He flashes his gun at 6:07
These are children who are justifiably terrified that they won’t live to see adulthood because assholes like you have worked tirelessly to ensure they won’t be able to escape the horrors of rampant gun violence.
Well if people who want to have adult conversations are going to use intimidation as a tactic they should be charged with adult crimes.
I’ll bet this thug uses the phrase “responsible gun owner” a lot.
Nothing but bad faith arguments, closes the conversation with sexism. Class act.
…and he was charged with brandishing a firearm when?
Bet the student can’t bring his gun into the capital.
Unsurprisingly, Lucas has a history. Sterling individual we should all look up to, meaning you should never let him out of your sight.
If one wants to have an adult conversation one must first find an adult.
Huh. He’s currently on probation for two misdemeanors (OWI and leaving the scene of an accident). I guess Indiana is fine with concealed carry while on probation? He has a lot to say about other criminals with guns being a problem in Indianapolis. Look in the mirror, Jim.
Everything about this guy seems rotten, don’t read if you don’t want to be (more) pissed off:
What a hateful and obtuse asshat.
He’s so brave, standing up to unarmed children like that.
Until the part when he runs away, at least.
Inevitably.
His mug shot:
Despite his defense of “inanimate objects”, he of course is on the wrong side of history on banning books, which are inanimate objects not used in mass murders.
Born in Seymour, only capable of seein’ less.
I agree with the concept, just not who he’s implying wasn’t able to handle the situation like an adult.
That sounds borrowed from a different flavor of indecent exposure scandal…
