When the Italian mob does this same kind of thing it's viewed poorly by most Italians, but there's obviously a big difference in cultures.

these ended peacefully, in fact in one video "thank you" and "have a nice day" was said. Why are the people who'd been stopped and questioned making a thing out of it?
so the police didn't show up and nobody got killed. No riots or protests after these events. No property damage. THANK YOU FOR PROVING MY POINT. People had their issues, the police didn't show up and everybody went home peacefully. WOW.

I already proved the guy had a gun. Now what? Are you going to lie about that?

He’ll either lie about it or ignore your point.

Someone please inform MPowering1 that I've had he/she on ignore for as long as i can remember, that's why i'm not responding to that person. LOL. They can stop wasting their bandwidth. I only see their post because another person quoted them.

LOL

I figured this poster had me on ignore because I always call him out on his bull****. Note he saw my post but didn't answer because once again, I caught him in a lie. I hoped one of you would quote me though, so he'd finally see it.

Maybe one of you can repost this:

The audio is at 2:40 when the clerk says he apologizes to everyone and starts to move to his left. Then the guy behind the counter says, 'Hey. Hey. Back up. Stay away from this weapon.' And the clerk raises his hands in the air.

Whether it was a gun or not, the guy who went behind the counter had a weapon. I only hope 8won6 is treated the same by cops - and that it happens often - because hey, it's just a friendly discussion.

Perfect examples but even better because no weapons were drawn, unlike in the store.

I was actually critical of the first situation when it happened, but I've seen the light. It's just a friendly conversation.

Agreed, and reposted.

What point? That you're a hypocrite? Then, you're welcome.

You know those two in the video's I'd posted are most likely facing charges for hurting the feelz of the people they'd stopped, and because of that you're acting like it's no big deal that they'd wrongfully stopped those two. Just like you're acting like it's no big deal that the BP had one of his goons cover the store worker with a gun, making the store worker feel unsafe, and the BP had basically admitted that his (drag)"queen" had tried to rob the place. Yeah, you're fine with it as long as it wasn't the thugs being intimidated.


WOW indeed!
