Tony Magsam, phony Gunnery Sergeant arrested

| April 14, 2016

Magsam speed racer

About two years ago we wrote about Anthony Magsam who was pretending to be a Marine Corps Gunnery Sergeant and an Iraq War veteran in Philadelphia. He wore a pretty little motorcycle vest with a Combat Infantryman Badge and a Bronze Star, but the NPRC says that he had no service;

Magsam FOIA1

He had been a Philly cop until it was discovered that he stole weapons parts from the police department. He was subsequently fired, but otherwise, unpunished. Hack Stone sends us the news that he was finally arrested yesterday, after about seven years since the theft was discovered.

Anthony Magsam’s arrest on charges of theft, receiving stolen property, and obstruction of administrative law came one week after his former commander, Lt. Vincent J. Testa, committed suicide prior to a scheduled meeting with prosecutors about the case.

Magsam, 35, was released from custody Wednesday following an arraignment. Attempts to reach him for comment late Wednesday were not successful. No lawyer was listed on his initial charging document.

Magsam doesn’t like the picture at the top of this post – he complained to a previous service provider that it was copyrighted so we lost the blog for a day while our lawyers straightened the problem out with the provider. We enjoy this extra ration of karma that he’s catching these days.

You’d think that someone who’d apparently managed to skate on multiple felonies would refrain from attracting attention to himself. That’s especially true for a former dirty cop, who would presumably know the potential consequences of getting prosecuted.

Then again, no one ever accused most thieves of being smart.

KillerB

Hondo, you would think so.. but I’n guessing all the bullshit and theft with very little punishment made him feel invincible. Arrogance is his down fall. Bang bitch!!

Hack Stone

Apparently he had some relatives high up in the Philadelphia Police Department, so he assumed that made him bullet proof. You know what they say if you assume….

Thor

Me and Bubba got a long warm welcome for him.

Pinto Nag

Nope. They won’t put an ex-cop in general population; he’d be dead in a week. Cons hate two things: dirty cops and pedophiles. He better hope the guards never forget to lock the doors…

HMC Ret

Pedophiles deserve every thumping they receive in prison. And then some. They are the scum of the earth.

3E9

Maybe they will. Once you leave the PD under less than stellar conditions some places don’t even take that into consideration. Especially if you’ve been gone a while.

UpNorth

Unless he pisses off the guards. Then, as you pointed out, he better hope they keep the doors locked.
Many times, “administrative errors” occur, and someone who’s supposed to be in segregation mysteriously ends up in general population.

I always liked the Marine version of the CIB better. Those fuckers were hard to get.

Bruno Stachel

That’s right. It’s a little known fact that very few of those rare Marine CIBs have ever been awarded, and so far they have only been given to the members of that highly-classified, black ops, ultra-covert assassination unit that can’t be named that was cleverly stationed behind the row of dumpsters outside of the chow hall at Camp Johnson over there by Camp Lejeune.

You know the unit that I mean. You know; it’s that stealthy USMC SPECOPS unit that recruits its members directly off of the yellow footprints outside of Receiving Barracks at Parris Island, after each individual has been previously hand-picked by the Commandant based on their inherent, and obvious, lethal bad-assery. And they go straight to the unit and begin combat operations without any additional training, too. It’s hard to believe, but it’s true.

I’ve met a couple of the guys that were in that unit; they were some really bad dudes, let me tell you. And they all had “The Stare”.

But, they all ended up getting out because they’d “been in the shit too long”, and they “just got tired of the killin'”. They have all been afflicted with a devastating case of the PTSD as well. It’s very sad.

Yup, a phony Marine Gunny with a CIB sitting on a motorcycle in a leather vest. I’m a believer. Totally legit. Uh huh.

20thEB67

Well, leather vest-check. But the ‘motorcycle’ is a fail, I`m afraid.

Just WTF is that toyish thing he`s sitting on, anyhow?

Loser,

Holden Magroin

I thought they all got out because they punched a superior officer. I must have misremembered.

Holden

HMCS(FMF) ret.

Oh, those dudes that called themselves “ballsack warriors”! Biggest, baddest group of goo gobblers that I’ve ever seen. They all knew some dude they called “Rice Paddy Daddy” who took the deep into “Indian Country” where they practice “deep penetration” missions with some seekrit weapon called “the anal intruder”….

Cpl/Major Mike

The Marine Corps has never been known to hand out medals frivolously and you damn sure have to do something special to be awarded one of those.

W2

Speec racer? Round these parts we say maha gogo, Maha gogo, maha gogo, maha go go go! That’s the Japanese version,

W2

Speed racer goddammit!

