BANG! Michael Moore’s Bodyguard Arrested on Airport Gun Charge

It’s so much fun when things work out this way.  What I mean is, it wouldn’t be nearly as much fun if the New York Times had written this story.  Oh who am I kidding—they never would.  But the fact that Fox News Channel is reporting this is fun.

NEW YORK — Filmmaker Michael Moore’s bodyguard was arrested for carrying an unlicensed weapon in New York’s JFK airport Wednesday night.

Police took Patrick Burke, who says Moore employs him, into custody after he declared he was carrying a firearm at a ticket counter. Burke is licensed to carry a firearm in Florida and California, but not in New York. Burke was taken to Queens central booking and could potentially be charged with a felony for the incident.

Moore’s 2003 Oscar-winning film “Bowling for Columbine” criticizes what Moore calls America’s “culture of fear” and its obsession with guns.
