Ridiculous! - The Firearms Forum

pinecone70 · 09-22-2009, 03:00 PM

This has to be one of the more ridiculous news stories I've seen in a while.

This is the kind of reporting that crummy news sources love to use to make all "gun people" look bad/dangerous/etc.

Gun-wielding bird owner causes Pa. school lockdown

YORK, Pa. -- Police say a man using a BB gun to protect his birds from cats led to an elementary school lockdown in Pennsylvania.

York schools Superintendent Sharon Miller said Tuesday that a report of a gun-wielding man outside Alexander Goode Elementary School came in at 8 a.m.

Officers surrounded the building with about a dozen vehicles. Some students cried as they left school, while parents who had heard rumors waited anxiously.

York Police Capt. Wes Kahley says the man was shooting at cats that were attacking pigeons he raises for a living.

Kahley says the man did not commit a crime, but exercised bad judgment.

"Bad judgement"?! Was he on his own property? If so, then he could shoot that BB gun as much as he likes! Freakin' liberal left-wing gov't-controlled media douchemongers!!

pinecone70 · 09-22-2009, 03:28 PM

Honestly, isn't that stupid?? It's a BB gun, for crying out loud, it's not as if he were totin' the big guns around. Feh, children crying as they left school....OMG.

If no crime was committed, why is it news?

Keep in mind that kids have been kicked out of school for bringing GI Joe action figures to class (little plastic army men), or drawing pictures of firearms.

If there is one thing I cannot stand, it is people who try to ride the fence on every issue that comes up.

bcj, stop beating around the bush and tell us what you REALLY think of the media!

Hmmm.

On second thought, you better not -
It would be censored for language.

GREAT posts, guys!
In my day, the KIDS all had guns and no one thought a thing about it.
Now an adult with a bb-gun causes a panic.
What a bunch of limp-wristed pantywastes the population has become.
Ewww!
A GUN!!!!!!!!
RUN and HIDE before it SHOOTS someone!
What a world this has become!

I'm not sure what you're trying to say with your "limp-wristed" comment

Now we all know that guns are evil and they can fly around by themselves and kill thousands of people everytime they fire a shot

If brains were dynamite, most liberals couldn't blow their noses

mrkirker · 09-23-2009, 10:44 AM

With the advent of news 24/7, items that would have not made the 'cut' are used to fill time. The newspapers have followed suit in a effort to keep up.

We could all do with 'less' news, IMHO. (2¢)

Marlin T · 09-23-2009, 06:49 PM

What is even more RIDICULOUS is that none of these stories hit the airwaves, not even Fox.

F'in liberals, I have to loathe them because of their actions.

If more people would do this, there would be a lot less scum sucking maggots on the street. Oh, but wait. According to the liberals, it's not the criminal's fault. It's OUR fault for forcing these poor unfortunate individuals into a life of crime. Why should they have to work to get the things they want?

It's not news anymore, nor has it been for a very long time.

It's PROPOGANDA.

The media is complicit in supporting the destruction of our rights. They mistakenly believe they will be untouched. They too will be surprised, just as those that deny the existence of the FEMA camps, as they are herded in beyond the locked gates, to their final resting place.

Deny, deny, deny................oooops...........holy crap! They were right!

Too late.

We are at the cusp of TOO LATE now, for the country. And we're all out of miracles. The masses will either fall asleep again, or some super large crisis will have to be dealt with, where the elite will complete their plan for total takeover.

And while everyone was up in arms over an air rifle within a mile of the school, some bully in a classroom was probably beating the c**p out of some geek kid right under their noses and that never gets in the news.
