Background
Vincent "Vinny" McKinnon is a resident of Nova Scotia, Canada. He doesn't like people who smoke marijuana.
During the events of Def-Con 4 (1985) played by Maury Chaykin
Howe is found by Vinny after being caught in one of his traps and tells him that he has food. Vinny frees Howe from the trap and takes him to his home. He ties Howe to a chair and questions Howe and Howe tries to make a deal with Vinny and tells him he has a four month supply of food within the satellite. After negotiating, Howe agrees to give Vinny one half of the food from the satellite in exchange for a weapon. A Terminal sets off a booby trap and Vinny goes off to investigate after tying Howe’s other arm to the chair. J.J. unties Howe and they both grab weapons and ammo, but Vinny returns and orders them to drop the weapons.
Vinny kisses J.J. then orders her back into the basement and Howe outside so he can shoot Howe and not get blood everywhere in the house. Howe pleads for his life and tells Vinny about Jordan back in the satellite to which Vinny asks about the color of Jordan’s areolas. Howe and Vinny come to a deal, Howe, gets a quarter of the food and a knife while Vinny gets the rest of the food and Jordan. Howe and J.J. are placed into the bucket of Vinny’s armor plated front end loader. Two Terminals attack Howe and J.J., but are eventually killed including one being run over. They arrive at the beach and J.J. is sent by Vinny to look for the satellite. Lacey along with other Troopers walks up and they take Howe prisoner, after already capturing J.J. Vinny tries to escape, but is eventually captured when he is tricked out of the loader by Lacey who throws a dummy grenade into the cab of the vehicle. Howe, J.J. and Vinny are tied up and marched to Gideon Hayes’ camp while also passing a group of people being forced to drag the Nemesis satellite into Gideon’s camp by Vicious Trooper. J.J. and Vinny are brought before Gideon and Gideon sends them to the prison boxes.
Gideon orders a trial to be held in the morning to determine the guilt or innocence of Howe, Jordan, J.J. and Vinny. The four of them are brought into a hangar and both Howe and Jordan are accused of crimes against humanity and both are found guilty. J.J. is accused of treason and she is also found guilty. Vinny is accused of numerous yet nameless crimes and he too is found guilty. All of the accused are sentenced to be hung from their necks until they are dead. First Hangman and Second Hangman show nooses to the screaming crowd. The four sentenced are brought before the gallows and nooses are tied around their necks by First and Second Hangman. Gideon offers J.J. a pardon on the condition that she has to pull the hangman’s lever, to which she refuses. Gideon then makes the same offer to the others and Howe steps forward. He is told to pull the lever once the drum beat ends or he will be shot. Right before Howe is forced to pull the lever, Boomer shoots Gideon in the leg. Boomer is shot dead, but Howe is able to escape. Gideon demands Jordan bandage him, but Jordan refuses unless J.J. and Vinny are released from the gallows, and Gideon agrees. Lacey pees onto the head of Vinny, who is back in the prison pit and drawing a final doodle.
Vinny is removed from his cell and is ordered against a wall to be shot by a firing squad led by Vicious Trooper. Howe drives up in Vinny’s loader and shoots and kills Vicious Trooper and the other Troopers. Howe grabs their weapons and drives further into the camp. Vinny hands out weapons to the locals, which leads to a revolt. Howe and Vinny continue through the camp killing Troopers along the way. Howe and Vinny arrive at the beach in the loader and see Gideon’s sailboat floating away. Howe and Vinny swim out to the boat and Howe calls to J.J. J.J. throws a rope out to Howe and he starts to climb the rope onto the boat. After Gideon and Lacey are thrown overboard,-Howe, J.J. and Vinny sail on to the safe zone location.
