Ahmaud Arbery OP/ED

How the hell do you fit a rifle up your sleeve? I’m a pretty tall bloke with consequently long arms, and I don’t think I could manage it.

He had a very loose oversized  hoodie, and it was a small riffle. I could see the barrel protruding out of his sleeve. He did a very bad job trying to cover it up with his hoodie, jacket.

Just today in the last hour the prosecutor and defense lawyers were arguing over the admissibility of crime history in that particular location. The defense has argued that they had seen the victim several times, but could not claim they saw Ahmaud steal anything. The prosecutor brought up the crime ratio for that particular zip code to disprove the accused had any real case to even assume Ahmaud was a deadly threat. 

I think she, the prosecutor did a great job today undermining the defense in saying basically, "Well if this is such a high crime zip code, then why do the history of police reports don't play out to a violent neighborhood?". 

I once had a white guy walk between my yard with a riffle up his sleeve. It was the middle of the day, and it scared the shit out of me, because he had it up his sleeve, first of. But it was also in the middle of the day. If I took the attitude these Rambo assholes took with Ahmaud, and I chased this guy with a gun and killed him. I doubt it would take 3 months to arrest me.

Yes, of course, a rifle up his sleeve. Wonder why others wear trench coats to hide their rifles...oh yeah...it was a small rifle and big sleeves.

You are an idiot. Dude might have had a gun up his sleeve but it wasn't a rifle...maybe a sawed off shotgun or a long barrelled pistol.

Ya know...I am torn between wondering how you ever left the house with your intense fear of everyfuckingthing and the fact that you were allowed to leave the house without a keeper.

When your shoulder looks like the butt of a riffle, and you are walking with a stiff arm, and I can see a barrel sticking out of your palm, that is a firearm.

I have an SU16C - a very short .223 semi auto rifle with a folding stock. It is so short Michigan required me to register it as a pistol. (They changed the law - they no longer require or allow it to be registered as a pistol.) Even with a short 5 round magazine  it would not fit in my sleeve unless it was a size 200 hoodie.

But - i CAN fit it under a duster - or carry it in the car - legally. (They grandfather the registration). I have carried it public. In a violin case.

Very poorly, I reckon. Unless the rifle's very short and/or you plan on keeping your shooting arm stiff as all fuck until you need it. But, then again, it'd probably be far simpler to use a pistol like that.

Is it possible that you saw something that wasn’t a rifle and mistook it FOR a rifle? We’ve all done things like that.

It was probably a whip of black licorice.


They hand them out like candy - don'tcha know?
