Sofa, Chairs, and TV of Mass Destruction


The picture above is evidently the weapons cache of the Liberty City Seven--remember them? They're the diabolical geniuses (the leader of the group, Narseal Batiste, has a Louisiana connection--I think his father is from Marksville...um, correction, make that Bunkie)...anyway, this was a group of diabolical geniuses who were "preparing" to blow up the Sears Tower...except that they lacked, um, a realistic plan, explosives, a means to transport explosives...hell, for that matter they lacked money for local bus fare in Liberty City (a low rent suburb of Miami...Florida, only about 1500 miles from Chicago).

Batiste, you may recall, also expressed to an informant his interest in uniforms and shoes--because all good diabolical geniuses need to accessorize with the latest fashions and gear.

And even though there's no mention of it in the record, I'm convinced that Batiste was actively seeking theme music as well, which is probably why Abu Gonzales made such a big deal out of his arrest.

I'm just surprised they didn't withhold his bottle of activator.
