One minute he's a gifted savant, a visionary and breaker of new ground. And the next he does something so mindbogglingly stupid - even downright maniacal - that you have to reassess all your thoughts about him.
He has released for sale a hand-held portable flame thrower in the shape, size and form of a machine-gun. And he's sold out his first production run.
Check out the video clip of him demonstrating this thing?

In a nation with mind-boggling statistics for gun ownership and gun deaths, he put into the market (no permits required he boasts) a device that will BBQ at several meters distance. The crazies, criminals and others jackrabbits will just love it. Wait till we see the first reports of it's use.
It is unforgivable and almost so stupid it's difficult to believe a sane man could be behind it.
