Walts, posers & wannabes (merged)

Weirdos.

A person who impersonates a power figure typically has “some sort of motivation to be in the spotlight; to be important; to feel special; be allowed to go places others aren’t,” said Max Wachtel, a Denver-based forensic psychologist.

Those who do things like this  (with no ill intentions?), are so unhappy with their own lives and themselves to the point where they have to make up a false identity to feel good.

Could it be related to a psychopathic illness? There appears to some desire to manipulate others to believe the lie. If people don't appear to believe them, what is the response?

I did a little hunting, and there does not appear to be much research into this topic at all. (Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. Been trying to find research articles on this behavior)

Apparently he has frequented my friend's bar (Tara Inn, Scarborough)  more than once, and my friend (he's the Bartender), has outed him as a Walt each time.

All the female friends he has on Facebook explains why he does it.

An entire nation led by Walts.....

They are not Walts I'm sure all those medals, ribbons, and awards were given to them legitimately, they just don't mean anything. I bet the penalty for Walting in that country is quite severe!  ;D

[Conker]

He's JTF2, apparently. Seems legit.

I can just imagine the discussions if the CF Dress Committeee was driven to consider extending the area for placing medals and commemorative pins to the pants.

"... and this one, just above the knee, is the 20th Anniversary pin of the Bi-centennial of the War of 1812, the original pin for which is found up here, on the pocket flap, between the Fenian Raid and FLQ Crisis pins ..."

This is making the rounds on Facebook.  I don't know the validity of it:

And his Facebook page:

Made the local news. Even went to his house but no one answered.

 

[PMedMoe]

Even went to his house but no one answered.

Wonder what he'll do when the police show up.  Asshat. 

 

[kratz]

Is his in-box full of 'friend' requests?

Who?

 

[ARMY_101]

Who?

I assume Gabriel Lebrun, the person saying it's his picture of him in JTF.

 

[Conker]

This^^

Sorry it's in french, but basically, it goes like this

Random dude: "Cool pic, what armed force is it?"
Poser: JTF
Random dude: "That gear doesn't look like JTF2 to me"
Random dude 2: "USAF CCT. They're pretty much the only ones running that shroud".
Poser: "Hey ***** I know better than you who that is, it's me on that pic. Just so you know, JTF2 doesn't have any official uniform. Did you know that, huh?"

He had a bunch of random pics from other countries on his profile and was called out on every single one of them. The classic poser... He kept defending himself and when asked for proof, he said "I can't it's classified".... all while having pictures he claimed to be of him. Very consistent, huh. He then proceeded to threaten people who called him out via private messaging that he'd come beat them up, etc.

He eventually closed his account and did another one, but this time he made his profile private.

Hmmm.... there is where a French profile would be useful (to hell with the PER point).

He seems to like to intersperse his Facebook pictures with apparently real pictures of operators.

I don't get how these congregations of clowns can take themselves seriously....

Ah.... Seems public to me.

I think I'd probably like to know him better.  Better add him as friend!

In fact, I encourage everyone to add him!

Hm, it appears Sparky McTard studied at RMC St Jean.

I am surprised that the Montreal Police haven't shoot these wannabes while they play in East Montreal yet.  Photos of an Industrial Park near the Big 'O' with this guy and his Airsofter friends running around armed should have raised one or two concerns.  And then he Tags them all in his photos.  Brilliant.

Now that I check with another FB account, indeed they are still public. Looks like he simply blocked me on my other profile.

IIRC from what we found out trolling his profile, he didn't. He just wrote that for ??? reason, but he never went there.

He deleted most of the pics/comments he got called out on, but some are still there.
