The liberals in this country have brought us to the point where anything even resembling a weapon puts us into a hysteria.
In a world where it’s just as possible that could have been a real gun, the risk to the public is too high not to respond. Easy to sit in your computer chair and call it an over reaction, but if there was someone with what appeared to be a fire arm threatening you or your family, you’d want the same response.
Incredibly stupid on the part of these youth and the adult. Displaying what appears to be a weapon could get you killed (and I don’t mean just that police could think it is real shoot you either).
Why was the paintball gun seized?
crazylegs, where in this article did it say someone was being threatened?
I too wonder why the paint ball gun was seized… its not illegal to have a paint ball gun, so must be dumb people that stole it or just don’t know their rights? They should go down and demand to have their gun returned IMO.
