Heavily Armed SWAT Team Swarms Cal State… Because of an Umbrella

    These days you never know what could be used as a deadly weapon of mass destruction requiring a militarized SWAT response.

    In San Marcos, California, where students and staff members are always looking out for potential domestic terrorists, a call to 9-1-1 prompted a full university lock-down and brought elite members of the police department out in force.

    The incident began when someone called police to report a gunman on campus carrying an assault rifle.

    It turns out, it was only an umbrella. Late Wednesday, 10News spoke with Bill Craig, who has been a staff member at the university for 17 years. He was walking with his umbrella on campus that morning because of the rain.

    Little did he know that by the time he got back to his office, his umbrella would have been mistaken for a rifle and lead to a campus-wide lockdown. Craig was held at gunpoint by sheriff’s deputies during the lockdown.

    “I guess you always think that when someone’s pointing a gun at you, you’re really going to freak out but I think I was just more focused on doing exactly what the officer said,” he told 10News.

    Craig was the person – reported as being suspicious – they had been looking for. The person was described as a white male, wearing a black shirt and jeans and walking across campus carrying a rifle.

    He says he knew it was him the second the alert went out.

    “I was certain,” said Craig. “It could have certainly been someone else. I mean, I’m not the only tall, bald guy here, but it fit me to a tee.”

    You never know what could pass as an assault rifle given the hyper-sensitivity surrounding the ownership and possession of firearms.

    Earlier this a month a man was shot and killed by police at a Walmart in Beavercreek, Ohio after a sharp-eyed shopper called in to report he was carrying around a loaded assault rifle. It turned out to be a BB gun that 22-year old John Crawford had picked up in the sporting goods section of the store.

    In another BB gun incident in Houston, a Department of Homeland Security professional mistook an Airsoft rifle for an AR-15, prompting a fully mobilized deployment of the local SWAT team.

    But to police, water pistols may be even more dangerous than BB guns or umbrellas. New York resident John Mayer was raided by police after his young son threatened to use a water gun and other children’s armaments against bullies who were terrorizing his friends. Police quickly responded by not only revoking Mayer’s pistol license, but confiscating his firearms, even though the guns were locked and totally inaccessible to his child.

    This is only the beginning. As police departments around the country continue to acquire military grade equipment like mine-resistant vehicles, long rifles, night vision, and scores of other supplies, we can expect a further militarization of all federal, state and local employees.

    (See what you’re local police department has been stockpiling)

    Soon, they might even start arming IRS agents or Post Office employees.

    Oh, wait. Too late… They’re already doing that.

    But, God forbid an American citizen tries to purchase some body armor for protection. Soon, that will be a crime as well, and perhaps the next SWAT raid will occur as a result of someone wearing a bulky jacket or vest that resembles body armor.

    This is America, 2014.

      1. This is just crazy. I mean, I know they are extra sensitive in California, but it’s happening all over the country.

        What’s next!!!!!?!?!?!!?

        • They know how ridiculous they are. They’re just doing this to desensitize us to a nazi/SS/gulag type of police state. It will only work to a certain degree. We patriots are the X factor in that equation.

          • The Penguin in Batman use to carry a machine gun umbrella. Guess the swat guys have been watching or reading too many comics. 😉

            • @BI,

              But I still freak out just the umbrella thing. I never experience when someone point a gun at me.

              • Never seen these pig scum fucks in shorts before?

                • HERE’S SOME REAL NEWS:

                  Chicago crime rate declines as CCW applications rise, says report – Seattle gun rights

                  ht tp://www.examiner.com/article/chicago-crime-rate-declines-as-ccw-applications-rise-says-report

                  • First – The police were responding to a report of someone with an “assault rifle”. They weren’t just out brandishing their weapons for no reason.

                    Second – What did you expect them to bring to such a scene – harsh language?

                    Third – All I see in the picture are light arms – no “heavily armed” SWAT Team, as the sensationalistic headline screams.

                    Fourth – Citizens of the US can buy and possess amazingly large armaments themselves. The police NEED to be able to outgun the perps.

                    Fifth – If you were an LEO, wouldn’t you respond with overwhelming force? Or would you depend on “talking” the bad guy down?

                    Sixth – Every one of you would run to the phone to dial 911 if you or yours was in danger.

                  • Seventh – No one was killed and no shots were fired. It was a good, normal job done by the police.

                    Eighth – LEOs are the Good Guys. They’re literally my family, neighbors and friends. I know them and they’re utterly dependable and trustworthy.

                  • Ninth – If there had been a “crazy” walking around with an “assault rifle”, the police would have been there to do something about it.

                    Tenth – All you supposed “forward-thinking” preppers adamantly defend your gun ownership/carry rights. Well, no private armed citizen stepped forward in this instance to save the day. The police did.

                    A good job by the Good Guys.

                  • Special delivery for the fan boy of the Zionist police state,

                    The Israelites, specifically the House of David, were chosen (past tense) for the birth of their Messiah. The good Israelites accepted their Messiah and the New Covenant that was promised in Jeremias 31:31-32, a new covenant because the Israelites as a nation had “VOIDED” the Mosaic Covenant (see also Mark 7:8-9). The Mosaic Covenant was fulfilled and REPLACED by the New Covenant (Hebrews 7:18, Hebrews 8:1-13 quoting Jeremias 31:31-32, Hebrews 10:9, Colossians 2:14-15, 2 Corinthians 3:6-15). Those who chose their Messiah were the true New Israel, the true Jews in the lineage of Abraham and Moses (1 Peter 2:9-10).

