Nichols said he was unimpressed with the Tisbury School resource officer’s alleged trips to Xtra Mart to get coffee when children came to school in the morning. While dining at Linda Jean’s a couple of weeks ago, Nichols said he told a friend about this and suggested somebody could “shoot up the school” in that officer’s absence, which he described as “leaving his post.”Getting coffee instead of guarding the school must be a vital right for the Tisbury police. Admittedly the chance of a school shooting on the island of Martha's Vinyard is slight, but criticizing a police officer for leaving his post to get coffee isn't evidence of anything other than a concerned crossing guard who values hard work and dedication.Nichols said the waitress made a complaint to Tisbury Police about what she overheard and on the strength of that, Saloio and another officer relieved Nichols of his crossing guard duties while he was in the midst of performing them and subsequently drove to his home and took away his firearms license and guns.
“He came up and told me what I said was a felony but he wasn’t going to charge me,” Nichols said of Saloio.
It is PERFECTLY sensible. And not the first time i have heard of such things.
He criticized a Police Officer. The police retaliated against him. The Chief of Police yanked his LTC. Without the license he is unable to legally own any firearms. And then as he was deemed “unsuitable” those same police knocked on his door, confiscated everything they could find.
“luckily” for this guy, the police let a relative that had a valid LTC take possession of the guns.
Otherwise they would go into “safe storage” / “bonded warehouse” where they charge ridiculous fees.
The amount accrued/ owed quickly grows to triple+ the value of the gun.
But as the bonded owner is “reasonable” he will forgive the massive debt if they are just allowed to take possession and liquidate the assets.
lather, rinse, repeat as necessary.
