It was a good thing he didn't do a double gun gesture which might have cause fatalities.

He’d been in real trouble had he made the hand gesture for masturbation. The sexual harassment crowd would have buried him.

If that is a crime then this guy should get life in prison.

He’s lucky he wasn’t in California.
They might have determined that it was a fully automatic assault finger and amputated.

What’s the statue of limitations on that? Some road rage dude did that to me on a California freeway 20 or 25 years ago.

The middle finger is a sexual assault.

According to the story, Kirchner was walking with a woman, but there’s no woman in the video of him making the gun gesture.

So, it’s a crime to make a gun gesture at someone, and then immediately walk away, but it’s NOT a crime for a mob to congregate in front of someone’s house, should obscenities with bullhorns, and make thinly-veiled threats against his wife and children?

"It was a good thing he didn't do a double gun gesture which might have cause fatalities."

Or make a gesture as if he were shooting a rifle.

Waiting for the Joe Biden the Groping Pedo pantomiming shooting a Shotgun GIF.

[[The 64-year-old was found guilty, but appealed, arguing the hand gesture didn’t “create a hazardous or physically offensive condition.”]]

The skitzo courts have ruled that people can give police the middle finger- and state that it is ‘protected free speech’ but they turn around and make it a crime to do a gun gesture? I guess some free speech is freer than other free speech?

How soon before hand gestures get ‘red flagged’ and people lose their right to own guns?

Now we need finger control? Finger background checks? Red flag finger laws? An assault finger ban?