Bobo

I wonder if he’ll have computer access from his cell just so that he can keep up the stupid harassing crap.

I’m sure that the COs will make sure that none of the convicts knows that Maggasam is a former cop.

A Proud Infidel®™

Yeah, that would be a pity. I’ve heard that Ex-Cops are regarded about as highly as kiddie pervs in any lockup!

HMC Ret

And stolen valor is a victimless crime, and the buttwipes committing it never commit other crimes. Right

Ex-PH2

I hope someone rats on him and he gets the crap beaten out of him.

Sorry, I’m in a pissy mood this morning.

HMC Ret

I was down a little yesterday, PH2, so went to a gun shop and basked in the 2nd Amendment. Then I fired off a couple hundred rounds. Better than Prozac. Mrs. HMC fired off a bunch, too. Couple Range Time … I highly recommend it.
You cheer up, now, girl

20thEB67

The family that shoots together..Damn, can`t make a rhyme, but you know what I mean.

My daughter has always been fun to go shooting with. Trouble is, she can put a whoopin on the old man now. I got her on the tricky shit, though.Like keeping a tin can moving through 10 rounds with the .45. Fun.

David

It’s slow but cheap… get a black powder revolver and learn to shoot it. About as much fun as you can have at the range with your clothes on. Nothing like the smell of ‘the black’!

11B-mailclerk

On one sunny day…

Touched off the first round from a Colt 3rd model Dragoon. (Cap-ball revolver, large, firing a charge of 45 grains of black powder)

The guy two stalls over shrieks “His gun exploded!”

Just too much fun….

A Proud Infidel®™

Black Powder Rifles are fun to shoot as well. One day I had a wild hair up my ass while at the range and put about 220 grains of FFg powder in the barrel sans a bullet and it sounded like a cannon firing! I’ve done the same with blank rounds at reenactments.

Instinct

I like lever actions for having fun.

Nothing like flipping the lever and letting them fly. More work than just taking the semi-autos but that’s part of the fun.

Jarhead

David….is this where the libtards stand up and sing, “Once you smell black you never go back?” Black smells matter.

Atkron

Mangasm should have been called out by his motorcycle club for ‘being a Marine’ and wearing a CIB instead of a CAR.

But, maybe they’re all fakes too; so they wouldn’t know the difference either.

Great observation Atkron
I’d look into ANY club member claiming to be a Marine.
No way that wouldn’t have raised some eyebrows by any legit Jarhead

Claw

Hey. I was one of those. Both Main and Tail Rotors.

It’s called making sure your side of the bird is clear while doing a hover down into a daisy cutter sized hole somewhere in the A Shau Valley.

AW1Ed

Gotta be quick to inspect them tail rotor blades!

Claw

Yep. A Huey Tail Rotor Inspector has to be six times quicker than a Huey Main Rotor Inspector.

Almost *Flash* quick.

Joseph Williams

Chief or Gunner had his head was trying to clear the rotors and watch for hostile fire at the same time. Try the Rockpile before the landing platform was biult. One wheel on the top and the other wheel in the air. Joe

OAE CPO USN Ret

Once the court prosecutes him for being a dirty cop, everyone that was ever busted by him is going to cry foul about their arrests.

CB Senior

Well he is going to earn the rank of Bummery Sgt. soon.

SFC D

Owie. Coffee through nose. Much pain!

Sparks

Everybody likes to wear that CIB. Few want to do that whole Infantry in combat thing to get it though.

SHITBAG!

Roh-Dog

Hell, I’d give my left nut to be back ‘in [that] combat thing’. Sure beats sitting in class.

ChipNASA

Vincent Testa killed himself. Well they were both dirty.
I wonder if he’s related to this guy….

Claw

Yeah, you just gotta love the Nazi SS Death Head on that Whiz Kid’s fedora.

It helps to butch his image.

Jarhead

Right on the money Claw. To me he looks and acts like a white face Beetlejuice from the Howard Stern show. Mannerisms, midget like, floppin’ around in a crowd lookin’ like a chicken with his head cut off. Not to mention the same warm and inviting personality.

Roh-Dog

Is anyone taking bets on this asshole suck-starting his stolen pistol?
Put me $100 on painting the walls with a kicker of under a week.
-fingers crossed-

A Proud Infidel®™

It would be one less oxygen thief getting free food, clothing and lodging at taxpayers’ expense.

Hack Stone

Testa killed himself rather than face the Grand Jury. That leads me to believe that this criminal enterprise runs deep. Do you think that Phony Tony will rollover and testify against his accomplices?

Hondo

Depends, Hack.

