Yet another mass shooting

"..part of the reason".
You added "consequences alone.." yourself.

 

I added my whole post all by myself.

 

I'm OK with restoring the right to vote after the sentence is completed, its the while incarcerated part that I disagree with.

 

It works for most people.

 

WTF was this dude thinking; 15 minutes of fame, viral video, etc. He should have been shot for stupidity.

Man in body armor and armed with rifle sparks panic at Missouri Walmart

The man in his 20s was reportedly walking around armed and recording video. Though there was no shooting, it caused a panic days after two mass shootings.

With rights come a crap ton of responsibility. This guy has none.

 

The day before school started here one of the local high schools were having a simulated active shooter drill for the teachers/administration. Apparently the local law enforcement was not notified of this drill. A LEO friend in the department told me that they were dangerously close to making a horrible mistake when one of the staff burst through the doors to try and alert the officers on the scene that it was, in fact, just a drill.

I can't imagine what would make someone scare the [uck fay] out of an entire Wal-Mart just to see what the reaction would be.

 

I think, in his mind, he was asserting his 2nd Amendment rights because he felt they were threatened.

 

Just because you "can" do something doesn't mean you "should".

Stupid people are the ones who cost everyone else stuff. It's probably the same kid that thought he was awesome when he cost his class recess in 2nd grade because he wanted to act up.

 

There are videos on YouTube with people doing the same shit. The police show up and the people say they're there doing 2nd amendment experiments. That shit isn't cool.

 

It's like that dumbass Ohio girl that carries an AR around and interviews random people

 

she wants negative attention so bad. she shows up places with her AR-15 and a microphone, trying to get the nutty reactions. and thinks that's journalism. it's sad.

 

She's had one jackass respond, the rest just kind of look at her like "what the hell"

 

Walmart is private property. So they get to set the rules on if he can be armed on their property or not, I don't think he has much to stand on as a defense.

 

probably thought he was being a good guy with a gun

 

I'm not a lawyer, but I want to say I've read that it's 100% legal to be open carry as long as it's not in a threatening manner (round chambered and in firing position, etc) so long as the private institution doesn't have a "gun free zone" posted, it bounces to the state laws.

There are a lot of pictures of people open carrying in Starbucks/etc. It's not uncommon and they're mostly sovereign citizen types and are protected by state law. Some states require you to be a CCW holder but some don't.

But the optics here should be enough to get this kid prosecuted, IMO. He shows up dressed almost identically to the Wal-Mart shooter (black shirt, chest rig, khaki pants) at a Wal-Mart almost immediately after. He did it to elicit reactions and is damned lucky that firefighter didn't drop him.

Again, not a lawyer, but I wouldn't be surprised if they go after him for menacing.

 

I see it as yelling “Fire!” in a crowded theatre.

 

He was stopped by a good guy with a gun.

Andreychenko was arrested after he was stopped by an armed off-duty firefighter, Springfield police said.

 

Wonder how this thing plays out if the firefighter drops him.

 

Detaining someone, while not in an official capacity, is called "kidnapping."
