A man who claims to be on a Second Amendment mission to educate others about gun rights, caused panic in Vancouver, Washington, at a family fun center while carrying a semi-automatic rifle. A business went on lockdown, parents grabbed their children and ran inside, and still he refused to leave while ‘educating’ others by carrying his rifle on private property. Again, it’s a family fun center, meaning kids are all over the vicinity.
Mark Worley said, “I was breaking no law and I was arrested for trespassing on a public sidewalk. Whether or not you agree with open carry of a firearm or not, it’s not illegal.”
But police disagree.Worley was arrested Saturday night in Southeast Vancouver. Police said he crossed the line when he decided to openly carry his gun on private property, KATU reports.
Police said he first went to a restaurant with a rifle slung over his shoulder which prompted an employee to promptly call 911. When the police arrived Worley had walked to a fireworks stand in Big Al’s parking lot, according to KATU. When employees became concerned over Worley’s intentions, they closed the stand and the business went on lockdown.
Parents panicked and grabbed their children, running into the restaurant while police officers swarmed around Worley, who then refused to leave.
Yeah how unreasonable is it that parents would be frightened for the safety of their children at the sight of a man armed with a semi-automatic rifle?
And for the police to respond to those concerns?
What kind of country do we live in?
This guy, and others who do this kind of things, are idiots. And in my opinion just the fact that you do not recognize this as an act of terrorism should immediately strip you of your 2nd Amendment rights.(And yes it IS terrorism:1. systematic use of violence and intimidation to achieve some goal
2. the act of terrorizing
3. the state of being terrorized.)
Because doing this demonstrates that you are too lacking in intelligence to be allowed access to weapons of any kind.
Hell I wouldn't let this dipshit have pointy scissors.
I guess he thought if he was dressed like a conservative businessman, no one would be upset with his decision to carry a rifle to a family fun center. What an idiot! These are the NRA types that are even scarier than the stereotypical NRA nut like Ted Nugent since they look so "normal", ie: mainstream business casual. I guess he didn't need a concealed carry permit since the rifle was out in the open. We are NOT the wild, wild west and we do not need fully armed citizens strolling around the neighborhood fast food joint, fireworks stand, and kiddies fun center. What a sad way to show his manhood.
ReplyDeleteWell... looks like somebody has an itty bitty penis and needed to compensate by slinging his firearm around.
ReplyDeleteHow manly! I bet all the ladies were simply swooning.
That idiot wasn't on public property as he claimed, that parking lot is private parking and any town, city or village can make their own laws as far as carrying. He did this to make a scene and I, for one, am glad he was arrested.
ReplyDeleteThe bottom line is Hate Radio has created a false narrative paranoia about 2nd Amendment gun rights since President Obama was elected in 2008. It is an act of terrorism to create this sick dog whistle that signals the innate racism of many of its listeners. Simply ask anyone of these idiots why they put little yellow ribbons on their cars rather than opposing the Patriot Act when Bush was president.
ReplyDeleteO/T -- The New York Times has another article today showing that the IRS
ReplyDelete"scandal" was anything but --- all sorts of activist groups were flagged for further review: progressives, occupy _______, others. There was no concerted investigation of tea party groups, any more than there was for a wide variety of groups who might try to take tax exemptions while promoting political aims.
The Fox/Issa narrative finally has been blown out of the water. It will be interesting to see when, if ever, Palin and her gang apologize for jumping to conclusions, and issue an apology for their false rabble-rousing.
Anytime that's convenient for you, Sarah.
There not only will be no apologies, there will be no mention of the info in the above article. Faux News viewers won't even know the scandal has been debunked because that's the only place they get their "news."
DeleteFox can't even get the story right about their own employees. They just ran a story about the Senate race in AK and said this about Palin:
Delete"She hasn’t run for elected office since resigning as Alaska governor to become the 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee"
What?!?! And just HOW did she resign in 2009 in order to run for VP in 2008? They lie even when they don't have to!
The police could have shot him first, asked questions later.
ReplyDeleteOr all it would have taken was one OTHER armed second amendment freak to shoot him.
Why does he need to carry that obscene thing around with him? Did he think he might stop a "bad guy" or something?
ReplyDeleteAnd how are the rest of us supposed to know who the bad guys are anymore if everyone walked around with rifles slung over their shoulders? Maybe the bad guy is the one making a suspicious move in a crowd? Will all those open carry guys then open fire at once on him/her?
Yikes. Idiots.
Why does he need to carry that obscene thing around with him?
Delete--------
He is desperately compensating for his inadequate male reproductive organs.
The guy is lucky no other 2nd amendment nut didn't open fire on him.
DeleteWell, you know, those family fun centers can be training grounds for itty bitty, teeny tiny little terrorists!
DeleteYou just never know who might be jumping out of that ball pit!
probably looking for kids carrying Skittles
DeleteI wonder how Worley would feel if some Bloods and some Crips decided to demonstrate their second amendment rights out in front of his house?
ReplyDeleteand:
Mr. Worley is really lucky that none of those private property owners didn't decide to "stand their ground" against an armed trespasser.
Excellent!
DeleteWouldn't that have been ironic if another open carry nut took him out thinking he was about to go on a rampage.
DeleteWhen will this insanity end?
What if a Muslim American wore a gun slung over his shoulder and walked around his block?
Delete1:33pm, I'm afraid that your scenario could be the future in this country.
Wasn't there a story recently about a group of these yahoos marching - with weapons - outside the home of some legislator who was supporting gun control laws? I tried to google it but don't remember enough information.
Deletewhat a fucking little idiot..he sounds like he was raised by "don't retreat, reload" 1/2 witted palin.
ReplyDeleteAnd remember how she egged on the crowds while running for VP. Her behavior has yet to improve. She let loose with some serious ugliness in our country.
DeleteI live across the river in Portland. This wasn't even broadcast on local stations here, and Vancouver HAS no television stations. Did this idiot think that, after Boston, Sandy Hook, Denver, our own Clackamas Town Center, ad nauseum, people would not freak? What the hell is WRONG with these goons, and that bitch Palin eggs 'em on all the way to the bank.
ReplyDelete"What kind of country do we live in?"
ReplyDeleteFOX nation - where Sarah Palin quit as governor in 2009 to run as the 2008 vice-presidential candidate......
they are so stupid, it shows AND it hurts.
I have only one thing to say...small penis.

