Video: BumBot, the Homeless-Fighting Robocop
When the sun goes down in Rufus Terrill's neighborhood, criminals and vagrants swarm in like Night of the Living Homeless. You remember when we first told you about BumBot, the solution contrived by the former DoD contractor. "If it wasn't chasing criminals, it'd be fighting Osama bin Laden." Granted, it's only equipped with a deBUManizing water jet turret, but his dreams were bigger: "I wanted to put a flamethrower on it, but they wouldn't let me do that." The police shut down his Taser plans too. You saw the original pics, but now here's a video of BumBot in action, from Colbert. [Colbert]

So, he has done what any sane American man would do in this situation—build a robot out of a meat smoker to lay down the law. The "BumBot," as many of O'Terrills' patrons have dubbed it, is basically a meat smoker mounted onto a three-wheeled scooter. Armaments include a spotlight, loudspeaker, water cannon and an infrared camera. Plus, the whole thing is covered in rubber for protection.
