If Hillary supports her, you’re supposed to support her. Nothing that doesn’t rave about how wonderful Hillary is or her people are will be tolerated here.

He fit the description from the victim and he and another one of his friends ran. He was in possession of a gun and attempted to pull said gun on the cops when they had him in the alley way. It’s not like the police said “hey look a black kid. Let’s chase him and shoot him”

This isn’t a toy gun. BB guns do serious damage, and should by no means be treated as a toy; they are a .177 cal firearm.

An open carry state doesn’t give anyone special rights to brandish a weapon. In fact, in handgun safety class they specifically stress to you that choosing to carry a weapon gives you more of a responsibility, not less. There are very specific rules on how to interact with law enforcement when you have a weapon for…

that is the problem. Leftists are so quick to condemn the police without evidence, but want to wait on evidence before giving the cop the benefit of the doubt...

BB guns are not toys. Also, open carry has nothing to do with this case.

Dear Annoying Jezebel readers,

When they’re engaged in adult behavior, like brandishing weapons at night. It isn’t as simple as an age, but a 13 year old should know a lot more than a 5 year old.

bb guns can certainly kill people

A crime happens, the cops show up and approach a group of suspects/witnesses nearby who take off running, cop chases them into an alley where one of them pulls out what looks exactly like a very lethal handgun.

If they were actually robbing people at gunpoint, well they wanted people to mistake it for a real gun, and well, that is what happens to people that rob other people at gunpoint, even if they are 13.

Yes, actually we are. One does not become an adult through magic on your 18th birthday.

Just to clarify - BB guns are not “toy” guns. They are generally considered to be “non-lethal” but there are cases of people getting hurt pretty badly with them. And they can generally kill small animals. They are not a joke or a toy. A person under 18 should have no means of getting one. Where I grew up, BB guns were…

It was night, the kid was out at 13 with a realistic looking firearm, dangerous if not fatal weapon. Running from a crime scene and the cops.

A 13 year old is supposed to be smarter the a 5 year old.

Or, y’know, don’t rob people and run from the cops and then try to pull a gun with laser fucking sights on them. But yeah, trigger happy cops are th problem.

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

Like we don’t need tons of guns anyway, but why the hell are they making BB guns that look like real guns in the first place?

Seems legit. Though it is very unfortunate. Do not carry BB guns around, people. They are dangerous and useless.
