Weld sheriff suspends gun permit of Greeley school member broadcasting anti-MLK message

You've never heard the term "shootout" used for any other setting besides violence with a firearm? I sure have.

problem is that Mr sensationalist has communicated a threat, and there is evidence of such. If the Sheriff Didn't revoke it and there had been a shooting, the sheriff would be in dereliction and thus liable.

^^^ this, couldn't have said it better myself.

This is why we need national Vermont/Alaska/Arizona style carry.

Suspending a license for political speech? Frankly the Sheriff should be removed from duty over this.

I concur.

I suprised no one has changed the subject in this thread yet. Damnit, now I can't remember, who has the avatar of the texas A&M girl in a bikini bottom kneeling down in the water? Didn't he make that picture bigger?

[Byte Stryke]

I concur.

OK, I will go along with you guys on this.


HOWEVER
in as much as Mr Reese has threatened deadly force, I believe he should be locked up and sentenced for attempted murder in the 1st.

IF

Mr Sasso had Shot The jackass dead in the street would the Threatening message have been justifiable defense?

Let's pretend we are all adults, in a tense situation you do not mention shootouts or guns or firing on someone in any way shape or form.

this isn't about a political message, this is about a sensationalist trying to up himself and pull pity in the name of political persecution when in fact he is guilty of immaturity and communicating a threat.

Call me on the phone and threaten me?
Next time I See you it's 2 center-Mass, no questions.
"I Swear officer, he reached in his coat for something. He had recently threatened to shoot me."

This isn't a fucking game.

great, so we've gone from "protecting and serving" to "avoiding liability issues"

The sheriff would not have been liable. The Supreme Court of the United States has said so.

Besides, when was the last time you heard of a CHP holder making threats and attacking someone with their firearm?

I'd like to hear the specific threat. If he explicitly threatened violence or bodily harm, that's one thing.

Right now I'm inclined to believe that the "victim" heard the word shoot and immediatley went running to restraining orders Я us while dialing the sheriff.

Now I could be wrong, but I'm giving the guy the benefit of the doubt.

Y'know, that pesky "innocent until proven guilty" thing and all.

Apparently you didn't read the article...

No I didn't ... it wasn't linked* and only a couple of clips posted.





*Actually it may have been linked but I have a site blocking extension running to block ALL Righthaven related web sites as I don't want to get sued for quoting one (nor do I want to contribute to any of them getting any traffic ... they should all go out of business).

[Byte Stryke]

well call me crazy, but I am pretty sure there had to be some validity to the threat that was RECORDED on Sasso's voice mail for the sheriff to go yank a CHP.

I would like to think the sheriff wouldn't do that had the threat been "political Shootout" or "Media Shootout."
I honestly believe a threat was made and we will have to wait and see.

but I know that the whole MLK Thing has been a controversial media stunt from the word go. I Suspect that this is only more of the same except that in this case its backfired.


anyone else notice that DP Titled it:
"Weld sheriff suspends gun permit of Greeley school member broadcasting anti-MLK message"

Instead of

"Weld sheriff suspends gun permit of Greeley school member Threatening Competitor."



Left handed spin sucking people in again.

byte has highlighted the real reason the guy is being persecuted.
