I-93 road rage incident

[Dennis in MA]

Brandishing is brandishing. Charge em both! Stupidisasstupiddoes, sir.

 

[W.E.C]

I was a highwayman,
Along 3 north I did ride
With a sig by my side
Many a driver pulled over when I flashed
Now it’s gonna cost me a ton of cash
And my job is gonna go bye bye
And my life has crashed....

May I also suggest a paradigm shift and offer up "Road Love" to replace Road Rage...

I want in!

Nope. If he was going to get a free ride he wouldn't have gotten charged and arraigned. Further, guy isn't a badge, he's no
different than some dude that worked at mcdonalds down the street from the PD as far as the "machine" is concerned. He's not "washed".

Yup, and I’m sure he had a dream of some day being LE. Kiss that goodbye. Welcome to pee-on status.

He'll probably lose his LTC, be a PP, and never get that LEO job he was working his way up to. All for a stupid road rage incident. (But if a simple road rage incident is all it took to trigger him, he probably shouldn't be an LEO anyways).

100 million %

According to 7News, court documents indicate Bates is a Suffolk University Police and Security Department dispatcher and has a license to carry.

Use to have an LTC, lol

 

[SgtHal75]

Maybe he’ll have a fire sale......

You'll have to get in line.

Damn. I always forget. Blonde goes on the bottom.

what! this has been up almost 10 min. and no one said "don't bring a knife to a gunfight." especially on the highway.

Specially when you've already seen the gun. Dahhh.

 

[M60]

FIFY

Ahhh, the good old days.

Here's the situation as I see it, based on the article.
Weapons were shown while the parties were in their cars and moving.
A guy with a knife in a moving car, while you are also in a moving car, does not pose an iminant threat. But a guy with a gun in a moving car does pose a threat, even to someone who is in another car.
So knife guy may get charged but any lawyer can get him off.
Gun guy is up the creek. He'll get charged and if he doesn't plea CWOF, he'll be convicted. Either way he'll never legally posses a gun again.

Not quite true. If he lives long enough he may be forgiven.

 

[not new guy]

Stupid thing to lose your career and 2A rights over.

The driver is an idiot. However there is no 'brandishing' law in MA.

NES Threads:

Is this brandishing in Mass. ?