                    What part of VOIDED and REPLACED don’t you understand?

                  • Wicked spirit of Haman, I understand that the Old Covenant, under which all men must come to God by the Law, was replaced by the New Covenant, under which “whosoever will may come” by the Blood of Christ.

                    Which part of these verses do you not understand, wicked spirit of Haman?

                    Rom 11:1-2
                    I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
                    2 God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew.

                    Rom 11:26-27
                    And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
                    27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.

                    Jer 32:40-41
                    And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; but I will put my fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from me.
                    41 Yea, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land assuredly with my whole heart and with my whole soul.

                    Jer 33:14
                    Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will perform that good thing which I have promised unto the house of Israel and to the house of Judah.

                  • Notice especially in Romans 11:2 where it says –

                    “God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew.”

                    This is NEW TESTAMENT, wicked spirit of Haman.

                    You are fighting against the New Covenant Word and the Promises of God.
                    You’re destined for failure in this.

                    Repent, JQP, and cast off the wicked spirit of Haman which is oppressing you and the Chosen of God through you.

                  • Even though I have repeatedly provided you the proof verses, you still do NOT properly identify who God’s people are TODAY.

                    It is true Christians who are today’s true Jews, the true New Israel, the true lineage of Abraham and Moses, the ones who are truly “blessed” in Abraham’s lineage IN the Faith, the people of the New Covenant promised in Jeremias 31:31-32., God’s people TODAY (see also: 1 Peter 2 2:9-10; Galatians 3:6-8, and Romans chapter 4).

                    As St. Paul so clearly explains, the Abrahamic and Mosaic Covenants are fulfilled in those IN the Faith, NOT by those who reject the Faith, who connived the judicial murder of their Redeemer, who called His Blood down on themselves and their generations, who blaspheme Him today (Galatians 3:6-8 and Romans Chapter 4, Matthew 27:25).

                    DNA—whether real or phony—has NOTHING to do with God’s blessings TODAY. See Apocalypse 2:9 and 3:9 to understand who makes false claims to be God’s People.

                  • Also, God did NOT “cast away His people.”

                    His former people VOIDED the Mosaic Covenant on their own. (Jeremias 31:31-32 and Mark 7:8-9).

                    They made their own free will choice. They did it on their own. God did NOT do it to them.

                    Instead, God was crystal clear about the terms of the Mosaic Covenant and the punishments for disobedience. (Deuteronomy 28, Leviticus 26, Leviticus 18:28; Numbers 14:23; Deuteronomy 4:26-27; 6:18; 7:12; Deuteronomy 30; Ezekiel 13:9; Jeremias 7:15; 29:13-14)

                    God did not VOID the Mosaic Covenant. It was the wicked and faithless Israelites who, as a nation, VOIDED the Mosaic Covenant. They abandoned God, not vice versa. He still welcomes them, but they are stiff-necked in their rejection of Him. These days only a few return. Some more will return in the End.

                    Think clearly for a moment. If the Mosaic Covenant was still valid, a path to salvation, there would have been absolutely no reason whatsoever for the Incarnation, Passion, and Crucifixion of Jesus Christ. As you would expect, the Dual Covenant heresy is illogical, a self-contradiction, a complete falsehood.

                  • Mr. Smith (Formerly Grafique) says:

                    “Tenth – All you supposed “forward-thinking” preppers adamantly defend your gun ownership/carry rights. Well, no private armed citizen stepped forward in this instance to save the day. The police did.”

                    Uh… are you saying that no private armed citizen stepped forward to end the threat perceived to be posed by a man carrying an umbrella?

                    Well… no shit.

                    You really scored big with that intellectual marvel, Einstein.

                    Note to self: next time you see someone carrying an umbrella… intercept. Step forward and save the day.

                    Good grief.

                  • BF –
                    Is that all you’ve got? You should be embarrassed.

                  • @ “formerly known as Grafique”

                    “Embarrassed,” you say? What hypocrisy! Just as you hypocritically name-call others as “fools,” “Haman,” and “Sanballat,” while you complain about name-calling. You bring to mind the Polish aphorism: “The Jew cries out in pain as he strikes you.”

                    You claim to be Christian, but let’s connect the dots:

                    (1) your hypocrisy and gall, chutzpah;
                    (2) your use of the “Haman” and “Sanballat” epithets, orthodox curses known to VERY few goyim;
                    (3) your inversions of Scripture and contrivances using pilpul;
                    (4) your submissive and worshipful defense of those who reject and revile Jesus Christ over the teachings of Jesus Christ Himself;
                    (5) your inability to address the plain language verses against your “other Gospel”;
                    (6) your unsupportable Dual Covenant dispensation;
                    (7) your parroting of rabbinical and Zionist talking points;
                    AND
                    (8) the Zionist government’s well-documented hiring of thousands of Judaic bloggers to pose as non-Jews while advancing Zionist talking points.

                    Connect the dots. We know you by your fruits.

                  • Wicked spirit of Haman, your opinion of God’s ability to fulfill his Word is so low as to be nonexistent. Read again the verses I posted from Jeremiah. There are dozens of others in the Bible.

