Local residents of a Martha’s Vineyard town in Massachusetts are up in arms after a revered school crossing guard has had his legally owned guns and carry license confiscated by police.
Stephen Nichols is an 84-year old Korean War veteran who served as a police officer of Tisbury, Massachusetts for six decades. He’s been employed as a school crossing guard of the Tisbury School, until recent termination as a result of the same unclear incident that’s resulted in the red flag gun seizure executed against him.
Local reports indicate that Nichols had criticized a local school resource officer in a manner that was interpreted as a threat by the officer and local law enforcement. Nichols was evidently unhappy that the resource officer was taking coffee breaks when children were arriving at school in the morning.
No notice, no appeal, no 2nd amendment.
Are you lost.?? Confused.? Feeling lonely..? Do you own any GUNS.???? Your attitude seems a little odd.. Maybe someone should call the Gestapo and check you out... :(
Stephen Nichols is an 84-year old Korean War veteran was robbed at gunpoint by a gang of thugs in magic blue costumes.
We really to eliminate completely the concept of “Qualified Immunity”
This red flag crap is just beginning, and it’ll spread to epidemic proportions in the states that can get away with it.
It is what each and every politician wants...the disarmament of the citizenry.
It’s leading to “Criticize a Democrat politician, lose your guns.”
Look how Kalifornia modified theirs:
Even a neighbor or co-worker can send in an alert to have your guns "temporarily" taken away.
Feel safer now?
Every democRAT politician.
You left off the descriptive modifier.
So, leftists are targeting old war Vets that say anything a leftist cabal (here a pubic school) does not like.
Pick off the old and weak first, eh? We see the left’s true colors nowadays.
LOL!!!
You live in Fantasy land if you think it is ONLY the RATs that want you disarmed! The GOP may not have the baslls to come out and SAY it, but they want it also.
Sure is.
That concept won’t go well here in PA and other states.
Some woke waitress heard the "shoot up the school" portion of the conversation and reported him to the police.
There is a big difference between someone "could" shoot up a school and he was actually going to shoot up a school himself.
Where's his due process? Where are the witnesses he was talking to at the restaurant to clear up what he said? Where are his 1st Amendment freedom of speech rights? This is wrong in so many ways.
This case sounds like a classic 2nd Amendment rights case. Some lawyer or pro-2nd amendment advocacy group should come to this guy's aid and defense and sue the hale out of the waitress for misrepresenting what he actually said, the town or state responsible for this law for allowing this to happen to one of their law-abiding veteran citizens and the school for firing him.
Not only is this un-American but it borders on unilateral tyranny. He has no say in the matter? This is what communist countries do to their innocent citizens.
Not a neighbor yet, but the next step for sure.
Wouldn’t fly well here in WV either, but it doesn’t alter the fact that it is what they ALL want.
Red-Flag Laws Are Purely un-American!
It’s why the 3rd world state of California has it.
Some Republicans may want to disarm us, but you make a blanket statement about all Republicans.
Since Republicans aren't saying so publicly, you know they want to disarm us from what logic or source? How do you know this is true?
This is just your cynical opinion unless you can provide some evidence to the contrary.
Calis going one step further with confiscation.
And people wonder why their flag has a red star on it.
NO!!!!!
I make a blanket statement about all P O L I T I C I A N S
Grow up and realize this!!!
