On Tuesday when we wrote about Rasheen (Illuminati) Harrison—the 24-year-old Staten Islander who went into a rage early Sunday morning and stripped naked, pooped on the floor, smeared his poop on his girlfriend's apartment door and lit it on fire—one of our commenters said that "It's clear this man is mentally ill." Apparently a judge in Staten Island agrees because today he sent Illuminati for a psychiatric evaluation.
Before that, however, Illuminati put on a show for reporters waiting outside of the courthouse. "I'll steal your fucking camera," he told them after spitting in their direction. "Get the fuck out of my face before I throw shit."
He also laughed and made a few references to Tupac Shakur for good measure. Though he initially seemed angry about the coverage he changed his tune before entering the building, pausing to rant at the camera. Saying, among other things that "I ain't a blood or a crip. I got my own gang—millionaire mob gang!"
