1. It would have been nice

If he had stayed in jail until November 9th

2. What state is this. So often neither the OP nor the local paper link tells us

the state.

9. Michigan nt

3. What ever happened to a simple "Damn Kids Get offa my lawn!"

Pulling a pistol on a group of 12-14 year old kids because of his political sign? And he didn't even see these kids do anything to it, he just assumed. Sounds pretty deplorable to me.

4. Wow

They are just so goddam angry, all of them. Those poor kids--I don't care whether they damaged his sign or not--holding them at (even unloaded) gunpoint was a reaction that was totally off the charts in terms of a reasonable response. And it could have ended badly in all kinds of ways--what if a kid's parent came out with a gun that was loaded?

And I don't care if his amygdala made him do it. A person with such a deranged reaction to children should not have been able to purchase a gun.

5. Grown man needs a gun to deal with 12 to 14 year-olds. This country

thinks guns are the solution to everything.

6. Stupid bastard.

One good thing, assuming he's convicted, he will never own another gun.

[VOX]

8. And this pinhead had a goddamn concealed carry permit...

Perfect. Too perfect. Politically deranged, and in possession of a firearm.

Temperamentally, how close was this guy to coming completely unglued like the Trump-supporting cop-killer in Des Moines?

Sadly, there will be more of these psychotic-rage behaviors in the days ahead. You don't need to be psychic to make that sad prediction.

10. Wow. This guy is lucky to be alive.

I am not by nature a violent man. Have walked away from many potential fights while being called coward. Will not fight for some silly notion called pride. But I am a gun owner and hunter.

If my kid called or texted me that some crazy man was point a gun a him and holding him hostage, I would prove the even liberals can resort to 2nd amendment solutions.

I am a man of peace but I am not a pacifists. Threaten my child with a gun and I would shoot to kill.

[Warren DeMontague]

11. Hey, maybe he wont make bail.

Sure would be a shame if the rage-drunk ass couldnt make it to the polls because of this.


Yes, sir.

[struggle4progress]

12. see? it's gettin so a guy can't even threaten a buncha kids at gunpoint nowadays

without some politically-correct busybody callin the cops! how can we protect our yardsigns? whatever happened to our second-amendment right to shoot first and ask questions later?

[grabber]

13. Just leave peoples signs alone is the answer

They have every right to put whatever political sign on their lawn that they want. Its a good thing, identifies where they are.

14. phew, glad I live in Blue Oregon!

been watching out for Trump lawn signs, haven't seen even ONE! I live in Salem, capital city of Oregon. The only signs I've seen in the past few months including this weekend jaunt through town are for local/state Democrats running for office. Last summer, I did see a truck with 2 confederate flags flying through our alley but that's about it here in God's Blue country!
