EXCLUSIVE: Man Arrested For Allegedly Shooting Realistic Toy Gun With Kids In Queens Park
CBS New York ^ | May 8, 2013 | Dave Carlin

Posted on 05/09/2013 8:22:38 AM PDT by ConservativeInPA

As CBS 2’s Dave Carlin reported, Jack Pawlowski was led out of his Queens home in handcuffs Wednesday, with his stunned wife and three young kids looking on. He said nothing as detectives put him into a squad car.

. . .

Pawlowski told CBS 2 he took a toy gun, and two of his kids, around the corner to Ditmars Park. It was around noon and packed with kids and their parents.

. . .

Another mom who was on a playground at the park at the time said she walked up to Pawlowski, and told him to take the toy gun and his kids and leave.

“I don’t tend to take things lying down, so I went past the parents, and so I walked straight over and I confronted him,” said Leni Calas. “I mean, he’s brandishing a firearm and I don’t care if that firearm is plastic. That’s unacceptable.”

. . .

He remained in custody Wednesday evening, on charges of reckless endangerment, endangering the welfare of a minor, resisting arrest, and possession of an illegal BB gun.

My Daughter wouldn’t. I also wouldn’t take a Liberal scumbags word that this was what she was doing without photographic proof of same.

The fruits of Feminism.

Exactly. I hope one day men start acting like men, women act like women and children are left to be kids again.

Photos in post #100. You can buy either of them at Wal-Mart for around $20.

Would you let your daughter shoot a bb gun then ride around a crowded park and point it at 2 year olds?

I wouldn't allow my daughter to ride a round a park and be obnoxious. But I think you are missing the point here. The toy was not a BB gun, at least not what most people would consider a BB gun. A real BB gun can kill small animals like rabbits and ground hogs (which I do in my yard, since I do not want to discharge a rifle). If you snap your fingers next to your cheek you will get the idea of what it feels like to be hit a plastic pellet from one of these toy guns.

Bastards just voted in CO to give driver’s licenses to illegals. We used to be fairly conservative here not so long ago.

That is why RED states shouldn't let BLUE STATERS move in...

Good idea. “The Democratic Communist Party.”

I called the Democratic Party the 'American Zombie Party', because their voters are brain dead!

airsoft is specifically NOT a bb gun.

this is just reporting malpractice.

NYC needs to be quaranteened. All liberals locking on the island and the bridges removed.

The only way to reverse it is literally going to require a Civil War, IMO.

I have often thought the same thing. Need to prune the evolutionary tree...

This is the wrong case for us to defend our Second Amendment rights.

The realistic looking bb gun in question has been illegal in New York for decades.

Plus he was incredibly unsafe. He took it to a crowded New York City park and fired it with lots of children present. He let his family shoot it, even his 3 year old son. He then gave it to his daughter who pointed it at 2 year old children as she rode around on her bike.

What can a plastic pellet do to a 2 year old’s eye?

We need to talk but we also need to act.

IMO ... the time for all talk and no action has long past. The "boxes" that we have to change things have been mostly nullified ... activist judges, rigged elections. Short of shooting ... something of REAL consequence needs to start happening to people who engage in the wussification, and communist indoctrination of the citizenry. Suing the system is NOT the answer as it only enriches the lawyers and the settlements are paid out of the taxpayers pockets.

The Founders would not recognize this nation.

The founders would have revolted against todays gubmint a long time ago ... in fact they would probably be pretty revolted by what the country has become and would also probably wonder if their sacrifice was worth it. We as a nation should hang our heads in shame.

Please reference post 44 where I recognize that there are still many patriots in occupied NY.