                    When the Jewish Yeshua returns, where do you think he will go first? New York? Paris? London? No, he will set foot on the Mount of Olives, walk through Jerusalem’s Eastern Gate and into the rebuilt Temple, where he will reign as King.

                    The Bible forbids Israel to have a King who is not Jewish.

                  • Zechariah 12:10 –

                    And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced…

                    This doesn’t sound like some “voided” covenant to me.

                  • Funny thing about that “voided” covenant you mention, wicked spirit of Haman –

                    It’s nowhere in the Bible. It exists only in the minds of Haman and Sanballat!

                  • “Nowhere in the Bible,” you say. What lying gall!

                    Both the Old and New Testaments state that they VOIDED the Covenant and God’s commandments with their own made-up traditions of the rabbis.

                    “Behold the days shall come, saith the Lord, and I will make a NEW covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Juda: Not according to the covenant which I made with their fathers, in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt: the covenant which they made VOID,” and I had dominion over them, saith the Lord.”
                    Jeremias 31:31-32

                    “And He said to them: Well do you make VOID the commandment of God, that you may keep your own tradition… Making VOID the word of God by your own tradition, which you have given forth. And many other such like things you do.”
                    Mark 7:9-13

                  • Wicked spirit of Haman, I rebuke your hatred of God’s Chosen. Your blindness toward the plain Word of God demonstrates how deceived you are.

                    Revelation 3:9 talks about “the synagogue of Satan” and “those who say they are Jews, and are not”.
                    This verse is talking about you and the other deceived who claim to have replaced Israel. You claim to be today’s Jews, but you are not.

                    Ezekiel 37:21-28
                    21 And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land:
                    22 And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all:
                    23 Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all their dwellingplaces, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God.
                    24 And David my servant [shall be] king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them.
                    25 And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, [even] they, and their children, and their children’s children for ever: and my servant David [shall be] their prince for ever.
                    26 Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore.
                    27 My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
                    28 And the heathen shall know that I the LORD do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.

                    The difference between you and me is that I believe that God is able to keep the promises he spoke in this passage –
                    1- That he would restore ISRAEL to the land of JACOB (a reference to Jews) FULFILLED
                    2- That he would make of them one nation, not two FULFILLED
                    3- That he would destroy their propensity for idol worship FULFILLED
                    4- David will be king over them NOT FULFILLED UNTIL THE JEWISH YESHUAH’S RETURN
                    5- Israel will dwell in their land forever FULFILLED
                    6- God will make a Covenant of peace with them FULFILLED, ALTHOUGH THE JEWS HAVEN’T ACCEPTED IT YET – BUT ALL ISRAEL SHALL BE SAVED (ROMANS 11)
                    7- God will set his sanctuary in the midst of them NOT FULFILLED, ALTHOUGH IT IS ABOUT TO BE FULFILLED
                    8- The heathen shall know that YHWH sanctifies Israel NOT FULFILLED, BUT WILL BE FULFILLED AT THE BATTLE OF GOG/MAGOG (EZEKIEL 39:7)

                    Why do you refuse to believe that God will keep his promises? Is it so difficult? Look at all the promises he has already fulfilled. Is he unable to keep the rest? Your problem is a lack of faith.

                    Romans 3:1, 2
                    1 What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit [is there] of circumcision?
                    2 Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God.

                    It’s obvious from this NEW COVENANT passage that God is not done with the Jews.

                    Zechariah 14:16, 17
                    16 And it shall come to pass, [that] every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.
                    17 And it shall be, [that] whoso will not come up of [all] the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain.

                    In this End-Times prophecy, the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles is still being kept. Why would God want this Jewish feast to be kept if Jewish Israel was no longer a valid nation?

                    I reject your accusations, although it is true that I do align myself with the Jewish State of Israel – although it is me giving money for their advancement, not the reverse.

                    The overwhelming proof of your error is your hate for Jewish Israel. God is love. If a spirit is leading you to hate anyone, it’s not the Spirit of God.

                  • Grafique says the Mosaic Covenant/law has not been replaced.

                    The Bible says the Mosaic Covenant/Law has been replaced, “MADE VOID,” “BLOTTED OUT,” “SET ASIDE,” “TAKEN AWAY,” “ANNULLED/CANCELED.”

                    Hebrews 7:18
                    Hebrews 10:9
                    Colossians 2:14

            • mr smith the reason “no forward thinking”person came forward to disarm the situation is they have the f****ing sense to know an umbrella from an “assault” weapon

              • Me smith, shut the hell up. I have family members that are cops and an ex husband too. Decent guys. A friend was killed in the line of duty by a punk ass banger. These swat teams are not the same. Additionally, all the moronic people freaking out over guns and calling 911 a recreating hell for innocent citizens. What a bunch of sheeple.

                It’s the constant swat team responses that is evidence of our military state. Why can’t a few patrols show up and check it out?

                Pull your head out.

              • Not to mention it’s California and a college campus. Responsibly armed Americans are not allowed on college campuses and California does all it can to criminalize the act of being a responsibly armed American.

            • Dear lord – water pistol fights with my frenemies constitute some of the best memories from my childhood!

              My lad is the same on a sunny Sunday afternoon – running round with the neighbourhood teens to toddlers whooping and yelling and squealing for hours. They learn team work, tactics, get a cardio workout while us Mums sit and natter in the back garden enjoying a respite from our chores.

