Common sense and probable cause both dictate that any moron walking around in public carrying a loaded AR-15 fully deserves to be stopped, questioned, and as mvscal so often loves to say about stupid people, shot in the back of the head just for being such a goddamned dick. You clearly did not say ...

Apparently Van's a fucking idiot who thinks people should be arrested when they're not breaking the law. Maybe that's how things work in your neck of the woods, but not where I live. If people got locked up for not having common sense, you'd have been incarcerated years ago. In your case there is n...

Boston's finest may just be the finest in the land. Props to all of the local, state, and federal law enforcement officials involved in this investigation. Get this asshole healed up so he can answer all of your questions and, if you'll take a little advice, you can send the asshole to Gitmo for que...

Arrested? No, unless he is a dick during the investigation that should occur and he should reasonably expect to occur and should voluntarily participate in. And give up his gun because some fatass idiot cop orders him to when he's done absolutely nothing in violation of the law? Yeah, that makes pe...

Mace

He didn't violate any laws but he was clearly a threat anyway. Of course he was a threat. You're right, he didn't violate any laws....and he was legally carrying a concealed weapon. BFD! He threatened no one and the cops should have let him go. The cops escalated a situation for no reason other tha...

Mace

That's very possible, 88, but I'll let you pay the newspaper and post the rest of the story. But, even if he was just trying to make a point, he hadn't violated any laws and was not charged with any weapons charges. He was no threat to anyone.

Mace

Mace, I see two possibilities that would explain why a man would walk down a public street carrying a concealed .45 and a loaded AR-15 strapped around his neck: 1. He was out to make a political point, which is the most likely scenario since he conveniently had someone at the ready to film the resu...

Karma: the cosmic principle according to which each person is rewarded or punished in one incarnation according to that person's deeds in the previous incarnation. You better hope you never need protection from a police officer, Mace. Just sayin. And why is that, 88? I worked with law enforcement o...

Mace

Morons carrying loaded AR-15s on public streets have nothing to with real freedom. Besides, I didn't say that he wasn't entitled under the law to be just such a moron. That doesn't change the fact that he is indeed a gun whacko who was specifically out to make a point. Speculating as to his motivat...

Probably because this place is full of bible thumpers and fags.

I went to the gas station this morning and the attendant wanted to check my oil. No time to call the police, so I shot him. A chemist could tell you why the gunpowder exploded, but it would take a physicist to understand why that made the bullet go so fast. No problem, I'll give LTS a call. Thanks.

West, TX is known for having a lot of Czechs. Not only does this sound like Chechens but the Czech Republic is only a few doors down from Bosnia, and a lot closer to Chechnya than it is to here. Pretty sure there's an islamic jihadist connection. I also saw some old guys in the park playing checker...

Mace

So what did they charge him with?

Mace

This guy was only charged with Resisting Arrest, and would also be charged with other offenses if he had actually leveled the gun in a threatening manner at the officer. Oh, and he did not resist arrest.

Mace

Thanks, mvscal, but were you using the Van method of ranking or that of the rest of the board?

Mace

No you didn't, Mace. Uh, yes, I did. Hmmm..the guy's walking around brandishing a rifle and acting like a PTS candidate. If someone calls the cops with that description, of course the cops should investigate. Investigate? Yes, but it should have been clear to the cop that this guy was no danger to ...

Mace

I'm waiting for Derron, Mace and smackaholic to 'splain to me why it was unreasonable for a police officer to stop and investigate the actions of a man with an AR-15 dangling from a tactical sling on his chest (as opposed to being slung behind his back) and then handcuff said man when he apparently...

The video clearly shows that they are not in a residential neighborhood and he says in the story that he "lives out in the country near Temple, Texas." They were also on a 10 mile hike which was clearly "in the country" and not in a residential area of Temple.

Mace

Yeah, I noticed your post said Lefty when I first read it and before I watched the video. Figured it might be more clear after watching the video. Then as I am posting I see it says 88. Not only should the original cop get reprimanded, so should the supervisor on scene. Dude should have given every...

Mace

Mace, are you interchanging 88 and I now? Granted we don't know the first interactions between the dad and the cop, but while 88 makes valid points, the good folks of Temple will be shelling out some cash to this guy. I love how the cops tell the guy he isn't under arrest, just that he is being det...

Press conference at 4:00 CT for an update on the progress of the investigation. Apparently not to announce an arrest.

Mace

Gee, 88, I'll remember that the next time I'm hunting and walking down the road with a rifle/shotgun. :roll: There would have been a much better way to handle that situation than the one the cop chose. The taxpayers of Temple, Texas should pay for having hired a stupid fuck on the force who violates...

Mace

How did he resist calling the cop a "stupid fat fuck?" Taken at face value from what's on the video, that's a ridiculous violation of this guy's right to carry and, while I'm not a fan of litigation. this would be worth going that route. Hard for me to believe this happened in rural Texas,...

I see that the idiots in the world are not limited to T1B. That's comforting.

I've seen some Tundras but they're a very small part of the truck population in my part of the state. One of my insurance agents drives one but I don't know of anyone else.

Subarus will always dominate anywhere that has to deal with a lot of rain, snow and ice. Go somewhere like Truckee or Lake Tahoe and you'll see so many Subarus that you'll think they're Toyota. I've never seen a Forrester in my neck of the woods but maybe they're more popular with folks living in t...

Agreed.

If the people don't agree with the law, they should get it changed.

Jsc810 wrote:Do you have a point?

If so, then perhaps you could try to articulate it.

Apparently his point is that he only obeys laws with which he agrees and that discrimination is okay in the Wag's household. That shouldn't be too surprising to anyone.

Living over on the river will also allow mvscal to feel an immediate sense of intellectual superiority over the disproportionate number of Husker fans in the area. The Huskers are pretty well despised by my in-laws. I understand that is a fairly common sentiment in western Iowa, so we'll have that ...

Tiger is still on the course but 2 shots in back of Day right now. Definitely in good position to make a move on Saturday.

I guess that having "sex that curls my toes" is out of the question.

The western part of Iowa is by far the most rural and conservative part of the state and I think mvscal will find it a good political fit for himself. Congressman Steve King is a Tea Party kind of guy and should share a lot of common ground with our T1B poster. Living over on the river will also all...
