Any context for why that kid was waving that gun around?

I played with paintball and rubber bang guns when I was younger although admittedly not alone.

Just seemed like very bizarre behavior. Wish there was some context. Not that it merited that type of response.

Maybe he was smoking marijuana? Maybe he has undiagnosed mental health issues like most of our society.

i watched the video and hmm i wouldnt say its justified knowing all the facts after it happened, but...................what the fuk is a 12 year old doing by himself in a park, waving and pointing fake guns at people, thats crazy in and of itself, there is nothing in the video that shows he was NOT a danger to other people or to assume the gun wasnt real

a 12 yo acting strange? go figure
was he wearing a suit and sipping tea at a bistro? that would be strange
but him running around playing imaginary cops and robbers, that seem normal to me

He is 12, outside alone and probably using his imagination to shoot bad guys or zombies or space aliens. Basically he was playing.
You never "shot" at things with your toy gun when you were a little kid?

yup this is the question that fixes the ill of society right about now, I think this is where we need to focus our energies

or to assume the gun wasnt real

I like where this is going for society in general, at some point something is going to have to give, either the manufacturers of sad toy guns or the blaming of said toy guns, win/win either way

i dont buy that, the caller clearly says he was pointing it at people, i dont doubt that in his mind he was playing, but i dont see how other people would know he was playing

the caller also said it was a kid and probably fake...

would you drive within a foot of someone who is supposedly shooting a gun?

everything black people do is strange or peculiar in some way
and needs to b analyzed to infinitum
forget about the guy who is trained to deescalate situations rolling up into "danger" and escalating at the first chance he gets, now that...no need to look at that at all

probably, maybe.....

since its a gun we are talking about, you have to assume its real

this is the world we are in now

since its a gun we are talking about, you have to assume its real

the caller explicitly said it.


if you assume it's real you drive within a few feet of a person with a real gun?


Guns shoot through glass and metal and a host of other objects right? They shoot through people even?