              My heart goes out to John Mayer’s family as I find what happened there with the violation of his family home and confiscation of his legal weapons as a result of a kiddy water fight chilling and sinister in the extreme tbh. What one earth happens if the kids are heard sharing out a bag of jelly babies (sweets) for consumption?

              As for the guy in Cali – sounds like a tin foil hat might be safer protection from the forces of nature than an umbrella.

              Tell me again why science felt it necessary to conduct a funded study on whether IQ levels are dropping? The family dog could confirm that humans are getting stupider by the day.

            Burger King is in talks to buy Canadian coffee-and-doughnut chain Tim Horton’s Inc., a merger that would be structured as a “tax inversion” which would effectively move Burger King’s headquarters to Canada (more specifically, my hometown of Oakville, Ontario).

And do this in part of the threat from this Military hardware from LEO’s and the fear of Martial Law?

              No doubt, I have, and for good reason. Eye for an Eye.

          • Hey Braveheart,

            Remember what I told you guys a couple of years ago about here in California we would go through the socialization process first and get back to our senses while the rest of the states figured it out?

            Good news today for us in California. We had a 10 day waiting period when buying guns. You bought it and then had to wait 10 days to pick it up. Well todat a judge said that this was bullshit and that if you already had a background check when purchasing a gun the there is no waiting period.

            I don’t know if that means we don;t have to pay the 125.00 for a background check every time anymore. Plus the judge also put a hold on the implemtation of this for 90 days to let the state file an appeal. And that probaly means the 9th circut (sp?) court will probaly overturn the ruling but it is a start.

Sorry Brother, they’re just jackin’ with you…I’ll put up a Grant on it, hell, I’ll put up a Benjamin on that one. If I HAVE to pay out just get a PO Bx somewere and post it through here, I don’t welsh on a bet…ever. I DO wish it were otherwise..but it’s Kali ya know? It’ll go the other way fur sure.

              • You are probaly right and I wont take that bet. But. a guy has in Cal has to have some hopey changey thing in his life.

                BigB

            • BigB, I think it’s a safe bet that the 9th Circuit will overturn it. After all, it’s still commiefornia.

            • I will be hoping it holds.

        • Every cop involved in pointing guns at the man for carrying an umbrella should be put in prison. We need to take control of our police departments. Cops today are cowards, their lives mean no more than any one else. Throw the bad ones which is at least 50% into prison for life.

          • Well you can’t really blame the airheads in California, after all, an umbrella, like the rain, was rare and exotic sight in that state. Sarcasm off. Just a bunch of liberal pussies (sheeple) who’ve been led to believe that only the police and military can protect them.

          • Look at those Rambo-wanna-be dorks in the background. They’ve already got the umbrella, and they are actually in firing stance with no discernible target in a civilian setting. Unbelievable.

          • The thing is that we are seeing over and over a mere accusation of having a weapon is enough to get you killed. These cops aren’t even laying eyes on a weapon before they pull the trigger and kill an innocent person.

            WTF?!?

        • This is an old story. The really disgusting part is even though they knew it was an umbrella and he worked there the retard cops were still pointing weapons at him and at other people. Most cops today are punks. Did not used to be that way.

          • Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind.

            And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader and gladly so.

          That is the scariest part, he was OK with their response.

THIS is about a STUDENT who hates the “staff member” with a FRIKKING PASSION and desires retribution for something Bill Craig apparently did to said student.

        • Perhaps someone can tell me who the three guys on the right side of the picture are pointing their rifles at???
          One comment was that the cops were not heavely armed…are you blind or just stupid.
          As a retired policeman, with 30 years service, I can tell you that many of these guys can’t wait to try out all the “tactiCOOL’ s++t that the FEDS give them for FREE.

      2. Make the children fear anything even close to a gun, and when they are grown they will gladly do away with the 2nd amendment and turn in all their weapons. They don’t have to defeat “us” if they can just get our kids to hand over their rights in the name of the greater good.

        • EXACTLY. All these people here with their bluster about “fighting them off ” haven’t yet realized they were outplayed and this is a multigenerational strategy.

        • Southpaw, That is the reason we should take a child out and let them handle and shoot a Firearm every chance we get. Also that is one of the great things about Open-Carry, I have had more than one opportunity to explain to a youngster about the 2nd Amendment and why I carry a gun. Children see you with a sidearm in public and then tell their parents, and very often a parent will let their child ask you about it. Educate when you can, Our greatest mistake is to think that every one who doesn’t own a gun is Anti 2nd Amendment. Taint Necessarily So! Trekker Out.

          • Roger that, MT. My 3 little ones will know how to safely employ a firearm and why we will never give them up.

      4. This kind of thing would be easier for the public to tolerate if the police were more trustworthy…as things are now however…..

        • This kind of thing would be easier for the public to tolerate if there were open carry everywhere. The anti-gun crowd and police chiefs across the country have done a good job in convincing the public that the sight of of any openly displayed firearm means that mass murder is about to take place.

          If every defensive firearm use was given the same news coverage that every illegal firearm use gets, defensive firearm use stories would outmatch illegal firearm use stories by estimates of at least five to one. Defensive firearm use is not even a category in conjunction with crime reporting in any jurisdiction is the USA. It is estimated that as much as 90% of defensive firearm use is not even reported by the defender.

