So why did they go through his bag and frisk him exactly?
I am gonna go with probable cause... if it was me I wouldn't have called the cops or anyone else, let the fools run around chasing there tales all day long.

I graduated from UMass Amherst 2 years ago. Being such a liberal school, many of my facebook friends are antis. I figured I'd throw this news story up there just to tick some of them off but I was shocked. Not a single "what if it was a gun" comment yet.

ETA: Immigrations and Customs Enforcement - WHAT THE HELL WERE THOSE POSs DOING THERE?
They probably turned on the JBT spotlight call like in batman. They all showed up to "GET SOME!"
ICE moved their Boston office to the Burlington area. When the call went out, everyone rolled.WTF with the ICE people being there? Did they think they were actually going to enforce a law or something?
I bet a bill banning novelty umbrellas comes out of this.
An Act to Prevent the Sale of Novelty Umbrellas That Look Like Swords that People Think Are Rifles
I still can't see how anyone would think that's a rifle. Obviously it looks like a sword but a rifle?
IN!

“I’d do it all over again if this happened tomorrow,” said Kent, who said about 40 officers responded to the scene from his department, surrounding departments, the State Police and federal agencies such as the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and Immigrations and Customs Enforcement.
Not saying it's so, but if you look at the samurai handle as the rifle barrel, the bag has a certain shape that is more in line with a rifle stock. I think the population in Ma is blinded by fear, so they see scary things instead of unusual things.... The socialism of sight.
Maybe we need a poll - which was sillier? This or the English bomb squad response to the Holy Hand Gernade of Antioch?
Down, but I am going to open carry my umbrella, you have to get them used to seeing this kind of thing, if you want it to be socially acceptable.
I saw one of those samurai umbrellas on the T last week. I thought, "Cool, that guy has a sword. Oh wait, it's just one of the those umbrellas from ThinkGeek."
I don't know whether to laugh or cry. If it wasn't for the report from Roanoke, VA of a similar incident in a free state, I would just chalk this up to MA stupidity, but apparently the stupid is strong in this country.
I say, group buy on those umbrellas and we stage a protest at the mall. 100 NESers with samurai umbrellas.
As long as the good guys who flood the place train together. Otherwise if real shooting happens, they just end up shooting each other while trying to shoot the bad guys.
This is suprising because ???
Hey, the officers made it home ok right ?
I'm sure all of the responding officers were a little on edge after the Christmas-time Kohls robbery not too long ago (or too far away). You have to be full on retarded to walk into a mall with something resembling a firearm or sword and not expect to get a reaction of some type. Was it waaaaaaaaaay overboard ... yes but still guy is just dumb.
Those are for profiling purposes, you purchase one there and the clerk hits a button mobilizing the national guard to come in and give you a hot lead enema.You do realize that stores in malls sell cheap samurai swords, right? I am not a mall rat so admittedly the last time I saw a shop selling one was 6 years ago in RI, but I can't imagine much has changed. They had knife stores in the lake grove mall in NY my entire childhood too.

That is awesome. Good job.
I'm ready.

You answered your own question.I understand the reaction to the 911 call, what I don't understand is the two woman that spotted this was close enough to ID him could not tell that this was NOT a gun but a novelty umbrella. And if they were that close why did they call it a gun and not a sword?
Retards.
