This is the same shopping area we discussed earlier this year was fighting to keep the RTA busses away. They lost the fight.

Blackadder: (Entering) Sir, that is Baldrick, spring cleaning.
Prince George: Rubbish! Look he's got a bomb!
Blackadder: That's not a bomb, it's a sponge.
Prince George: Oh yes, so it is. Well get it out of here at once, before it explodes!
He was on his cellphone. Cellphone use shuts down the brain. You can see it everyday in motorists using cellphones.
The law is, you take the victim as you find them. The cops are liable for her death as well, no matter what her medical condition might have been. These a$$hats are in serious trouble and should be imprisoned where the REAL fun begins.
I live near this WM. From all the accounts I’ve heard and read, the guy was walking around pointing it, waving it at children and other people, and threatening them. He was told to drop the “weapon” multiple times and didn’t. After the first shot he started charging at the cops.
Who knows for sure, but the media is sure pushing the innocent man with a toy gun. I think there is more to the story.
It was a Crosman MK-177. Most Walmarts keeps them locked up in the ammo aisle. They are not sold in the toy department. A person would have to be beyond stupid to take it out of the packaging and load it in the store or point it at somebody.
Just think if the cops hung out in a place like Cabelas...They could really rack up some scores...
PIGs gonna have to take sides one day.
Looks to me that a “concerned customer” that called the cops has actually developed a new method of “swatting”.
Confusion. At one moment the guy is minding his business, looking at a gun he may want to buy. The next moment he's got a cop pointing a gun at him. He knows the "gun" he's holding his harmless. He has no idea he's been reported as dangerous. While his mind is desperately trying to process what's going on, and he tries to explain to the cop, he gets shot.
If you want to look at a gun in a store, and it's in an open box, never point it anywhere but at the ceiling. And if you decide to buy it, PUT IT IN YOUR SHOPPING CART. Don't wander around holding it. In a shopping cart, everyone will recognize it's a purchase.
B I N G O !
Unfortunately that’s not the way it happened from all I’ve heard. He was walking around the store threatening multiple customers and pointing it at children. He was on the far side of the store from where the BB guns are located.
Why, that’d be like catching fish in a big aquarium.
Or give them each one round, make them carry it in their shirt pocket and ask permission before loading the pistol.
If Crawford unpackaged the Crosman in sporting goods then there should definitely be a recording of him doing so. Also, recordings of his route through the store considering how many cameras they have.
I Open-Carry in the Petoskey, Michigan Walmart every time I go there. Nobody has ever said a word about it to me.
It’s a very safe town. I guess no-one cares too much about it.
“He was walking around the store threatening multiple customers and pointing it at children. He was on the far side of the store from where the BB guns are located.”
Details, details, this is a COP-BASHING thread - now GET WITH THE PROGRAM. (lol)
