Student Arrested After Posing With AK-47 Online

[jadiff]

This is what it is coming to friends. Sure, I understand this is in the cesspool of Cook County and we don't have the entire story here. But, it looks to me like this young man was arrested for simply posing with a firearm! Oh, they may ultimately NOT get away with it and all charges may be dropped, but the money and hassle of this will be enormous! So, am I missing something? Or is this, as I suspect, a heavy handed over-reaction by the thugs of Chicago?

CHICAGO (CBS) — A freshman at a Palos Heights high school was arrested earlier this week, after posing with an AK-47 in photos shared on Snapchat.

The Cook County Sheriff’s office said detectives were notified of the images Sunday afternoon. The 15-year-old student at Shepard High School was arrested Sunday evening at his home in Worth.

One of the images shared online included the school’s name.

The boy was charged as a juvenile with misdemeanor disorderly conduct.

A sheriff’s office spokeswoman said the gun he posed with was legally owned by an adult, but not his parents.

Another reason I rarely post firearm stuff I own on social media.

I guess they could go with a straw purchase?

Some legal beagle help me out here. Charged with "disorderly conduct" for posting a picture with a legal implement? How does this compute?

This is how they intend to stop school shootings. Policing the internet and people's thoughts.

I call it a big payday. If I had social media (besides youtube)
Id be posting pics of me with guns. Arrest me, I really do need the money.

The only reason to pose with a firearm is if you are a democrat trying to get elected.

I could assist you with acquiring a fleecbook account and uploading of pictures.
