WhiskeyWarrior556 falls victim to New York’s red flag laws
Aerican Thinker ^ | 11/24/2019 | Taylor Day

Posted on 11/24/2019 1:29:57 PM PST by antidemoncrat

On Friday, police showed up to a young man’s workplace and tried to arrest him over social media posts reported to them by an old army buddy of the 28-year-old Afghanistan veteran. This man, known as Alex and popular on Instagram under the handle of WhiskeyWarrior556, slipped out of the back door, hurried home to check on his family where he found out police had already forced themselves into his home and confiscated his legal firearms after threatening his wife with calling child protective services to remove her newborn child.

Sad that so many are not concerned that the ravenous alligator of statist government devours our neighbors while hoping the creature is no longer hungry when it gets to them. NEWS FLASH: The damn thing is ALWAYS HUNGRY!

“The tyranny of government continues to grow...like a cancer.”

This response will bring on an avalanche of cop haters, and those who are incensed at the letters “NY” in my screen name, along with attacks from others who married a “lying b*tch” that constantly lies about him and keeps calling the cops, but here goes anyway: The local MSM (not to be trusted without supporting evidence), quotes L.E. “The incident was widely reported to be a law enforcement effort to seize firearms under ‘Red Flag’ laws. This information is incorrect. The law enforcement response and subsequent arrest was related to a domestic violence investigation. The social media frenzy heightened the stakes of the incident because law enforcement couldn’t get in touch with the community from the heavy overflow of calls and messages.” This post will flood me with anger from fellow Freepers, and I can deal with that, but I would like to hear what the Wife and Law enforcement have to say about this case.

"My experiences with such things is if someone is treated like a (insert name here (thief, bad guy, etc)) then they will begin to act like what they are being accused of since that's what people believe them to be. Not always of course and not right away; but over time it will happen most the time."

Imagine if the Left pushed the deplorables to become just that?
Then comes the "that's not who we are" plea when the pushback comes.

It is where we are headed eventually. OK, it is here NOW in some states, but it is where all 50 states will eventually wind up, under the tyranical thumb of the same opressive Federal laws.

We are racing toward the police state. The FBI is a Gestapo and doesn’t answer to anyone but the Director of the FBI.

I grieve for my country. I really have no nation left to save.

The police WILL follow orders.

In some places like New York they already are the American Gestapo.

Next is Virginia.

Had relatives who survived German rule and concentration camps. They told me about life under their rule. Seems now we can actually experience it here in the US.

This is like the EU in the 20's...is fascism building? "Fascists opposed both international socialism and free market capitalism, arguing that their views represented a third position. They claimed to provide a realistic economic alternative that was neither laissez-faire capitalism nor communism."

Saunders and Warren need your money...Harris and Buttigieg are among those who think they know better than you...

Gov. Huckabee likened President Trump to being like a Dr. with no bed-side manner; he tells you that you are 100 pounds over weight...making you mad as heck, you tell your friends how stupid the Dr. is and smear him to all who will listen. This goes on for a while and finally you, the overweight, realizes that only the Dr. is telling the truth. That is our President...he is always correct, it just takes a while for those who disagree to realize President Trump is telling the truth.

Yeah, he got picked out randomly for nothing.

That always holds up in court.

A “buddy” you say? I hope I don’t have any buddies out there.

Yeah, he must have done something, otherwise in New York they would have never raided his house for guns.

Go back to sleep.

I'll repeat the link to a YouTube video that shows the man himself in his own words:

MY MY- The details mentioned in this article bear no resemblance to the details put out by authorities to the press. IF this version is true then no one can believe anything that the authorities say.

“So hemust have done something. They don’t pull that crap if you get a burger from McDonalds.”

“Humble, unless you forgot the /S, this is the single stupidest think I’ve ever seen you post.”

Just a helpful tip, meant in a humorous context.

To BOTH of you and everyone else that posts here, spell check and “Preview” are available to everyone!

NEVER think the “/s” tag is not necessary (for someone).

NEVER post without proofreading by the means of “Preview”.

“hemust” isn’t a word and spellcheck says so and while “think” is a word and is spelled correctly, proofreading through “Preview” you likely would have noticed that you really meant to say “thing” or that spellcheck had tricked you.

And yes, I am series!

There are some here who give me a hard time for saying that very same thing with gun threads here. The dumbest thing you can do is jump in even here and make a public list of what you have. Having big chest muscles and no fear does not override the fact that there is a very fine line between bravery and stupidity. And what you have might be legal now but in two years they may not be. Too late... You already offered more information than you should have and gave them a publicly documented inventory list two years ago.

The FR is not a private members only club, it has public guest view access. And if you think they can’t find you without bothering Jim and John here I got news for you, just access and log into the FR from your phone or computer and they can be at your door within 1 day. Ask me how I know... While we should not let it intimidate us from talking about firearms, it is not prudent to post your entire inventory list, or anything that is not legal for where you are. Seriously, what they don’t know can’t hurt you...

Now if the FR were a private club, where you could only read it if you are a logged in member it would be greatly different. And there just might come a day when it might become necessary to do this for several reasons, but until then prudence is the wisest policy to protect the hosts here. There will become a time when mouths and statements made here will be getting the hosts in a lot of legal trouble. Then no one will have it, I have already seen this happen with several other websites in the past.

It is very unfortunate it has now come to this. It should not at all be so. But the reality is, it has now indeed come to this. What you share ANYWHERE on the internet is being documented, and not even by the website it’s self, and everything you say can and will be held against you. In a legal system where you are guilty until you prove your innocence, every time you post something you had better be in the frame of mind you are actually exercising your Miranda rights and have the right to remain silent as to not incriminate yourself. And this is wrong and very very hard when you want to exercise your absolute right to free speech...
