This is such bullshit.

A pool company employee and two animal rights protesters face summary charges as a result of a post-protest confrontation on a Warminster street in February that ended after the pool employee pulled a gun on the protesters.

video included in the story.

Why is it bullshit? All of them broke a few laws, reckless driving for all, harassment at the hands of the SHARK people and the idiot for drawing a gun for intimidation porpoises instead of self defense.

It sounds like everything worked out the way it should have.

... intimidation porpoises...

Well.. at least one intimidating porpoise.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled thread...

Yeah, the Warminster PD won't be charging the gun wielding idiot because he donates a LOT of money to the election campaigns of the democrats on Town Council. He also won't be investigated for hiring and housing illegal aliens. Nice township I live in ,huh?

That video was shot less than two blocks from my house. I'd like to see all their licenses to drive pulled for the way they drove through neighborhood streets.

But the GWI is being charged according to the article, just not charged appropriately. He's getting off on a DC, which I think is wrong, and is probably because of exactly what you said.

Had the SHARK people not followed the other guy the situation wouldn't have escalated to what it did. Nor would there had been the driving activities that had occurred.

Those SHARK folks came here from Illinois to meddle with our own business. ...an activity that is legal.

The guy was being pursued and harassed. I'm sure adrenaline was flowing and tensions were high, certainly affecting judgement. In my opinion, a more serious charge than DC is not necessary. Put yourself in his shoes, with all that adrenaline, would you be able to keep cool and not draw your gun? It's hard to know until you're actually in that situation. No doubt he handled it poorly, but it could have been much worse.

Protesting is also an activity that is legal. The rights to free speech and assembly mean that we all get to put up with people "meddling in our own business".

Certainly.. However to take one's self from their home 500 miles away just to protest shooting some birds, there is likely the intent to cause some scene to further hamper the lawful activity.

If they don't have anything better to do than to protest something in another state, which is legal in that state, then maybe they should stay home and get a life, job, or protest something important in their own state.

I guess its morally ok for the West Boro Baptist church to protest at the funeral services of Dead Service members too?

I think we all get the Constitutions a hell of alot more than 99% of our elected officials and government employees, however, just because something is legal or illegal, don't make the issue any less moral or immoral, ethical or unethical, valued or less valued.
