DHS Officer Calls in SWAT Over Veteran Practicing with Air Gun, kid you not

[HereWeGoAgain]

something fishy about the DHS cop

just happening to be in the abandoned building

It is kinda strange. They said he was thinking about buying it,but I ain't buying it.

 

[HereWeGoAgain]

A friend of mine spent a couple of years in a psych ward after drawing beads on passing pedestrians with a pellet gun from his roof.

SWAT teams showed up then too.


.

Sounds like just the place for em. That shit screams crazy.

Yep. Batshit crazy.

Haven't spoken to him in more than 20 years.


.

Had a few friends like that myself growing up. Now they have that wonderful thing called Face Book so these F'n loonies can try and reconnect with you.
Ain't technology grand.

It just cant get any stupider.

[VIDEO] SWAT Team Storms Soldier?s House After He Was Target Practicing with His Pellet Gun at Home




The veteran is now facing 'criminal mischief' charges, which are basically what they charge you with so you cant sue them for harassment.

Just more of the fascist America that is being constructed fro you children and grandchildren.


Libtards to jump in and deny it is true in 3....2....1....

A pellet can't ricochet that far.

He was firing at the window.

The vet is a disgrace and should have been dishonorable discharged.


What kind of child-man goes around shooting a pellet gun at his neighbors house.

Loser.

You didnt watch the video....

Since when has that ever stopped a libtard?

But the current case in question wasn't aiming at anyone.

Some little punk pissed his britches and called in SWAT to distract people from the dark patch in the front of his trousers.

sounds more like an observation post

 

[gallantwarrior]

What's it matter? You must have went blind years ago anyway.

Actually, I did

Had my vision surgically restored

Well, thank God for modern medicine!

And yet, there are those so blind, they will not see.

 

[gallantwarrior]

I wouldn't want some ass bouncing shit off my windows either.

Well hell, then why not just nuke him from orbit?

Your response is just exactly the kind of no-brains-no-balls thinking the fascists in control want.

Maybe one day you'll be able to kiss and suck your way up to being able to SWAT anyone at will, stupid shit.

Given our nations history of gun violence, and the anger of poster like this ^^^ it is insane to allow anyone to own, possess or have in their custody or control a firearm without a complete background check and gun safety training.

The person charged in the above case might have put out a child's eye or seriously injured a neighbors pet by his actions, which suggests a gun safety course should be necessary before anyone can own, possess, etc. an air gun.

Blah, blah, blah...yaddaah, yaddaah, yadah...it's a b-b gun fer chissakes! We're not talking murder-1 here.

 

[jon_berzerk]

He violated the first rule of shooting.

Know where your bullet is going to go.

He knew from the past that his pellets could ricochet and hit the houses under construction. He didn't take steps to prevent that from happening.

Honestly, he was lucky he only hit windows.. He really could have hit a person and caused damage. Pellet guns started off as a means to put meat on the table. Just the fact that the pellet went through double-paned glass windows demonstrates that they can penetrate the skin.

You all know that I a hard-core supporter of the 2nd and being able to carry a weapon/firearm at all times. I am just as hard-core supporter of holding people responsible for their actions with those weapons.

If you can't handle the responsibility, don't handle the weapon. It's that simple.

that he did

 

[Manchester]

Your pathetic obfuscation does not change the plain meaning of the word 'fascist' which his used entirely correctly, dumbass.

Fascism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fascism /fæʃɪzəm/ is a form of radical authoritarian nationalism[1][2] that came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe. Influenced by national syndicalism, the first fascist movements emerged in Italy around World War I, combining more typically right-wing positions with elements of left-wing politics, in opposition to communism, socialism, liberal democracy and traditional conservatism. Although fascism is usually placed on the far right on the traditional left–right spectrum, fascists themselves and some commentators have argued that the description is inadequate.[3][4]

Fascists sought to unify their nation through a totalitarian state that promoted the mass mobilization of the national community[5][6] and were characterized by having a vanguard party that initiated a revolutionary political movement aiming to reorganize the nation along principles according to fascist ideology.[7] Fascist movements shared certain common features, including the veneration of the state, a devotion to a strong leader, and an emphasis on ultranationalism and militarism.