          Defensive firearm use doesn’t get news traction because it doesn’t fit the disarmament agenda.

        • NetRanger, good to hear from you again. How’ve you been? I totally agree. There is no such thing as common sense even in law enforcement anymore thanks to all of the federal brainwashing and DHS grants for military weapons, gear, vehicles, etc. No question we face a law enforcement establishment with some of the worst intentions imaginable toward the people. It won’t work for them. They don’t have the numbers, despite all of their toys. When TSHTF, they’ll be overwhelmed before they know it. Take care.

        • ^”Planet Stupid” NR, I’m ROTFLMAO. Got tears in my eyes.

        • NetRanger,

          Did the police say what caliber the umbrella was? Must be one of those dangerous concealed class 3 short barreled umbrellas I keep hearing about lately 🙂 Can’t have those in the wrong hands!

      22. “You’re either SWAT or you’re not” this would be so laughable if it weren’t so sadly unprofessional and incompetent.

        These idiots are professionally lazy POS, yes we can expect this from canary in a coal minefornia, a state that so lacks the spirit of liberty it should be a prison for every last Godless soul that lives there.

Maybe it could serve double-duty as a Quad-Max Penitenary…the whole state I mean. Think about it…in short order the water will be GONE (it’s all but gone now) making it very HARD for anyone dropped into say LA to make it past desert, guards at the border, etc. I LIKE the idea immensley!

            Sad fact, I was born and raised in the SF Bay area and although my father & mother had me late in life I grew up with much older siblings who exposed me to the 60’s hippie culture which even at a young age I found interestingly fun, illogical and stupid.

            Luckily my WWII depression era father balanced that (at least with me) with pride in country and sacrifice.

            Caneryfornia is a beautiful state, but I’ve accepted it’s gone in the sense that liberty no longer exists in a place that was once very important militarily. For many men SF was the last American city they saw, and the first if they survived upon arrival home.

            Sadly it’s not the state it was, and I lack the currant ability of empathy in its regard. So yes lets start a petition and make it officially what it already is…a prison.

Like I said…mere mortals – even me – sometime get exposed to levels of STOOPID (think 9000 RAD levels) that are – frankly – overwhelming; having a BOOST to the antibodies of THAT SORT might just be the ‘tipping point’ in the battle….MAYBE a universal ‘vaccine’ could be developed from your blood against ‘STOOPID’ dunno…it could happen! Yeahm, I know that it would be tough, WAY tougher than any simple vaccination …like for ol Ebola, but possible maybe…MayBeSo.

              Note: “So yes lets start a petition and make it officially what it already is…a prison.” Yep, STUPID is self-extinguihing as a evolutionary precept, so that is as good a use as any for soon-to-be ‘wasteland real estate’, Aye? (lil grin…)

              • Comically well replied, I survived because I sought truth as much as I could, and I followed they path of a moral MAN placed in an immoral situation, so I spent a life time in the US Army Rangers and other SOF assignments.

                  Truly ‘alone’ is not good, is not His intent. Though the World oft seems to be hell-bent on segregating us, Man from Woman, Race from Race, People from People wherever one goes,
                  is it not so? More’s the pity. Still, there will be a Light to come – qite soon – that will dazzle all who yet live to see it… I await the day hope-ful and faith-ful.

                  Ahh, tis late…A Good Evening then Brother and Good Night

                  • It i late indeed!…typing my own HANDLE WRONG 🙁

                    Apologies….

      23. Check out— You tube Game X Change suspicious towel. It was raining one morning and the customer was waiting for the store to open.

      24. I can recall when the EMS, police and Fire dept was called to my place of employment after an unknown white powder was discovered in a break room. Got to bring in all those professionals to contain a potentially dangerous sitution. I counted at least 6 vehicles there that morning. At first I thought it was some sort of training exercise. There was an offical Email informing us of how the matter was being handled to keep us all safe.

        The powder in question turned out to be….instant coffee creamer. True Story

        • You didn’t comply with the waiting period on “assault coffee mate”. You’re as dangerous as the now-dreaded supermen of ISIS. USA will go to war in Syria, come hell or highwater.

          The person who called 911 knew exactly what they were doing and that there was no downside for them.

          USA will end up divided along ethnic lines. Jamal and Jose want whitey to pay for their freebies, and will demand higher taxation (of whitey) to finance it. Do these white sheeple really think Jose is content for his son to be whitey’s son’s landscaper?

          I’m tired of hearing about Jose “living in the shadows” or a “path to citizenship”. Jose has ZERO interest in a path to citizenship.

          • @Myc hunt, While agreeing with you on the whole, there is a minor but critical point that ought to be clarified; Jose is very interested in citizenship, his own. He wants to have it both ways, He still wants to be a Mexican, but at the same time all the benefits of being an America (to be paid for by some one else), without the obligations and duties of being an American citizen. He wants to pick and choose when the rules and the law apply to him, and to what degree.

      25. Well, there goes my plans to bring my gun with me to college so I can go to the range after class. (I wouldn’t take it out of the car.)

      26. @NewVegasBadger

        That’s a good one..

      27. Looks like they are just itching to kill someone.
        I sure would like to see there game faces when it was just a umbrella.

        I can not wait to see them with urban camo. or one of thous skull masks on there faces.

        Oh wait it could have been one of those 007 or avenger umbrellas that carry a .22cal round or a sword.

