NJ cop staples finger, gets permanent disability

[green73]

Christopher Onesti, who now lives in Drexel Hill, Pa., collects a police disability pension for life because he stapled the ring finger of his non-shooting hand. State authorities ruled he is “totally and permanently disabled” — no longer able to handle a gun or perform duties as a New Jersey Transit cop.

Yet as a retiree, Onesti now visits firing ranges to shoot a high-powered rifle for fun between trips to the bank to cash nearly $46,000 a year in tax-free pension checks.

New Jersey Watchdog obtained a recent video of Onesti — who retired at age 29 — showing off with a SSG 69 favored by Austrian Army snipers. After shooting five rounds, he turned to the camera to flash a big smile.

SMFH. I mean what do say about this kinda crap?

I know of a former state patrolman in Ohio who is on disability. He farms and breeds horses and dogs. Sling those heavy tools around, run that equipment over rough ground, lug those bags of feed.....NO PROBLEM.

Nothing but a common thief.

I really don't understand how some people live with themselves

I know they must exist, but I've never met someone on disability who wasn't able-bodied.

I've got a buddy who's a paraplegic, he wants nothing to do with government or their handouts...

The sponges are a different breed.

Looks like he got himself a new jeep and some beachfront property. Lol at "Atlas Shrugged" in his favorite books.

If it sounds believable, it's probably an Onion story.

SS is a forced "investment". I don't blame any for collecting on it.
I hope to recoup some of my loss eventually,, if it is still available.
