"He was like, 'You're going to pay. You're going to pay. Everybody's going to pay.' That's when I walked away and I thought this guy is talking a little gibberish," she said. Witnesses also said the man appeared to be acting erratically outside of the coffee shop, even banging on one of the shop's front windows. The witness added that the man walked into the store, approached the younger man who was with his girlfriend seated at a table and began acting aggressively toward him, which may have led to the confrontation.

SPJNK. With a skateboard.

You jest but you should see the floor in the backseat of my car.

[I’m Negan] :D

Just be sure to carry a thrift store mitt, too, because you just never know when you’ll run into a nice little pickup ball game.

Far more people are killed by bare hands and feet than by pistols

Note the article is from 2015. So the Kenosha ADA lied to the jury. (Which should be a crime - except for qualified immunity, which therefore should be rescinded.)

Kung fu, well that was one of my good ones
Well what’s a few broken bones when we all know it’s good clean fun

Skateboards, I’ve almost made them respectable
You see I can’t always get through to you, so I go for your son

What a coincidence - days after the Kenosha DA said a skateboard can’t be used as a weapon.

Well, that story is from 2015 but too bad the defense didn't bring it to dispute the a-hole prosecutor's claim.

No. Sometimes you just need to take a beating.

How Much Does A Skateboard Weigh? [Explained]
By
Dirk Rutherford
November 17, 2021
The typical skateboard weighs around 5 to 7.5 lbs (2 to 3.4 kg) with all components attached. That includes the deck, trucks, wheels, bearings, and hardware. However, some skateboards can weigh more or less than others depending on the components that you purchase.

---

No one wants to have 7.5 pounds of laminated wood and steel upside the head.

Weighs nearly 4 times more than than an average Louisville Slugger.

Other than my ccw I have a full sized hickory drift pick handle in each of my vehicles within easy reach. Perfectly legal, and perfectly devastating.

skateboards don’t kill people, antifa kills people

[Salamander]

Somebody should’ve cited CA law

Good observation.
It would make a effective weapon and a way to escape.

[Tommy Revolts]

It’s a skateboard, not a weapon. C’mon man.

[Salamander]

There ya go.

I left the thrift store price stickers on the Sluggers, cuz hey, maybe I just bought ‘em and forgot to take them out of the car yet.

/that’s the ticket

[Salamander]

Even better, I’ve seen “youths” walking around carrying folded up “Razor scooters”.

Even nastier than a skate board.

[Wayne07]

Dunno if you have kids of Razor scooter age, but carrying those things around is deadly to your ankles.

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

Are the Facebook fact-checkers reporting this as fake news?

[fuzzylogic]

It would be a shame if a bunch of patriots went to one of these Antifa gatherings and focused on those with skateboards. They bring them as weapons and should be treated as such.

We could start mounting them on our walls as trophies, along with a photo of the moron after unmasking them. They hide behind the masks, step one should be to grab them - it’s so coincidental that the mask mandates happened at the same time as these riots.