      28. Umbrella? Good Lord! These Nazis will do anything to get overtime & danger pay.

        • OR
          You don’t know what you are talking about. The last thing they want to do is get called out to where some stupid S.O.B. can’t tell a gun from an umbrella. Talk about Brown Shirts call in and telling on your neighbors. This was the dumb turd that started the damn thing not the cops.
          Sgt.

          • Sgt. Dale, thanks for all your responses. All we need now is laws like the Nazis passed outlawing tables with square corners. I think we might be pretty close when you consider the padded playgrounds with no merry-go-rounds or seesaws any more.
            I think buried in here are two more facts to consider.
            #1. Enormous and blatant government waste. How do the governments have small armies sitting around waiting for false reports to swarm upon? Many Americans can’t buy decent food or healthcare but government waste is astronomical.
            #2. If SHTF today, I think these small armies align with their communities. TPTB made a severe tactical mistake in arming the local governments. Those will not align with the elites. So, that GREAT for Americans.

          • Yeah Sgt Dale would rather sit on his fat doughnut ass drinking coffee in his squad car. Why lift a finger to investigate a possible active shooter threat on campus. Then when he does finally get there, he beats up the caller out of his own frustration.

            • The day I start seeing COPS Pull Corrupt Politicians out of their cars and beat the crap out of them for good reason, that will be the day I have renewed faith in COPS again. Not until.

      29. It’s the cover your ass at all cost mentality. Can’t go wrong calling out the world for harmless items. Sure a few laugh but your ass is covered. Leadership is a begone idea. Politicians, yes almost all including libs and cons only care about themselves and won’t make difficult decisions that may cost votes and ultimate unemployment.
        Business is slightly better because they have to produce. That said, taking chances and pissing people off is not rewarded.
        If you see a person taking a chance or applying common sense, support them. Even if you don’t totally agree with them..support them. At least they are trying to solve an issue or build a future.

      30. Well I guess the man could have been a double naught spy. With his advanced spy training he could have opened up the umbrella , blocked out all sunlight and plunged all of us into the ice age.

      31. It happened in a city near where I live. About two years ago, a person was seen near The East Carolina Campus allegedly carrying a gun. It was a person walking down the street with an umbrella that was protruding out from his backpack. They locked down the school and they saw him on camera?

        Looking at the photo , you would think it was a picture from Iraq or from The Ukraine. Just terrible……..

      32. What, exactly, are those other shit-heads in the back pointing their weapons at.

        What a damn clown-show this country has become.

        Incompetence everywhere.
        Cowardice everywhere.

        • Good Post KY Mom. Due to the CA Drought, Watch food prices continue to sky rocket. Get a year supply stored now at today’s prices.

      33. A nation of delusional scared paranoid cowards. See something say something!!!

        • Public school here trained the kindergartners to “say something” if any other kindergartner was noticed talking at lunch. Two or more things wrong with that! We pulled our kid out. Terrible people.

          • Watch, these schools teach your kids to call the Cops if they see you Smoking Pot. Or that Vast Gun collection Dad brags about.. You better have a long talk with your kids. What happens at home stays at home. Teach your Kids what OPSEC means.

      34. When law enforcement is so ridiculously hyper sensitive to perceived or imagined threats, people get dead, over stupid shit!! These are the actions that will precipitate an insurrection against an incredibly aggressive police state!

      35. You talk about STUPID! (From past article.)
        Who was the FRIGGING moron that called this in. This stupid SOB should be arrest for being STUPID in public. Man I wish that there was such a law.
        If commifornia would let you protect yourself they would have to call in a swat team for an Assault Umbrella. What a waist of time and man power.

        A.S.M.S.
        Sgt.

        • I agree without reservation. The person filing the false report should be at least fined and possibly imprisoned. He/she caused Terror.

        • “Sgt” Scholtz would rather sit on his lazy donut ass saying, “I see Nothing!!!”

          Look you do your COP JOB no matter how ridiculous it may be. You have a bad attitude Sgt. Maybe you need to be transferred down to the Ghetto walking the flatfoot beat for a while till your attitude improves.

          When I was on the Fire Dept, and got bogus calls we too went, acted professional and helped as best we can. When your attitude turns shithead arrogance or like you don’t need to feel bothered by doing your COP JOB, then maybe its time to hang up your spurs cowboy and go find a lazy night watchman job. Maybe Duncan Donuts is hiring. Sounds perfect for you.

      36. Im guessing all the anti cop sentiment and the facts to back up the manifold reasons why many don’t like cops or approve of their parasite existence is having some results. Sgt Dale hasn’t weighed in on this subject. The powers that be have no power without their enforcement lackeys. When you make unenforceable rules and the threats made by law enforcement no longer have any weight. That’s when you have reached the tipping point. the fact is you can only police & tax the citizens to the point that they will allow you to do so. We are being forced into becoming scofflaws & outlaws. non compliance is the best course to follow for the moment. anything you can do to avoid paying any tax will curtail the parasites funding. Home grown food has no tax. generating you own power is tax free. Riding a bicycle -walking- riding a horse is tax free. Buying & selling used items for cash is tax free. You cant starve the feds they operate on borrowed money created out of thin air. However you can put the hurt on local & state parasite goverments. I know a girl has a clothing store in a small town. Her water bill was exorbant. She used very little water yet with fire protection, mosquito control garbage pickup sewer and some other special city tax she was paying out the nose for a part time business she ran for two days per week. She closed down and rented a large mini storage just outside the city limits. no tax from her any longer. Its possible to starve the local beast.