Fascism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fascism is commonly described as far right"[32][33] although some writers have found placing fascism on a conventional left-right political spectrum difficult.[34][35][36][37][38]

Fascism was influenced by both left and right, conservative and anti-conservative, national and supranational, rational and anti-rational.[36] A number of historians have regarded fascism either as a revolutionary centrist doctrine, as a doctrine which mixes philosophies of the left and the right, or as both of those things.[37][38] Fascism was founded during World War I by Italian national syndicalists who combined left-wing and right-wing political views.

Fascism is considered by certain scholars to be right-wing because of its social conservatism and authoritarian means of opposing egalitarianism.[39][40]...

Contrary to the popular use of the term, Communist states have sometimes been referred to as "fascist", typically as an insult. Marxist interpretations of the term have, for example, been applied in relation to Cuba under Fidel Castro and Vietnam under Ho Chi Minh.[57] Herbert Matthews, of the New York Times asked "Should we now place Stalinist Russia in the same category as Hitlerite Germany? Should we say that she is Fascist?"[58] J. Edgar Hoover wrote extensively of "Red Fascism".[59] Chinese Marxists used the term to denounce the Soviet Union during the Sino-Soviet Split, and likewise, the Soviets used the term to identify Chinese Marxists.[


Fascism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The ideological roots of fascism have been traced back to the 1880s, and in particular to the fin de siècle theme of that time.[61][62] The theme was based on a revolt against materialism, rationalism, positivism, bourgeois society and democracy.[63] The fin-de-siècle generation supported emotionalism, irrationalism, subjectivism and vitalism.[64] The fin-de-siècle mindset saw civilization as being in a crisis that required a massive and total solution.[63] The fin-de-siècle intellectual school considered the individual to be only one part of the larger collectivity, which should not be viewed as an atomized numerical sum of individuals.[63] They condemned the rationalistic individualism of liberal society and the dissolution of social links in bourgeois society.[63]

The fin-de-siècle outlook was influenced by various intellectual developments, including Darwinian biology; Wagnerian aesthetics; Arthur de Gobineau's racialism; Gustave Le Bon's psychology; and the philosophies of Friedrich Nietzsche, Fyodor Dostoyevsky and Henri Bergson.[65] Social Darwinism, which gained widespread acceptance, made no distinction between physical and social life, and viewed the human condition as being an unceasing struggle to achieve the survival of the fittest.[65] Social Darwinism challenged positivism's claim of deliberate and rational choice as the determining behaviour of humans, with social Darwinism focusing on heredity, race, and environment.[65] Social Darwinism's emphasis on biogroup identity and the role of organic relations within societies fostered legitimacy and appeal for nationalism.[66] New theories of social and political psychology also rejected the notion of human behaviour being governed by rational choice, and instead claimed that emotion was more influential in political issues than reason.[65] Nietzsche's argument that "God is dead" coincided with his attack on the "herd mentality" of Christianity, democracy and modern collectivism; his concept of the übermensch; and his advocacy of the will to power as a primordial instinct, were major influences upon many of the fin-de-siècle generation.[67] Bergson's claim of the existence of an "élan vital" or vital instinct centred upon free choice and rejected the processes of materialism and determinism, this challenged Marxism.[68]

Gaetano Mosca in his work The Ruling Class (1896) developed the theory that claims that in all societies an "organized minority" will dominate and rule over the "disorganized majority".[69][70] Mosca claims that there are only two classes in society, "the governing" (the organized minority) and "the governed" (the disorganized majority).[71] He claims that the organized nature of the organized minority makes it irresistible to any individual of the disorganized majority.[71]...

"emotionalism, irrationalism, subjectivism ".. that is the Democratic Party behavior today, and after adding their racist Identity Politics ideology there is little doubt that they are led by fascists in their ceaseless struggle to be the organized minority that dominates the disorganized majority.

