Clown War Update - Scaring People with Guns can be Hazardous to Your Health
It is very dangerous to pull pranks like this in areas where people are already in fear of being attacked and might be armed. Bob Owens of Bearing Arms provides a good discussion on what would constitute reasonable and lawful self-defense in such a situation. Basically one should recognize that for a civilian a “thin red line” separates lawful self-defense” from unlawful behavior like “brandishing", “menacing” or “assault”. Once a suspect ceases to pose a credible threat of harm to you, you are likewise supposed to stop employing force or the threat of force against him. Much as you might like to pursue and punish a cretin who fucks with you like that, the law does not allow you to do so. "Teaching him a lesson” is what the authorities will typically regard as “excessive force”. Naturally it’s hard to turn on a dime in frightening and bewildering situations like this where you taken by surprise and really have no idea what the suspect’s intentions are. As former talk-radio personality Barry Farber frequently observed, “Wrongdoing invites over-reaction”. Nevertheless, given the pervasiveness of Leftist thought in our society today, the authorities will frequently be more forgiving of troublemakers than they will be of "responsible” citizens who are forced to react to the troublemakers’ behavior. Be on your guard against this.
FYI. Since this happened California it is unlikely that the victim of the prank had a concealed carry weapon (CCW) permit and thus was probably carrying illegally. California has a “may issue” permit system; the county sheriff gets to decide whether an applicant needs a CCW permit or not. In practice this means that very few people are issued a CA CCW permit. One typically has to be a celebrity, an officer of the court or employed in private security to qualify.
In the final analysis did the Media get pranked as Bob Owens alleges? Could be. Among other things the fact that the camera man kept filming rather than take off running as soon as he saw the gun suggests this. Couldn’t happen to nicer people.
Jeremy,I support whacking, whipping, stabbing, shooting, cleaving and even running over clowns.
Thank you for these uplifting stories.
