The same sort of thing happened at a building I used to work at, as inside security. Someone reported to me that a man dressed all in black came into an office cubicle area carrying a sword. Lucky me, I got to investigate.
It turned out to be a man I already knew, dressed in all black, including a black umbrella (it was raining out) with a handle made to look like a samurai sword, on a sling over his shoulder. We had a chuckle, and I suggested that he put a different handle on his umbrella (he could change handles on his) to avoid panicking the nervous nellies.
I wonder how exactly the guy slung it over his shoulder and “appeared to cock it” as was reported to police?
A couple of very funny movies....
This EXACT scenario occured at the South Shore Plaza in Massachusetts 4 years ago. Samurai sword handled umbrella mistaken for a rifle. It shut the whole mall down for a day. Un-bull-lieva-bull.
It’s like those people who see the image of Jesus on a piece of toast. You just have to take their word for it.
Hopefully, the guy with the umbrella did not get hurt (unless he works for the Umbrella Corporation in Raccoon City).
Most NYers are obviously extremely ignorant about firearms.
Oh, wow! That’s a MkV “John Steed” Sword-cane/Assault Umbrella with a samurai sword hilt mod!
Bunch of liberal retards live in Syracuse.
What a bunch of pussy Karen’s!
“Looks like a Samurai sword.”
Yes it does.
Note to self: Do not carry my novelty “umbrella gun” while in New York.
Wonderful.
EEK EEK ... there is a dark sinister someone following me ... oh wait, it’s just my shadow. Of course the more people are afraid of their own shadows the easier it will be to disarm them.
Imagine the chaos if he were carrying a cane!
That’s racist
RE: Sword-cane/Assault Umbrella
Which brand?
And as a friendly reminder, never turn you back on that detestably ugly abomination Rep. Al Green who used his to threaten bodily harm to anyone in DC who is a Trumper. Thinks he can do or say anything he wants.
Chuck Schumer will now demand common sense umbrella control.
In this case:
It’s not a rifle
Or any type of gun
It’s to protect from the rain
Or maybe the sun.
My take is that New Yorkers are freaked out and hallucinating due to rampant crime.
