Grandfather Arrested for Pointing A Firearm At Grandson

[Jeremy1066]

Pawpaw was stoopid and reckless. To me the biggest offense he committed was bringing that firearm onto school property. Now that is a crime all unto itself!

Am I missing the purple sarcasm here? It is not a crime to have a firearm on school property while inside your vehicle.

Selfie? Maybe, maybe not. Trumped up? Maybe, but that's what trials are for. Kid tells the cops: "gramps pointed a loaded gun at me and I took this picture of it".

Let's assume this is a normal kid. I would guess that his knowledge of prepositions is less than Grandpa's knowledge of phone cameras.

An ISP Officer named Poynter is investing a man for pointing.

Irony or karma?

Doug

That is almost as good as the county sanitarian named Tinkle.

Gun?
What is that? A 40mm Glock maybe.

Or a Starbucks coffee cup?

Or more likely a photoshop...

If the grandson had a camera on his phone with that poor level of resolution, the other kids would have kicked his ass a long time ago.

I don't see the kid in the picture, or grampa's other hand.
It almost looks like it could be what's now known as a "selfie".
Where is the proof that the child was ever endangered?

Other than the picture, victim statement, and corroborating admission from the suspect that the photo was taken by had grandson in the context his grandson said (although claiming it was pointing at the door, not really at his grandson), nothing.

Rice told investigators the loaded gun was actually pointed toward the bottom of the passenger side door, court documents said. He admitted it was a “stupid thing” to do and asked his grandson to delete the photo. He said he wasn’t threatening his grandson and would never hurt him. He also said he “posed” for the picture after the boy asked if he could snap a photo of him with his gun.

Ahhh

Like HoughMade's avitar of the kid pointing a pistol at himself (right toe)?

Got it. String the bastard up.

(and if there is some backstory about HoughMade and his avitar that I'm unaware of, I apologize in advance)

I see you're not familiar with human anatomy or how 3 dimensions work.

Do you know any 7 year olds with feet over 12 inches in length that extend at a 90 degree angle to the right from their ankles? 'Cause that would be something to see.

Finally! Someone here admits that the State has nothing, absolutely nothing.
