loki0629 55 Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 "An 11-year-old Ocoee boy was arrested for playing with a toy gun. Police said the arrest was necessary, because it was a safety issue." Will someone in law enforcement please chime in and give me a clue as to what the "safety issue" may have been? Can charges really be justified because the victim was afraid? Clowns creep me out. The next time I run into one I expect the police to be there to arrest them and to assure me that they are not in fact monsters in disguise like in Stephen King's novel, It. Although as an aside even my 6 year old boy knows not to point his toy gun at strangers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gaddis 1,689 Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 Figures his last name woud have to be "Woods" too. Maybe he should have gotten him a length of hollow bamboo tubing and a piece of string like that one headhunter tribe wears. Shit, some guys would be happy... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chris410 0 Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 What a joke, but not surprising, We are turning into a nation of weenies. I cant believe how terrified of guns some people can be, it is just ridiculous.The kid probably shouldnt have been pointing it at other cars, but hey, HE'S A KID!!! The sad thing is that the poor kid will probably develop a distrust of police now, and they deserve it. Innocence lost over a rubber band gun. As for the never ending boner...

SaltPeter 6 Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 (edited) About the kid who was arrested: it doesn't say what he was charged with but here is the Florida Statute that they must have used: 784.011 Assault.-- An "assault" is an intentional, unlawful threat by word or act to do violence to the person of another, coupled with an apparent ability to do so, and doing some act which creates a well-founded fear in such other person that such violence is imminent. 784.021 Aggravated assault.-- An "aggravated assault" is an assault: (a) With a deadly weapon without intent to kill; or ( b ) With an intent to commit a felony. Now they must have used aggravated assault (784.021) because it says he was facing felony charges and simple assault (784.011) is a misdemeanor. But is a rubber band gun a deadly weapon? As a Florida cop, would I have charged him? No fucking way. Edited June 6, 2007 by SaltPeter Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bayoupiper 738 Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 No, I would not have arrested him. It would have been a simple matter to pull them over, check them out, see what happened and say "Be more careful next time." I wonder if it was a reserve officer with a chip, or some overzealous rookie. Now I did arrest a kid with a realistic C02 BB pistol once..................................

Bvamp 604 Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 gaddis, "the devils rejects" was definately better than the first rob zombie venture "house of 10,000 corpses". I am actually impressed with rob Z's director skills, AND his wife. isnt that frank zappa's daughter??? definately worth watching both flicks in order (house of 10k corpses was the first one in the series), if you have never heard of these, and have time to watch without the kids. awesome gun fight in the beginning of the second movie, btw. REALLY good music, too. well done flick, devil's rejects. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bill 0 Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 Hubba,Hubba Gaddis, WHO is that lovely blond haired 'clown'? Yours?? That lovely clown can try to creep me out anytime! If shes yours then you seem to be a lucky man ----for her putting up with YOU!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gaddis 1,689 Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 Um, I wish sometimes, ThousandSon. (and for that "put up with you" crack): Fuck You! (that, of course said in my best Sheri Moon Zombie "Devil's Rejects" "Fuck You" voice). That happens to be Bob "Cummings" Zombie's main squeeze right now. And no, Bvamp. I don't think she's related to Frank Zappa in any way (like anything that fine could have squirted out of Mr. Zappa ). I think you have her mistaken with Moon Unit Zappa. Or is that Dweezil Zappa I'm thinking of now? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
