"Stormtrooper" Arrested, Lynn School Locked Down.

[discjoker]

Lead: "A Lynn man is facing charges after he was spotted outside a city elementary school dressed as a “Star Wars” stormtrooper, complete with fake gun."

The police's take: A police spokesman tells the Salem News the way things are in today’s society, “you can’t have that” and said Cross “used bad judgment.”

In today's society? What society is that? The society where everyone is afraid of their own shadow. At most the guy should have been told to "move along".

Sigh, I really gotta move out of this state

 

[usp45ct]

Saw a great bumper sticker on the back of a Subaru that pretty well summed up the stupidity and ignorance of the state " troopers are here to protect you." When seconds count cops are minutes away....unless you are a storm trooper.

Mass wussies....nothing to see here

 

[GM-GUY]

So all the other crime issues have been solved in Lynn?

 

[spcantwell]

I have no idea why, but for some reason I am imagine this situation playing out in my mind, Robot Chick Style:

 

[Sprocket]

Or "Cops"

 

[atilla]

shoulda jedi mind tricked the cops.

this is not the 40 year old man dressed up in a costume hanging outside of a school that you're looking for.

i have a hard time coming to terms with someone looking at this dude, going HE'S GOT A GUN and then calling the cops.

everyone knows what that star wars character is. eeeeeeeveryone.

people are ****ing stupid.

 

[the_shootist]

people are ****ing stupid.

That sir is a severe understatement!!!

 

[Evadd]

Anyone who looked at a stormtrooper and thought "We're in danger" should be arrested for public stupidity.

...charged with disturbing a school...

Is that an actual charge??

 

[atilla]

Is that an actual charge??

in this post-9/11-post-newtown-post-al qaeda world?

of course it is.

it's for the children.

 

[Kicker96FS]

So who is the real storm trooper here?

 

[BenDover]

We have gotten to the point where making someone nervous is an arrestable offense....

 

[wolfenkraft]

I just... don't understand how what he did is illegal. He was on the sidewalk... Also, on the news, they seemed surprised his blaster was a toy. As if, it was more likely to be an ACTUAL blaster. [sad2]

 

[W.E.C]

What 40 yr old guy gets a costume and can't wait to show all the kids at the local school?

Ha, and nobody asked what his NES name was!

I am not saying that the guy that this thread is about is TK421991 on the forum. Just that there happens to be a guy here on the forum called TK421991.

Priceless comment from the peanut gallery @ Salem News:

Now, if he had been in a bottomless gay pride vinyl suit carrying a dildo, no one would have been concerned.

 

[bob6180]

Sitting waiting for an inspection sticker. Buttoned up older woman starts ranting about how " in this day and age. Someone like that should be arrested for leaving the house like that!!"

I simply looked at her and asked "what harm was he really doing" she couldn't answer and is now hiding behind her newspaper.

Ugh. Liberals hate truth.

i have a hard time coming to terms with someone looking at this dude, going HE'S GOT A GUN and then calling the cops.

everyone knows what that star wars character is. eeeeeeeveryone.

They also should know that even if it were a real gun, no one was in danger - stormtroopers can't hit shit.

 

[CobaltBlueSteel]

So who is the real storm trooper here?

I was going to say "A storm trooper arrested by storm troopers for being a storm trooper. Irony."

 

[noxin]

I was going to say "A storm trooper arrested by storm troopers for being a storm trooper. Irony."

The thin white line?