Implying that he might end up in gen pop after he gets convicted if he doesn’t cooperate could possibly loosen his tongue a bit.

CWORet

I’m in. His former boss already showed him the way…

Hondo

At this point, I’ll bet against. I don’t think he’s got the guts to do it. However, if he’s released while awaiting sentencing if/when he’s been convicted and is awaiting sentencing might be a different story. I also don’t really think he’s got the guts to do the time, either.

RM3(SS)

All aboard the karma train! You, Magsam, we have a special ticket for you.

Smaj

Lowlife scum.

HMCS(FMF) ret.

I wonder if the guns that were missing were ever found or if they are still out there, being used for crimes?

I’m sure that his Mom and Dad are really proud of his accomplishments as a former Philly cop (““Magsam – whose mother, longtime police Sgt. Barbara Feeney, is married to retired Chief Inspector Michael Feeney – was quietly transferred from the FIU to Northeast Philly’s 15th District.”).

There’s a place in Hell waiting for Orgasm for what he did…

Magsam – *PTUI*

Oh my goodness, imagine that, another sooper dooper pooper scooper douchebag trooper in a leather motorcycle vest decked out like a xmas tree with colorful patches, buttons & ribbons.
Where does America get such outstanding turd magnets ?

CWORet

About time shitstain get his comeuppance. Those are some mighty fine felonies you’re looking at, scumbag.

sfp2

Thinking they should put all the posers in a Army Div of their own. Give them all Purple Hearts, drop them off at isis front lines and in a few days all will have earned them. Is it just me or does that “Hog” look to be one size bigger than a 49cc spree. Y.M.C.A?

Bill M

Looks like a hoglet to me.

I thought it was one of those “Kiddie Ride” bikes that used to be placed in front of grocery stores just like the ten cent horse rides I remember from my rug rat and yard ape days.

Extra loser.

And throw away the key.

I wonder if that picture taken at the top was when they were having a MC rally at All-Points Logistics with Phildo and his North Florida boys?

Toss in the “Big Turd” Keith Riley Keeton and some blue hair and its a party!

Joseph lyons

Lol I remember that picture he was wearing a friends biker jacket and joking around funny guy actually served in army and after that photo they started calling him gunny cause he knew about guns. He made fun of marines cause he was in army and hated marines. It’s hilarious he’s on here cause he actually has called out alot of phony military people in pa. Yeah gunny was a nickname cause he owned alot of guns. But whatever you guys know your stuff. Just like guys called top or chief but not a master chief. Gunny? Lol he’s far from calling himself a marine he makes fun of marines. O! BTW look closer to that top left patch that’s the Afghanistan ribbon which replaced the global war on terror ribbon but you all know that. He was 10th mountain guy I served with him and of you zoom in that bronze star patch says “in loving memory of his grandfather he will always remember” who earned one in ww2. But you guys know that. You’re experts.

OWB

Yeah, right.

How come it is that you are the only one calling us experts?

But thanks for reminding us of this dormant topic about a lying thief.

OAE CPO USN Ret

Here’s a better picture Tony, er, I mean Joseph.

Same vest, different picture. I guess he was just joking around and wearing his “friends” biker vest again.

There’s the Afghanistan patch on top, followed by the CIB patch

And lookie there, the Bronze Star patch. Funny, it doesn’t seem to say anything about “in loving memory…” on the patch.

Next argument?

Work balls much, “Joseph”? Only thing that your butt buddy Tony is going to serve is time… and being a former cop, the last place he’d want to be is in jail.

Hey Tony… ever find those missing guns? How many innocent people were killed with them?

This is my dad’s sister son and now I got another story for you about
My father’s Meddling siblings interfering between a father and daughter relationship and poised by propaganda my father against the guardian advocate and me the only child by using his handicap of dementia and that is elderly abuse.
I will go to the media on how most of these meddling siblings interfering between a father and only child relationship all for their GREED of lining their pockets and utilizing my father’s portion of their mother’s last wishes. The will reads if one of her children are sick or gets sicks it goes into a trust. Ive got the trust advocate and guardian here in Florida from the courts. The will didn’t stipulate that one of the siblings should be that individual care taker if or becomes sick. I just love how they make it up as it goes for their best entrust but not for the injured individuals. By so the sister whose a retired cop never took my father to get his B12 shot injection and would rather have my dad living out of a motel then to be with his only child and grandchildren. Ive showed more proof of a six month radius of making better proof of changing my father lifestyle toward healthier eating habits, Herbalife, and daily exercise and church once a week on Sunday. Taking him to his doctor’s and getting the help he needs and deserves.
