re: #161 GeneJockey

We are to a great extent waving hands here, in the absence of knowing what the law states. I am not aware of anything in the law that ALLOWS any citizen to point a loaded (check the profile pics) at LEOs in performance of their duties. Come to that, I’m not aware that the law allows you to point a weapon at ANYONE from such a position of concealment.

Seriously, you see your neighbor sticking a rifle barrel out his window at people on the street, do you really think the law allows it right up till he pulls the trigger?

I don’t think I’m arguing that the law allows it?

I’m just pointing out, like kirkspencer, that those pictures themselves are probably not sufficient evidence in the court of law by themselves to convict, particularly in an environment with a half-way competent defense attorney and/or jurors who feel sympathetic to the defendant.

Think about the tweets you read.

Consider that those people, just like you and I, with all our critical thinking, are also considered for serving on a jury.
