lemme see, he had this AK-74 lookalike, with the orange tip removed, and he had a pistol likewise with the orange tip removed. sounds like a thug to me, trying to intimidate people with his ‘weapons’. where were his parents when he a) got the guns, and b) removed the orange tip. he purposely led people top think that they were real guns rather than toys. the cop was correct to have the impression that the kid wanted him to have - that they were real.
stupid kid paid the price for being ‘a tough guy’
So it is now open season on all kids legally carrying their toyguns???
I observe that this incident occurred in heavily gun-controlled California, in an area heavily populated by illegal aliens. I suggest for consideration that if honest citizens were not obstructed from arming and defending themselves, and if illegal aliens were routinely deported, then junior grade thugs would be less likely to commit (simulated) armed robbery.
You were at the scene, correct?
