Freemane Brown; phony SEAL with a tin cup

Freemane Brown

Chip sends us a link from WFLA in regards to this Freemane Brown fellow. He’s a 54-year-old who stood guard outside a grocery store and “aggressively” solicited donations from customers for veterans. He pretended to be Navy SEAL (with SEAL Team 6, of course) and that he had earned the rank of Commander, along with a Navy Cross, a Silver Star, a Purple Heart;

During questioning…Brown admitted he was never a Navy Officer nor a Navy Seal.

Deputies say he allegedly purchased all of his military insignias including the Navy uniform at a local Army/Navy surplus store.

The article continues that Browne wisely gave his phony finery to the officers at the scene of his crime, and then later he was arrested at his home for “a felony charge of unlawful use of uniforms, medals, or insignia”. He is currently residing at the local hoosegow.

Florida!!!

  1. Hey, give F-L-A credit this time. The guy’s in jail facing felony charges.

    A word of advice to any other fakers out there in Florida. You might want to take note of that little fact.

    1. Hondo. I’m so offended by what he Did. Why Seal team SIX ???
      and not Three ????
      Or
      SF ???? 🙂
      Let alone
      Rangers
      BHWHAHAHA ! ! !

      1. Maybe he’s really part of the 69th Rump-Romper Regiment out of San Foo-foo, CA?

    1. Prison pic looks like he’s already sampled the local hoosegow’s specialty – cockmeat sammich with extra manmayo!

  2. Let me guess: Just around the corner was his official U. S. Navy Seal pink pimpmobile. And he had two crack ho’s working the corner for him, dressed up as little baby seals; saying theys Daddy be a big ol’ Navy Seal away on a sekrit mizzon.

  3. Nothing says LEGIT like the large oak leaves on the collar, and the goattee, and the Navy CROSS, and everything else!

    The Navy CROSS community is tiny in the Navy.

    This creature IS NOT one of them!

  4. Hmm-Navy Cross, Silver Star, Purple Heart, CAR, but a little shy on campaign medals. Maybe an AFEM and I think I see a Kosovo medal, but nothing else. That’s a lot of bling for what would have to be pretty small fights.

    1. Felony conviction and in the klink?…more like
      CMDR Goatee Goatsee.

      /THIS TERM IS NOT SAFE FOR WORK OR LIFE!!

      1. That’s a mental image that will take some time to leave my brain. Thanks, Chip!

  5. Only 2K bail? Chump change compared to what he probably has already received after rattling his cup for two days.

    He’ll be back on the streets by supper time tonight, this time dressed in Air Force ACU’s with a copy of his shaving profile as proof of having caught the PTSD.

  6. And we all know how over-represented African Americans have been in the Special Ops community, most especially the Navy SEALs. Didn’t we just read that there were so many Blacks in the field that they were being killed at a higher rate than their white comrades? No? I’m sure I saw something like that a while back. sarc/off

  7. Huh, phony vet in Flori-duh acts like a jackals and gets thrown in jail.

    Someone down there made a poor choice of moving down there, and might want to be real careful about what he claims to be to whom.

    YMMV.

  8. Guess he is not a Freemane anymore as he’s locked up now for being a first order turd…

    Ahh well karma she can be a bitch of a harsh mistress…

    1. I’m sure Bubba & Thor have renamed him “Piggy” while he *SQUEEEEAAALS*… 😈

  9. Because of all the Flakes dropping out of the sky
    I’m hearing of a New Group starting up called BULLSHIT KEEPERS. That’s right it’s to help these turds KEEP THIER B.S. To them selfs
    Ha ha ha ha!!!!

    I’m done being a asshole 🙂

  10. What IS it about Florida? The air? The water? The sunshine? The Florida-tion IN the water?
    Inquiring minds, and all that, ya know.

    1. Woodman I live in Florida and I can’t even tell ya. But then I’m not from here originally. I will say though I’ve run into my share of questionable individuals who claim high speed military service.

  11. Aggressive solicitation of funds, huh? That can get the ‘solicitor’ seriously injured in my neck of the woods. Our hobos might be bedraggled and a little smelly, but they are always polite.

  12. A great EO hire for All-Points Logistics.

    Commander, SEAL, etc. The False Commander Phil Monkress (CEO of All-Points Logistics) has to be loving this!

    1. Hey, doesn’t Turd Bolling or Principal Hinson need another EO fake SEAL hire up in Memphis?

      Freemane should change AO’s after trial and sentence are completed.

  13. Here’s a close-up of the guy’s ribbon rack, courtesy of the link Kevin posted above:

    The EGA device on the AFEM is a nice touch. Theoretically possible, but if he’s also claiming to be a SEAL – IMO not too likely. (smile)

    1. Only a Rifle Sharpshooter? Even after all those CAR’s and an EGA on the AFEM? Time to visit the EENT guy and get some new BCG’s.

      Loser.

    2. And so courtesy of George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic:

      We gotta turn this mother out!!
      Oow, we want the bling!
      Give up the bling!
      Oow, we need the bling!
      We gotta have that bling!

      Repeat chorus as necessary until LSOS fesses up and stops doing stupid shit.

    3. I also noticed how impressively accurate that rack is. The Kosovo Campaign Medal is out of place, but other than that everything is in order as far as I can tell. He even spaced the SEAL badge and wings properly. I’m pretty good at spotting fakes, but that uniform is one of the better ones we’ve seen here by far.

  14. It’s only 132 miles from Tampa to Merritt Island. Does All Points Logistics provide a relocation allowance?

    1. Yes, but all applications must be submitted to Elaine Ricci for approval prior to payment.

      1. Elaine Ricci can’t process any travel claims, she is teaching the Corporate Ethics Class this week.

        1. Shit, I screwed that up anyway.

          I just now remembered, after getting a couple of hard limeades in me, that Elaine doesn’t work for Phil/APL.

          She’s the XO for Psul of the FirsTech/No Mailbox Lid Corporation if/when she actually shows up for work.

          So disregard submitting relocation allowance applications to Elaine Ricci.

  15. He was definitely Navy. That uniform is almost perfect with the exception that SEALs don’t typically wear their wings and his Kosovo Campaign Medal is out of place.

    He even pressed the shirt, which you don’t usually see.

    I’m betting he was a PO3, probably did four years.
