The cops seized 1000 weapons.
Uh-huh.
SURE they did.
Sure.
I believed that it started at a thousand, maybe a little over a thousand. Then the story got to, “If you won’t believe that lie, will you believe this lie?” With each subsequent lie, the weapon count became smaller.
Some of those “weapons” were nail clippers and such. For real. No lie. No telling how many screw drivers were confiscated from the impounded vehicles. Swanton later had to dial the number back just like he’s had to dial back every tall tale he’s told.
