Better not get a stiffy while walking in that mall.It could prove to be fatal.

[jocko]

Please don't get in line behind me at the Cinnabon counter.

This story is rediculous. What else would we expect though from a culture of people raised to fear guns. These are probably the same douchebags who suspend 4th graders for pink squirt guns and suspend a kid who brought in a green 'army man' to remember his dad serving overseas with... ya know, because that 1/2" plastic gun is against school policy. This is the crap we've been educating people with, and this is the result of such idiocy.

The strange part is, they probably sell that very umbrella at Burlington Mall.....

[BuckeyeBlast]

hmm... maybe they're smarter than we think... (LOL)

[robdnor]

hahaha, he was just trying to look like a mall ninja with his umbrella, how does anyone see a gun from that?....
also.. lmao that something as stupid as "police say the case is closed and no charges will be filed"... was said in the news report... like he did something wrong

I wonder how Massachusetts homeowners who helped found the country 240 years ago who had to be ready "at a minute's notice" with their guns would feel about their laws today.

What a bunch of dummies. Everyone should know he was carrying a sword!

I gotta get one of those umbrellas. So I can carry it over my shoulder, in the mall, on a sunny day, just for laughs.

[MrToad]

If people are confusing sword-like items with rifles, how long before knives are mistaken for pistols? Shoot, my 8" black nylon lettuce knife will probably be mistaken for a Glock with an "assault clip".

hahaha, he was just trying to look like a mall ninja with his umbrella

LOL, that was my first thought too.

This is why the Chinese are going to rule the world for the next 200 years. They don't give a hoot for that PC crap. They are raising a generation of capitalist warriors, we are raising a generation of marxist gays and lesbians.
