👮‍♂️ PLEASE Don’t Let This Happen To You!

Los Angeles, CA is a whole different level of crazy…

On Saturday, hundreds of feral liberals in the city held their annual “World Naked Bike Ride” event, which is apparently meant to protest climate change and cyclist safety.

As these woke hippies were riding their bikes through the city wearing nothing but their birthday suits, a citizen showed up and pelted them with a BB gun.

That might sound funny to you, or even well-deserved. But, cops in LA saw it otherwise.

This local news clip covered the story:

NEW: Los Angeles man arrested after shooting naked people with a BB gun as they rode their bikes through downtown Los Angeles.

Hundreds of people were spotted riding without clothes for the World Naked Bike Ride.

LAPD says a man dressed in all black riding a scooter started shooting the cyclists with a BB gun.

Two people were hit and treated for lacerations. The man was taken into custody.

This man is a hero.

The man, identified as Edward Sherpa, was arrested on charges of “assault with a deadly weapon.”

Two people were injured.

Per ABC 7:

Los Angeles police say a man dressed all in black was riding a scooter when he fired a BB gun at nude cyclists.

Two victims were treated for lacerations at the scene. Further details about their conditions were not immediately available.

The suspect was taken into custody and will be charged with assault with a deadly weapon, and more charges are pending, according to LAPD.

Since when is a BB gun a deadly weapon?

Truly, only in LA can you be arrested for shooting perverts with a BB gun, while public nudity in front of children is completely okay.

Many folks online are siding with Sherpa:

Are we not arresting people for being naked in public anymore 💀 pic.twitter.com/RNFe6JVmmC— Fabo (@FaboisMe) June 29, 2026

I'm cool with that. It should be justifiable under self defense laws. Hundreds of naked guys on bikes is the real crime here.— CFR Info (@cryptocru4u) June 29, 2026

In normal societies, riding bikes while naked is an offense.— Day Williams (@day_willia43436) June 29, 2026

This user makes a fair point:

I would venture to guess the pain of a bb is no worse than that of a bare ass crack on a bike seat.— Kendra Kay (@Chic_Chat_Chick) June 29, 2026

What are your thoughts?

Do you believe this guy is a hero or a criminal?

Come on, who in their right mind wouldn’t do the same? Jury nullification.

Too bad it wasn’t a 22 caliber Gamo Swarm Magnum PRO (up to 1300 fps) with Predator Polymag pellets.

NICE. Recommed a heavier pellet 15-16gr to stay sub-sonic. Damn near silent.

They’ll resurrect the death penalty for such a heinous hate crime.

Today the offended use BB guns.

The sane people are arrested while the insane people are protected.

This is why I’m anti-government.

Movie rights are available. Could be Armie Hammer’s next movie. But if Netflix buys the rights, it will be Idris Elba.

Ralphie was a kid with his first BB gun but he grew up.
