Punk rocker admits wearing ammo-studded belt on Pace campus was bad idea after sparking evacuation
2017-09-21
[Daily News - New York] A Pace University student bit the bullet Friday and admitted that donning an ammo-studded belt to wear to his lower Manhattan campus was a serious fashion faux pas.

Saad Al Saud, a 19-year-old freshman from Saudi Arabia who goes by "Rex," said he had no idea his cartridge-carrying belt was going to cause such chaos.

"This got blown out of proportion," Al Saud told the Daily News. "Everyone was safe it was just an inconvenience. I don't think anyone should be held accountable."

A punk rocker whose wealthy family is in real estate, Al Saud said he’d worn his bullet belt many times since buying it.

#4  My first thought is to gather a group of people together, dress them as punk rockers with ammo belts and run through the campus.

It is a form of protest.... ;)

#3  Second thought - maybe he thought he was going to be the next 'Clock Boy'?

#2  Yoot's father sez "Overall, it's just a weird situation." I would have preferred a kinetic ending, but that's just me.

#1  "This got blown out of proportion,"

Consider yourself very, very lucky you didn't literally get blown out of proportion by the SWAT team.
