HE is not the victim. Quit pretending that he is anything but a lying criminal who victimizes others.
Lynn: I guess your “therapy” must consist of making excuses for this lying worthless turd. Obviously you didn’t know (or conveniently forgot) that he’s been indicted on 51 – that’s right, FIFTY ONE counts that include:
Four counts of second degree criminal possession of a weapon
11 counts of third degree criminal possession of a weapon
Two counts of second degree criminal possession of a forged instrument
Seven counts of crminal possession of a firearm
24 counts of fourth degree criminal possession of a weapon
Second degree criminal impersonation
Failure to stop at a red light
Obstruction of a license plate.

A real prince of a fellow (sarc). Since you’re supposedly a therapist, you should know what the term “enabler” means. Methinks it applies to you.
Word.
“He lost everything. So did his new wife and stepson. It’s a tragedy.”
Yep, actions have consequences and more than likely they affect the innocent. Mark Vicars is solely responsible for his actions and will have a lot of time to reflect on the damage he has done to his family.
But Stolen Valor and impersonating LEO is a victimless crime?
Hey Lynn – do you remember the old saying “actions have consequences”? Mark must have forgotten that, and if you as a LCSW aren’t remembering that when your with patients/clients, then maybe you’re in the wrong line of work…
My blind Bassett Hound looks happier than this dipshit.
He makes a Basset Hound look happier than Richard Simmons in a pet store fully stocked with gerbils!
It appears that he has “the tattoo” as well…from the mugshot site:
Tattoo- Upper Left Shoulder – Image of two feet w/lightning bold (USAF)
which is likely this: http://www.cafepress.com/+green_feet_2_pj_patches,757213693
wrong thread
I’d still be $1 that this applies here as well.
He has almost as many felonies charged as rounds of ammo.
Well, at 10%, $30,000 bones usually ain’t something every Tom, Dick and Mark have just lying around.
He also had fraudulent and forged ID, Badge, Vehicle Passes etc.
“Vicars is actually an unemployed personal trainer, according to prosecutors at his arraignment.”
This is NOT going to go well for old Mark

Unless the judge smiled at Vicars and said, “Son, that’ll be $300,000 bond. Cash!” Not at all uncommon with phoney IDs. And not many bail bondsmen will touch a flight risk.

Phony ex SEAL, achievement unlocked
GDContractor,
Here’s your prize…
https://www.immaculatebaking.com/goodies/the-worlds-biggest-cookie/
Hell week? Psh. Everyone knows that the following Zumba week really separates the men from the boys in BUD/S.
I don’t want to know what Ultimate Gaga is. It sounds hinky; and I don’t want to know.
Jonn added the screenshot above at the end of the original post. Ultimate Gaga is the name of a business in Syosett, NY. Apparently a place for kids to play indoor dodgeball… you know, the kind of place that is perfect for an Ex-Navy SEAL to host a Zumba Boot Camp.
Heavy weaponry? These “journalists” are delusional.
Thanks for those links, Chip. The picture of those Id’s, and even the base sticker looked pretty authentic. Assclown even had FEDERAL AGENT printed on the handguards of his AR and tactical vest. His weapons and ammo collection isn’t really that impressive, and none of it even remotely illegal in my part of the world, but with all that other ‘federal agent’ gear… man if he were plotting a mass shooting of some sort, that would be downright scary to think about. He’s a rather scary dude. They need to start searching for bodies.
Well, I’m impressed. He not only failed the ‘Phildo test’. He also failed the East Village leather freak audition, as well. Looks like his attempts at a sideline as an LEO mimic were another failure.
I’m telling you, this turnip-brained cockleburr is dumber than a bag of barrel cacti. And I’m being reserved today.
Methinks that a dead Barrel Cactus would look like Einstein when compared to him.
Another assclown finds his karmic reward, liars aren’t always criminals but all criminals are liars.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Have fun with Julio.
I’m betting that this will be his second honeymoon with Bubba & Thor, I wonder what kind of shit he’s tried to pull off in the past?
Umm…another one bites the dust..or bites BUG DOGS prick, then dust to dust?