So don't forget to lick the boot on your neck, dweeb.[/QUOTE]

You've just copied and pasted 1,000 words and then referrenced 3 of them. Not even the most operative 3 at that. You have failed again. Very sad to see.

"Veneration of the state", there is the crux of fascism. The triumph of state of the individual.

So who did the man hit? If he didn't hurt anyone, how was he being irresponsible?

Not being a safety Nazis is now grounds for disarming a citizen and throwing them in jail for criminal mischief?

Highlighting the bits you have selected from a wikipedia article is not making is not an argument, it's lazy. I know what the wiki artical says, I helped write some of it.

You have provided NOTHING, no explanation, no cogent arguement NOTHING. All you have done is copy and paste and attribute one small part of Fascist methodology and CLAIMED that the Democrat party do the same.

You have not proven the Demcrat Paty do what you say, you have not illustrated a direct causal link between their behavoiur and broad range on of the charecteristics of fascism but MUCH MUCH more to the point you have not proven me to be a fascist because your argument is so poor you have ATTRIBUTED ME AS A ******* DEMOCRAT WHEN I'M NOT.

Is that clear enough?

edit: One final point you fail on. No fascist has ever goose stepped, the goose step was abolished in the 1920s in both Germany and Italy.

He violated the first rule of shooting.

Know where your bullet is going to go.

He knew from the past that his pellets could ricochet and hit the houses under construction. He didn't take steps to prevent that from happening.

Honestly, he was lucky he only hit windows.. He really could have hit a person and caused damage. Pellet guns started off as a means to put meat on the table. Just the fact that the pellet went through double-paned glass windows demonstrates that they can penetrate the skin.

You all know that I a hard-core supporter of the 2nd and being able to carry a weapon/firearm at all times. I am just as hard-core supporter of holding people responsible for their actions with those weapons.

If you can't handle the responsibility, don't handle the weapon. It's that simple.

that he did

So who did the man hit? If he didn't hurt anyone, how was he being irresponsible?

Not being a safety Nazis is now grounds for disarming a citizen and throwing them in jail for criminal mischief?

careless behavior is often punishable by jail or fines

there was probably other ordinances regarding the discharge

of an air rifle in the city limits

Unless they've changed the law over the last ten years it's not a problem as long as you are doing it in a safe manor.
Obviously this guy wasnt doing it in a safe manor or his pellets would have stayed in the trap. That being said this is a slap on the wrist offense and they way over reacted.

yes it was an over reaction that is for sure

 

[Sunshine]

I wish they would come to my neighborhood. I have a neighbor behind me that is always out target practicing. There are houses on 3 sides of him. Mine is one. I've called the sheriff about it and am told that there is no law against shooting in a subdivision out in the county. So, I will just have to wait until he shoots the grandbaby before I can do anything about it. One of the bricks on my house already is broken where a bullet has hit it. The people doing this shit are a bunch of yankees, so clearly they don't know anything about the safe use of guns. They just move out into the KY countryside and think they can do whatever the **** they want. And up to now they have been able to.

If you live in a subdivision with other houses right around you, then you need to do your target practice somewhere else.

Sorry, I just cant sympathize on this one. The reaction was an overreaction to be sure, but other than that, I see nothing wrong. They guy was shooting in a closely built neighborhood and hit a neighbor's house. He's lucky he didn't put someone's eye out.

See my post above. He hit a neighbor's house. I grew up in KY where we are taught the safe handling of guns. You don't target practice in places where you could hit another person or property.

What exactly is this guy shooting? A pellet rifle might put a small chip on a brick unless he's shooting one of these.
[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XlxcFSq5k8c]Air Rifle that Shoots through Cement Blocks! - YouTube[/ame]

And if a bullet hit your house it wasnt a "pellet" gun.
And the house behind the guy is abandoned.
If done properly there is really no danger in shooting a pellet gun in your backyard.

If I were you I would talk to your neighbor and tell him you want to see his backstop and make sure it was safe. If he refuses I would set up a pellet gun range and see how comfortable he is when you start shooting.
Who knows,you might find it's a lot of fun.