      37. Obviously the recent report that the IQ of Western nations has declined more than 14 points is true.

      38. I’m weighing in know.

        This thing with the umbrella got called in by a person. The Swat team wasn’t riding around in there van looking for some place to raid!

        The MORON that can’t tell what a rifle is over an umbrella is the one to blame.

        Someone stated and or ask the question why they had their guns pointed at him. The answer was because some moron call and said that they saw him with a gun. If he did have a gun? What would you do if you confronted him? I can tell you right know that you aren’t going to take out a tazer or you pocket knife to confront him. You will point your weapon at him. Remember it was a DUMB Turd that called it in that he had an Assault Rifle (no such F#$%^ing thing) that turned out to be an Assault Umbrella. If he did have an assault rifle and he pitched it because he knew the cops were on their way, and he was up to no good he could have been carrying a hand gun. You don’t know and you don’t take the chance.
        Like I always say. I’m going home tonight, I’m not going to go to the hospital or meet Jesus, because I wasn’t careful.

        Someone said something about getting paid.
        Do you get paid when you work Overtime?
        Now remember it was a SWAT team getting called to a gun call. Now some of the LEO’s are at home they get called in because some IDIOT called in an Assault rifle on campus. Most of the time that means that someone could get shot. If for one moment you can put a monetary figure on a life you let me know. This could be on the bad guy or the LEO’s.

        The one paying this bill should be the Turd that called it in. Now if the Turd was right they should get a reward.

        Here is another thought. If you kid was at that campus, and a call came out a man with an Assault rifle. I would bet you would want the VERY BEST SWAT TEAM that you can get there and would care what they did or how much it cost to protect your child! If you say “NOT” you are DAMN LIAR!
        AIM SMALL MISS SMALL
        Sgt.

        • Sgt Dale needs to be put out to Pasture. He is losing his temper right here on this site and this is just a conversation. Sheesh. Imagine that Cop freak confronting you during a traffic stop over something simple. That is the main reason why COPS have a bad Public Approval rating. Arrogance and Power by Idiots with a badge and a gun.

          First SGT Dale, you do Not know what you got till you get to the scene and properly investigate. So shut your Cop trap.

          • WWT
            I didn’t loose my temper. I’m just make a point on how hypocritical people are. Very quick to judge these SWAT guys.
            You are right about the scene. If it was a pack of Pit bulls running through the campus, and one was carrying another dog in its mouth (ie the umbrella). Would you not have your weapon pointing at them or it just incase it did attack?
            The SWAT team checked out the guy and released him didn’t they.
            Sgt.

            To all of you folks that have never been a LEO, and you only dreamed of being one or tried and failed. I believe you are the ones that have become TROLLS when it comes to the Police.

            There are some good folks on this site that try to understand what a cop goes through, but until you walk a mile in my shoes you have no clue.
            Like me I have always wanted to be a fighter pilot. I don’t think I could have passed the test. I have a bad case of motion sickness. I don’t go around bad mouthing Fighter Pilots.

            • Cops are simply government endorsed & government funded viglantie enforcers

      39. To all; the hard working Peace Officers, who follow the rules and the law, that are not influenced to drink the Kool-Aid. A word of WARNING; please distance yourselves as far away from these brain dead morons that call themselves Law Enforcement as you can. I fear that OPEN SEASON on badges is about to happen. Stay safe and watch each other’s six. You have all of my support.

        River Rat at the ready!!! NOMI///MOLON LABE!!
        TSORIITA/GPTDY!!

      40. I see people all over town with backpacks. I’m going to start calling in this suspicious activity! How about brief cases?

      41. Looks at those jackasses pointing their rifles at anything that moves!

        • Dous
          You had a gun call. The SWAT guys were coving an area just incase of a second or third shooter. Common practice you cover your six!
          Sgt.

          • Good thing there was one guy with an umbrella, someone may been shot!

      42. Obama to give amnesty immediately to “5 million illegals”. He means 20 million. Obama to sign executive order that permits another 800,000 H1B visas to Asians. This will finally eliminate the chances of American kids with computer science degrees from ever finding a job. At least, they won’t get American pay scales. What kind of government does this to it’s own people? This is not America. There are no borders anymore. This is the Globalist Plantation. We are all slaves now.

      43. In a war zone its all Open Carry …were headed that way so we all should be getting used to seeing long guns on people

        also one reason in some states you cannot own a pistol until 21..so how do you go about protecting yourself and still remain within the laws? Open carry of a rifle , because an 18 year old can own a rifle but not a pistol

        ask yourself would you rather have your 16 year old Daughter that just got her first job and drivers license at 16 and no way for her to protect herself until she makes it to 21? If she makes it, carry a rifle or just go without and take your chances?

        tuff call eh?

      44. No media outcry after black cop kills young white man

        “On the surface, the cases appear nearly identical: Michael Brown and Dillon Taylor, two young, unarmed men with sketchy criminal pasts shot to death by police officers two days apart.

        But while the world knows of the highly publicized situation involving 18-year-old Mr. Brown, whose Aug. 9 death in Ferguson, Missouri touched off violence, protests and an angry national debate, most people outside Utah have never heard of 20-year-old Mr. Taylor.”

