Man found the stoplight cameras were activated during yellow lights and decided to cut the wires of it.

Florida Man: Chaotic evil.
New York Man: Chaotic good.

Holy shit. Nah dude look up the entire story, it’s INSANE.

The dude got arrested once before this for using a painter’s extension rod to point the stoplight cameras into the sky instead of cutting the wires. He didn’t cut the wires until AFTER he got out after being arrested the first time–which he did after posting facebook videos that prove that the stoplights are intentionally rigged to trick drivers into citations–the yellow lights at intersections with cameras only last THREE SECONDS, as opposed to the five seconds they last at other stoplights without cameras in the same county.

When he cut the camera cords, he reported his deeds to the news -himself,- and then politicians pressured the local police force into arresting him. The local police and sheriff deputies actually SUPPORT him for his actions because the lights have been killing innocent people! During his most recent arrest, one of the Sheriff’s Deputies actually -offered to bail him out-.

When he got home again after these incidents, there was a surveillance camera planted at his house BY THE GOVERNMENT to watch him! His reaction to being surveilled? He painted over the camera in America’s flat out fucking ballsiest “fuck you” to the gubmint I’ve ever heard of.

And it gets EVEN CRAZIER. After painting over the camera, suddenly this guy–his name is Stephen Ruth by the way–started GETTING ATTEMPTS ON HIS LIFE. He reports that a car intentionally tried to hit him in a head-on collision, and after talking about the car to his neighbors, they confirmed that the car in question (Or at least, one that was visibly identical, its occupants included) had been staking out his house! Somebody was legitimately trying to MURDER HIM over his discovery and his actions!

As a final insult to injury, Ruth pointed out that the VAST majority of the cameras were found SPECIFICALLY in lower-to-middle-class neighborhoods. As well, the victims of these rigged stoplights tried to go to the local news station to talk about the deaths of their family members that occurred from the rigging. Aaaand… The local station, “News12″, never aired their interviews.

Remember how I said that, after cutting the cables and calling the local news station, Ruth was arrested because of pressure from politicians? Get this: News12 is actually owned by CableVision, who PROVIDES INTERNET SERVICE TO THE CAMERAS. 

Whereas mister Ruth was only trying to help people and save lives, he’s been caught up in a full-blown fucking government conspiracy that’s out for his blood. This guy isn’t Robin Hood, he makes Robin Hood look like a -CHUMP-.

This is a modern vigilante.

Tony is gonna use the gauntlet, because the Russos have a major hard-on for mirror imagery and bookends. And he’s gonna live to tell the tale. 

According to Joe Russo and Christopher Markus, the Infinity Gauntlet requires a tremendous amount of energy to use. Knowing this, what comes to mind when you think “power" and “energy” in the MCU? The arc reactor. (Like what else?) Yes, it’s man-made, not some alien, cosmic, or god-like energy source, but I think that’s the whole point. That it is man-made. 

In Iron Man 2, the New Element was discovered when Tony Stark poured through his father’s old belongings, leading him to uncover a hidden atomic structure within a model of the Stark Expo. 

image

This “New Element” was synthesized by Howard’s study of the Tesseract. Later, the Tesseract was revealed to be the Space Stone, which makes this the first canonical appearance of an Infinity Gem in the MCU.

In The Avengers, Nick Fury says this to Steve about the Tesseract and why it’s important:

image

Yeah. “Unlimited sustainable energy.” That could come in handy, right? This same idea is hammered home in Iron Man 2 when Nick talks with Tony about his father:

image

That tells us that the New Element, which feeds the arc reactor in Tony’s chest, could theoretically be capable of much more than what we’ve seen so far.

… Like maybe power an Infinity Gauntlet?

So, what happens when Tony wields this mega-powerful gauntlet? The arc reactor (conveniently back inside Tony’s chest for the first time since Iron Man 3) will probably explode from being overloaded, which will mimic the injury that led him to become Iron Man in the first place (wooo a chest full of shrapnel). This would mirror Thanos getting slammed with Stormbreaker dead-center of his chest right before he snapped his fingers. 

image

I mean, the first thing Thanos even did when he appeared in the Soul World post-snap was to touch his chest (then look at his arm):

image

Just as the bomb in Iron Man didn’t kill Tony, I don’t think wielding the gauntlet will kill Tony either (he’s a survivor), but it will most certainly cripple him. Tony’s left arm is going to be fucked up, just like Thanos’s, but we’ve been getting signs that’s going to happen for a while:

image

Most notably, Tony suffers a ton of left arm injuries in Captain America: Civil War, which was written at the same time as, you guessed it, Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers 4

Just like Tony got to go home at the end of his stint in Afghanistan (wearing a sling on his arm no less), Tony will go on to live a life post-gauntlet that’s much like Thanos: finally building a farm, metaphorically hanging up the armor… it’s what he’s been dreaming about since AoU. 

image

After all, he and Thanos appear to be on parallel journeys. If Thanos got to see the sunset on a grateful universe, then Tony will as well.

But whatever injury he gets from wielding the gauntlet will permanently bench him from ever suiting up again. Tony doesn’t need to die to explain his absence from future MCU films. A life-altering injury + being a stay-at-home dad is enough, right? 

I will forever reblog this when it appears on my dash
