You’ve got to be kidding me. I had to check to see if the author of this article was John Semmens before I posted any reply.
A National Guardsman, who even the Federal government doesn’t try to argue is not a militiaman, cannot go about in public, with a pellet gun? This is what the “right to bear arms” has come to in America?
So now an honorable veteran can’t even train without getting arrested. Apparently a pellet gun is an instrument of terrorism. Fifty thousand dollars bond?? This nation has gone insane.
I wish this was unbelievable.
Martinsburg is a liberal hell hole and the once beautiful, historical downtown is now a ghetto with a few tourist traps.
I have to say I was surprised in a way when we took “hikes” as a group in full battle with weapon while I was deployed in a foreign country. I was really taken aback one day riding the Harley through Roanoke to see a line of soldiers doing so in the US. No one else seemed to even notice. Curious. One soldier is frightening but 100 aren’t.
The Fort Hood killer is not a terrorist but this guy is?
Of course he’s a terrorist! He’s in the US Army! He’s a war veteran! Just ask Homeland Security.
I wonder if the “additional military equipment” seized was his issued field gear.
His mistake was being armed in the liberal part of WV. Do that in Raleigh or Fayette County, and he’d be called over to ask whether he liked EOTECH or Aimshot sights better.
Between this, the treatment of the Seals, the Marine thrown in a psych eval ward for Facebook postings...
They are nibbling us to death and we are doing NOTHING to put a serious stop to it.
When all is outlawed, we all will be outlaws.
Wearing a bulletproof vest is a terrorist act now???
...if he was burning an American flag and calling for Jihad against Americans, no one would have said or done anything.
Thus is life in Obamaland......
So, the bottom line is that he had a pellet gun and he’s STILL in jail?? That’s like giving someone a ticket for speeding when they are standing on the sidewalk, but have a car at home in the garage.
Why can’t people see what is happening to us? Will they even notice when they are being loaded in the cattle cars?
Hysteria \Hys*te"ri*a\, n. [NL.: cf. F. hyst['e]rie. See
Hysteric.] (Med.)
A nervous affection, occurring almost exclusively in women,
in which the emotional and reflex excitability is
exaggerated, and the will power correspondingly diminished,
so that the patient loses control over the emotions, becomes
the victim of imaginary sensations, and often falls into
paroxism or fits.
[1913 Webster]
Note: The chief symptoms are convulsive, tossing movements of
the limbs and head, uncontrollable crying and laughing,
and a choking sensation as if a ball were lodged in the
throat. The affection presents the most varied
symptoms, often simulating those of the gravest
diseases, but generally curable by mental treatment
alone. Hysteric
Every guardsman and veteran in the state should be demonstrating in front of the police station until this man is free.
If we had a real Justice Department, the cops, the judge, and the prosecutor would be in federal custody awaiting trial for violating the soldier’s Constitutional rights under color of law.
another fail. I know, let’s start report off-duty police officers for having a gun in public. I am sure they would enjoy it as much as CCW permit-holders and open-carriers do.
"According to my opinion, and the opinions of many defectors of my caliber, only about 15% of time, money, and manpower is spent on espionage as such. The other 85% is a slow process which we call either ideological subversion, active measures, or psychological warfare. What it basically means is: to change the perception of reality of every American that despite of the abundance of information no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interest of defending themselves, their families, their community, and their country. ...

Evidence of what? Running with a pellet gun?
oh, and now he is drunk. Story changing by the day.
