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.

What is happening to our country? Toy gun bans and confiscation? BB gun bans and confiscation?

This is the state of liberal minds. They have forcibly confiscated property and denied a man of his liberty through inprisonment.

That's unacceptable.

Hopefully, there are some good lawyers out there (not in the gubmit, obviously...cuz they are GOOD lawyers), that will sue 1) the gubmit, and 2) the low life piece of Obama-crement that turned in this person.

Also, just for the fun of it, I really think someone ought to put the address of the playground dork that started this thing.

Yes, really.

Let the chips fall where they may.

That's a good way to get your ass kicked around here.

The Democratic Party! To properly name them it should be called the Democratic Communists Party. It is about time to start the label. If you doubt that check the definition of communism.

Moral of the story: Get the Hell out of a Democrat-controlled state before they put up fences to keep you in.

When they came for the toy guns I did nothing because I had no toy guns...

What was he arrested for?

I assume its (still) legal to own a rifle in that state. And shooting a BB gun with your kids is NOT “brandishing” (who teaches libtards to used these big words they don’t understand?)

I’m glad NYPD is spending their time and resources going after dads playing with their children and toy guns. We wouldn’t want them spending time arresting real criminals.

Amen. With all the sane people leaving those totalitarian states, the insane people left there will pass laws demanding payment before you can leave.
Get your family out now!

Nothing new. I remember, 43 years ago, a family of NY kids being arrested for playing with toy guns.

RE :”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”

Was it a ‘toy’ gun or a ‘BB’ gun or both?

... as the second is illegal in NYC, has been for many decades.

I read it to see what the charge was. resisting arrest?

Another classic case of the chronic, no-cure, mental disease known as liberalism.
The communists are doing everything they can to indoctrinate our young and doing it by demonizing firearms. They know they cannot take us over unless we are totally disarmed. They are looking at the long term and trying to raise a whole generation of people that will will hate firearms. Many are questioning if CWII will break out before that happens.

“I don’t tend to take things lying down, [translation: I am a rude, self-important liberal and everyone must acknowledge my opinion] 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.”

Thankfully the guy's kids didn't have candy cigarettes in their mouths in addition to their dad playing with a piece of plastic molded to look like a gun. They would be in a foster home by now. The personal opinions of liberals are now being enforced as law by police. Welcome to Hell.

****Smilios saw the toy up close, and at first thought it was the real thing. She gave CBS 2 a cellphone photo she said shows Pawlowski firing pellets at a tree.

“The next thing, he took his son, who is 3, and showed him how to use it, and then the family took turns shooting the gun. He gave it to his daughter, who took off on the bicycle and started racing around the park with the gun pointing this way and just started pointing it at the kids,” Smilios said.****

As a parent, I would have been concerned about that girl pointing a BB gun at my child or any others.

Just sayin’

Mr Pawlowski should heed your opinion.

Nanny-staters need some “chop busting”.

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.

Yet the thugs walk free with their 45”s.
