What kind of verification would you need to spread the word on something like this? How do you separate the wheat from the chaff as it were? I've been on the other side of a media whitewashing. It is scary how quickly people who have known you for years turn on you and believe lies in print. It is comforting when complete strangers turn into your best friends.
I haven't seen a single piece of actual reporting or verified photo and video evidence of a "massive force" turning out. There were no other arrests or crowds reported by any of the actual reporters who were actually on the scene. Crowds of crazy militia bros fighting it out with the police in a graveyard would be national news in about ten minutes, instead it's crickets. Nothing happened.
WW556 was full of s*** and a bunch of gullible keyboard warriors repeated, embellished, and flat out lied about his claims. There was no red flag order, there were no guns or magazines, just a drunk abuser in an empty plate carrier trying to dodge the consequences of his actions. People got hoodwinked because they wanted to believe the great boogaloo or something was about to happen. Outside of social media garbage, it appears pretty clear what the facts are.
It's sad how many prominent gun media personalities got suckered by this without seeking any verification.
Ill hold off before I believe the copsIt looks like the only danger was the hyped up keyboard warriors who desperately wanted to believe his story.
YepLiberty does not need a poster child; people should stop looking for a messiah and start living their values.
Looks like it had nothing to do with the 2AD?
Allegedly broke into wife's safe house while drunk after wife and the child had moved out and had a restraining order in place.
I am not the smartest dude around but if people run to the defense of everyone that has a warrant for criminal trespass, criminal contempt, aggravated harassment and petit larceny. It’s going to a whole lot running to people’s aid!

Lots of broken links and deleted post and threads on other forums as the story takes shape, it appears some want comments to disappear.
Looks like there may be even more to come out about the dude none looks positive just rumors so far I am sure web sleuths will know everything about him soon.
Go beg me account $10,599 for what?

And how would you feel if it was legitimate, and that people decided not to believe his story, and he ended up losing his life over a box with a spring in it?
This is like telling a 911 operator "you got hyped up for nothing, you shouldn't have sent an ambulance to that call!" just because it ended up being a false alarm.
We need to look out for each other, in this current state of severe government over-reach, and our first instinct shouldn't be to question someone's call for help. The only rights you have are the ones you're willing to forcibly defend.
There is truth in both statements.
I also think that an over reaction to a situation such as this can do more harm than actual good but I do see all sides here.
As fast as stuff like this unfolds, by the time there's anything concrete, it's going to be long over.
If people want a chance to challenge these laws being enforced, they're going to have to jump on a hope and a prayer that it's legitimate.
I'd rather people show up to protect someone and be wrong, than people abandon their countrymen because they aren't sure if their facts are straight.
The latter can be manipulated by the state, the former is impossible to control.
And before anyone thinks there weren't people out there, there were countless instagram videos of people driving around the place.
If the guy is a wife abuser then **** him.Sounds like the words of Black Lives Matters...
Sure, NY/NJ has some very draconian gun laws, but not every action against a gun owner is a 2A issue, and not every gun owner is a saint. - I hope this young man gets the help he needs.
Here's perfectly rational and proper policing, but because of the person's status (here it's celebrity vet instead of a black person), everyone's jumping to conclusions, spreading rumors and vitriol against LEO, and the suspect is ginning it all up.
The scary thing is, there's a ton of people willing to riot because of whatever rumors they here on social media, be they BLM, Antifa, or "patriots". They're all just waiting for the other side to make the first move.