        Washington Times

        • Capitol Police open fire on a car with a woman and her baby AFTER the vehicle came to a stop and hit a barricade. She was unarmed. She was BLACK. Because Obama’s Praetorian guard pulled the trigger, no riots and no debate on excessive force from MSNBC. She was not compared to Jesus Christ or Gandhi! She was just killed, and the bullets just missed her baby…

          • Someone at the Brown Funeral called Brown “a Legend.” Like WTF? A Legend????

            Is this they best these Blacks can do? A Cigar stealing Thug they worship as a Legend? Keep in mind this is the same Tribe that cheered when OJ Simpson verdict read “Not Guilty.”

      45. As a person who was recently ” SWATed ” I think I have a pretty good perspective of the militariztion of our local police forces.

        My roomate spotted a guy who owes me a 100 bucks and he stopped the guy and threatened him if he didn’t pay up and damned soon. He then parked out front of our home and said the cops were on the way. Man, he wasn’t kidding. One minute later 12 cops ( four with AR 15’s ) with battle armor rolled up and swarmed the house. My roomate proceeded to get very loud, obnoxious and aggressive and things got very tense. I can see the cops body language going into full blown high alert.

        I kept my hands in plain sight and remained calm. I did tell my roomate to shut up and calm down a few times but he kept on ranting an raving which didn’t help at all. Three cops I didn’t know brought their AR’s into my house even after I asked them not to. And yes, I did invite them in to have a look around. The three ignored me and brought their weapons into my house and searched it. They found my house gun on the nightstand and ignored it. The AR 15 dudes left but I was stuck with a 30 YRO a hole sargeant who was giving me a really bad time. You know, the good cop bad cop thing. He threatened me a couple times by intimating he would call detectives and take all three of my safes. I told him that I know my 4th admendment rights and all he could do was look around but not disturb anything or personal property. The jerk told me to STFU and that he knew the 4th better than me. ” I kind of doubt that I told him. Schools quit teaching the Bill of Rights and the Constitution which at that time you would have still been wearing diapers.”

        You know, this is the strange part of this surreal happening. The butt head cop never unloaded the 9mm. He spent a lot of time in my bedroom looking in and under things all by himself. No back up at all! Maybe it was because I was calm and collected? Maybe because I’m a CCW holder in good standing in Ohio? Tactically him being with me by himself with a loaded weapon doesn’t make sense to me. I would think that he would have had back up there especially when I’m 6’3 and 185 lbs. I’m still puzzled.

        At any rate most of the cops were gone within 10 minutes and had stuffed and cuffed my roomie as well they should have because the dude was over the top.

        My dog who was on the 30 ft chain nipped one of the cops and A hole cop wanted to take her and put her down. The cop ( who I know BTW ) talked A hole out of his tree especially when he asked Tom ( cop ) if I could take a photo of the wound and kind of shrugged and said she didn’t break the skin and was fine. I really appreciated that.

        A couple of the cops were left on site to await the drug canine. We had a nice chat and a couple of laughs. The one cop ( won’t mention his name ) was my Krav Maga instructor. He seemed embarrassed a little. Of course the drug dog didn’t find anything and they were on their way.

        A couple of observations.

        1). I supposedly live in bad neighborhood so the police response is going to overwhelming to subdue the residents. I’ve never had any major problems in the trailer park where I live. I steer clear of any troublemakers and the management here has done a great job of booting problematic people.

        2) I did approach the management here and filled them in because being proactive is the best policy. The idiot in charge said the cops are sick and tired of responding to calls here in the park and to tell the truth, I’ve heard the same thing from the three cops i know pretty well. they KNOW who the biggest troublemakers are here.

        3) Ego and youth. I would rather deal with a cop with 10 plus years experience rather than some newbie officer with a hard on to cut his teeth in the department.

        4) Know your rights and be polite yet firm. You wanna get yourself shot then act like a fool and it won’t go well for you. Cops these days aren’t like the ones I was exposed to in the 70’s and 80’s, they are much more militant and reluctant to engage in a physical confrontation and yeah, I get it. There are so many variables now than 30 years ago when a cop might be called to wrestle with a pissed off drunk and haul him/her off to the cooler to calm down. Cops were a lot tougher then.

        5) Us vs. Them mentality has increased dramatically amongst police. Especially in a ‘ rough ” neighborhood or what they consider a tough neighborhood.

        6) There are still plenty of police out there who joined the force to actually protect and serve. I respect those folks. I would never ever want to be a cop. I don’t have the patience and that’s where the trouble starts. A bored cop is a dangerous cop. A negative cop is a frustrated cop.

        Bottom line: know your G-d given rights from our Founders. Don’t flip out when cops show up. Be firm and resolute but maintain calm. Use your head not your emotions.

        BTW, the police did confiscate one of my handguns. A broken CO2 BB gun!!!

      47. Sorry about the double post.

        One last thing I forgot to add. The butt head cop seemed overly interested in my carbon/fire detection device which was still in the package and told me twice that it would be a good idea to install the batteries and get it put up on the wall. The irony could have knocked me over with feather.

        YOU came here with machine guns, a belligerent ‘tude and military grade body armor and now you’ve twice admonished me to put up a new smoke detector?

        You should have seen the look on his face when I laughed at him.

        Kafkaesque for sure.

        Best,
