Man with umbrella triggers city wide idiocy

[Quantum Windbag]

It was for the children, or something equally asinine.

A typical Tuesday morning for 42-year-old Michael Di Marzo quickly became a citywide multi-jurisdictional manhunt for him and what witnesses thought was a assault rifle in his hand
Three schools were locked down and delayed as police scoured the area by ground and air, looking for a man described by a teenage tipster as wearing black clothes and a ski mask.
It wasn’t realized until hours later what was believed to be something along the lines of an AR-15 or AK-47 was more of a AU-15: a 15-inch compact “assault umbrella.”

Man carrying umbrella, not rifle, was on his usual route - South Sound - The Olympian - Olympia, Washington news, weather and sports

That's fucking dumb.

When compact umbrellas are outlawed, only outlaws can sing 'dancing in the rain'.

Liberal gun grabbing paranoia!!!

This doesn't have anything to do with liberals or gun laws; it has to do with people being freaked out by all the mass shootings in the US over the past decade and more. He was reported by a teenager. Teenager -- high school -- mass shootings -- get it? People are living in fear. This kind of reaction, especially in schools, is perfectly reasonable.

No it's not.

Compact umbrellas are he size of pistols.

This is exactly what happens when emotions take precedence over rational thinking.

 

[Katzndogz]

The predictable result of media induced mass hysteria. The same kind of hysteria that led a school to suspend a child because of a nibbled on pop tart.

Communist control of Public Education is reaping it's rewards. It won't be long now.

Just as bad as when a "Light Brite" toy shut down Boston for a day.

Yeah... It's happened twice before.

 

[Katzndogz]

The media HAS to manufacture mass hysteria because the government needs mass hysteria to take guns away from law abiding people.

It is never reasonable to over react, that is why it is called over reacting.

Lest we forget. And what's behind the shootings that are behind the fear? Gun culture.

I keep expecting to get accosted and questioned for carrying this case in public:

Thanks a lot, gun culture.​

Your agenda is showing again.

Gun enthusiasts have no problem with you carrying around a gun, why would you think they would accost you over a baby guitar? The people who are afraid of guns are the ones that might shoot you for playing it.
