you’re a vet thAt has ptsd on any medical form throw your rights out the window. I know a guy who was out for 9 years with 0 mental issues. Then after 9 years His paperwork says he has symptoms of ptsd(anxiety that doesn’t effect him socially) and as soon as he got that on his paperwork the cops have hounded him. Every time pulled over he gets searched and arrested 3x charges dried every single time with a public defender as lawyer. All after diagnosis arrest happened.Your name is basically flagged with ptsd. I know for a fact they have people labeled with ptsd that don’t have it catching these fricks that want to abuse power. But it takes time and support of friends and family to get those through it.
They need vets to be the enemy so if you’re a vet it’s all about love. FWIW that’s kinda what Jesus was talking about on turn the other cheek because the law was fricked. Let evil over step and counter punch within the rules because they are going to accuse you no matter what you do. Violence only gives them more power and it’s scary there’s really no legal recourse except them paying you for being wrong. Accountability has to be had or it’s all for naught.




Yeah none of that happened.

He was reported for owning illegal magazines and the police used that as evidence that he was a threat under the red flag laws of NY to gain access to his home and confiscate his firearms.

Lesson of this story: Don't live in New York if you want to make sure your guns stay in your possession. Those red flag laws are absolute bullshite. There's a reason why Trump got in deep shite with conservatives for entertaining them earlier this year.

This is also another example of why I have a healthy distrust of the police. They're flawed human beings just like the rest of us.

Such police state BS, this is going to end up with a dead veteran. Regardless of what happens hopefully this will shed some light on this unconstitutional BS and changes can be made. This would be a perfect thing for Trump to tweet on however I think he is pro flag law unfortunately.

I don’t think it’s wise to just dismiss this as a New York thing. Dan Crenshaw of Texas is in favor of these laws.

Half the fricking country voted for Obama, we are surrounded by boot licking idiots and the numbers are growing by the minute.

Trump may be a republican and govern like a conservative but at his core, he's still an urban New Yorker that grew up in the culture of NYC and that's not something one just grows out of.

I'm not. Just admitting what's reality as the political landscape of this country. Blue states want to take your guns, don't live there if you want to keep your guns.

Crenshaw is turning into a one eyed version of John McCain. I don't trust that guy.

So he's not going to be charged with anything. Was this about guns at all?
