BBQ Security....wait what?


Never has BBQ been so scary!

Well, there are a few in Atlanta, Georgia that might think twice about looking at a rib smoker the wrong way. And for damn good reason too.

Meet "Bum-bot."

This modified hunk of authority was constructed by neighborhood bar owner Rufus Terrill. It's sole purpose is too rid the parking lots and driveways around the area of night stalking hoodlums. These homeless souls, drug dealers and even horny folk seem to love the darkness the area provides. Mr. Terrill and others say the block is used for making drug deals, urinating, defecating, and prostitution.

The debris finds it's way to a nearby playground and daycare center. So this engineer by trade, turned hero, built the solution from scratch and it seems to work.

CNN.com describes this hickory smokin' savior for us,

"It's a barbecue smoker mounted on a three-wheeled scooter, and armed with an infrared camera, spotlight, loudspeaker and aluminum water cannon that shoots a stream of icy water about 20 feet."

So Terrill gets to play with his homemade remote control security guard, eat Barbecue when he's hungry, yell at hobos, chase of drug dealers, and do a great deed for his community. By operating an establishment that serves refreshing alcoholic beverages. Haha, just kidding.

That sounds like a great guy to hang with for a weekend or two..... three. And I suppose that a Port-A-Pottie could take care of these problems. Only because it makes a nice comfy place to sleep, do drugs, have sex or take a dookie. But that wouldn't be as fun would it.
