Being sat on by a guy who has to go 400lbs+ and another guy about 250lbs IS assault. If a pro BO protester was speaking on the ever present bull horn there would have been no problem.

I posted comments on a young woman's page about this guy being a crackpot carrying a gun and had her, a few friends and her ignorant older brother come unglued on me. The young woman informed me she could have taken the guy on if he'd pulled the gun...I guess she was going to do her yoga moves and catch the bullet in her teeth. The older brother refused to believe he had a gun although I gave him the ADN link talking about it, he said there was no need to read another person's take on the matter because he already had the right information. He couldn't see a gun is where he based his facts. Oh, boy!<br />The friends, well they proved to me it doesn't take a brain to breath. <br />Truly amazing!<br /><br />MBGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2083200247132907218.post-81129968805122180912010-08-28T14:22:51.054-08:002010-08-28T14:22:51.054-08:00Thanks, Brian.

None were armed with anything I could see, not even a flashlight and they were able to subdue this armed man without escalating it more than necessary. Being detained, is not assault. If you aren't smart enough to recognize that you may be in a situation which could lead to your detainment - then you deserve a little public display to prove that it ain't always about you.<br /><br />It took me a day or two to actually watch the whole video after someone mentioned a loaded firearm. <br /><br />They seemed to detain him and secure the weapon quietly and discreetly. My guess is the Alaska State Trooper who intervened in a mob situation recognized that. <br /><br />Those people, inciting that incident -- and more particularly, stepping in and getting physically involved are the know-nothing creeps who act more like anarchists than patriots.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
