PEOPLE BEING PEOPLE

An Arizona inventor has built a customized wheelchair fitted with a flamethrower. Lance Greathouse, an engineer who makes “pimped” scooters for disabled people, spent $1,000 assembling the wheelchair out of spare parts. Its flamethrower spits out a blast of fire that extends 35 feet. “I love fire and wheelchairs, so I thought, why not put them together?” said Greathouse, 52. “I would like to see some street gang member mess with someone in one of my chairs.”
