Riddle me this forum goers, what has: no arms, only one leg and kicked a kicked a state trooper?

This guy:

The Black Knight walks among us!

“According to court records, Wiley has stolen a car, kicked a state trooper and attacked his wife headfirst. He is awaiting trial on separate drug and illegal-driving charges. He faces up to five years in prison.”

But wait, it gets even more improbable!

“Authorities say the driver was Michael Francis Wiley, 40, who overcame three amputations, taught himself to drive with stumps and proceeded to become one of Pasco County's most accomplished traffic violators.”

BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE!

“For about eight minutes on Tuesday, through the streets near downtown, police chased a driver who had no arms and one good leg. He got away. He is used to this sort of thing.”


If you are wondering how he lost his limbs, here is the whole, long, sad story. If there is a lesson to be learned here, never underestimate the importance of therapy.

Gotta applaud his persistence, I guess…

Love the reflection in the vanity mirror in the picture.

Wow. Talk about your perpetual bad-asses.  Almost appears he's hell-bent on finishing the job the electricity didn't accomplish.

Reminds me of the joke where the prisoner of war kept having limbs amputated, and got them to drop them over England, and the Germans thought he was trying to escape.

Go on, get a big, fat eyeful, with your big, fat eyes. That's right, a POTATO just called your eyes "fat". Now your fat eyes have seen everything!

Because you seem new to the forum, and I have never heard this story before, I must operate under the assumption that you are the person you featured, typing this story about yourself.

With your foot. On the run hop from the police.

I'd say the only reason to be scared is if you live in Florida.

He should team up with this guy.

Together they would be an unstoppable force.

Does anyone else think that is the same person? The resemblance is just too uncanny even the first names are the same!


Never mind, a prosthetic leg is not that flexible. Because Wiley has prosthetic limbs, he chose not to drive with them.

On a side note the both of them should team up an become the toesome twosome.

Nope, can't be the same guy. The one firing the gun has both feet.  The article said the first guy had only one leg.

This guy has two legs. The car guy only has one.

They should base the character for the next Grant Theft Auto videogame after this guy.
