Grand Junction Man Arrested for Aiming Banana at Police

[Aloha_Shooter]

To some extent, I can see the officers' point although I think prosecution for felony menacing is over the top. Once upon a time, you could generally tell a firearm from fruit or a toy with a quick glance. You can't do that these days with all the different stylings and colors and what have you. I used to be very supportive of kids having toy guns but these days you can't tell if it's a toy or whether the kid is playing around (as opposed to being just freaking stupid or psycho). I'm glad I don't have to deal with that problem like beat cops.

I think he should have ACTUALLY had something to qualify for felony menacing. Those cops were never in any danger, except for making a terrible mistake.

Bananas are evil...

In the Garden of Eden, the forbidden fruit wasn't an apple...it was a banana!

If a banana is considered a full sized deadly fruit, would a plantain be a compact or subcompact deadly fruit?

If they seized the fruit illegally, would it be considered fruit of the poisonous tree?

How many bananas in a bunch before they are considered high capacity?

Will monkeys now need to be fingerprinted and have a background check before they can be fed?

cracking me up man!

The newest IWB holster, a banana hammock.

Nobody caught that it was Deputy Bunch?

just wow all the way around... only one to benefit will be the lawyer (unless it's pro bono- then this is just an all around waste of time & money)

but I wasn't there, maybe they charged him with that because there's no law against being an asshole.

Was that Six Foot, Seven Foot, or Eight Foot Bunch?

I think several of us caught that in the article but are more interested in talking about the banana ...

Secretly, Deputy Bunch is in the Banana Gang.

Everyone caught it, that's why they were making a Bunch of jokes about it. Can't believe you didn't catch that.
