Anything Jezebel Posts to Jezebel is Propaganda

No, that is not what the open carry law does. Open carry allows you to carry weapons in public without necessarily being cause for arrest. It DOES NOT mean the weapon has to be perceived as a non-threat. Police are not obligated to treat the weapon as non-threatening due to open carry.

This is crazy. Good job cops. Fuck this writer who is shiite.

Oh wow, fantastic. You wouldn’t be saying that if your spouse or other loved one was an officer.

So this is what goes on at Jezebel...

No it doesn’t because it’s a really fucking stupid comment that only white-guilt libtards like you would think is meaningful. Brandishing is illegal and doesn’t equal open carry and even if it did the dumbass dead scumbag was still too young to open carry.

See?

Stop the bullshit.

bb guns can certainly kill people

Can legally walk around isn’t the same as “police have to assume the gun is full of fairy dust.” There is no legal responsibility by police to treat you differently because of open carry than non-open carry.

“ Possessing the gun in and of itself does not justify the shooting.”

This was a BB gun, not a toy. BB guns are not toys.

Kid was a robbery suspect

And that means what exactly? A. He was 13 and thus not legally allowed to carry a gun. B. He pulled it on the fucking cops. But please act like your comment is some kind of smug, know it all retort to reality and facts.

Why is blurring the face of a child such a big deal. The look on the child’s face is what makes it so powerful.

Which matters how? Pointing a gun at an officer is still grounds for that officer to use self-defense. There are lots of videos on this on Youtube: Open Carry doesn’t grant any special legal protections at all to the person with the gun, just that they can’t be arrested for just having the gun. IF they pull it out or…

Two irresponsible addicts passed out on heroin with a child under their supervision and the kid’s face isn’t blurred. I think the point was missed.

I feel upset and frankly triggered by this. Please put a warning on it first next time. If you want I can send you a list of all the things I dont like so you can be in compliance. Thanks.

Are you fucking serious here Jezebel?

You could have just saved everybody some time and posted that last paragraph as the whole story, as your opinion is what this whole article is really about.
