Being shot at with a pellet gun after making racial or homophobic slurs is a ‘hate crime’. Being shot at with a REAL gun and/or beaten to a pulp isn’t a ‘hate crime’. They love you unless they say otherwise,right?

Officers found a large air assault rife [sic]
Since when is an air rifle (BB or pellet gun) considered an assault weapon?

Gee, gay trumps Black in protected pecking order.

I wonder if there will be any blacklash from this.

“Officers found a large air assault rife, a tactical Airsoft pistol and a large bag of ammunition inside the car, records say.”

And Rush Limbaugh says “Words have Meaning”?
Not the words in this sentence. AIR assault rifle? TACTICAL Airsoft pistol? Ammunition?
These words are non-sense

6mm plastic balls!
Oh,,,the horror..!!! /s

Air assault rifle?

Just what is that, anyway? A pellet gun that uses some kind of spring load or compressed gas to propel a small BB is hardly an “assault” weapon. And rifling, if any, would be of negligible nature.

I cannot imagine of any successful takedown of a victim with just a threat from such a device. It would be possible to inflict some degree of injury, not likely of life-threatening nature, though depending on where the projectile struck, it could be quite painful.

Almost as painful as the homophobic slur is to some folk.

Never heard of an “assault style” pellet gun. Have they caught “Ralphie” from “A Christmas Story” yet?

I wonder why these yutes would yell a “homophobic slur” at a random stranger sitting on his doorstep. Was he wearing high heels, boxer shorts, and a feather boa?

Is it still a “homophobic slur” if they yelled it at someone who’s not homo-?

Did the perps spray high capacity hollow point pellet rounds from their air assault rifle?