Part of that article is ridiculous. Refusing to allow the police to check his weapon is NOT covered under the Fourth Amendment. The police absolutely DO have the right to stop and frisk, for their own safety as well as for the citizens nearby.
The guy had -- in plain sight -- something that does not fit the occasion. A rifle to buy fireworks??? Obviously, that made enough people suspicious that one or more of them alerted the police.
I don't have time to dissect the rest of the article. And, won't bother since it's written from such a strong bias that it's written poorly.

Once again proving you are not a Conservative by taking side against our God Given Second Amendment Right, just as you did in the Sheriff Fitch case in Florida, when he was rail roaded and completely within his rights to drop the case and expunge the record.
No Conservative in the United States of America...None, would immediately and repeatedly look for excuses to take sides against either someone defending their Second Amendment Rights or someone such as Sheriff Fitch who sided with the Constitution and dropped charges against someone for carrying but you have. As i mentioned to you at that time you really telegraphed what a pretender you are by doing that. Our God Given Second Amendment Right is Sacrosanct and inviolate among Americans. The fact that you have repeatedly gone after people trying to defend it on several occasions is a HUGE Tell!Conservatives!

Attack arguments and ideas, not people.
Either discuss the points I made and prove them by quoting appropriate laws, or concede that the police do have the right to stop and search.
mark1955
Your lying and deliberate mischaracterization about my comments are clear enough for people to see your deception. But then again your a lefty and lying comes with the territory. Your trying to change the subject from you being a lefty poser who has repeatedly taken an Anti-Second amendment position proving your a lefty poser. And As you and everyone who read my comments knows, i said the police have the right to stop and check this person out, but they do not have the right to arrest him for legal activities and confiscate his legally owned firearms. Now lets get back to you being a LEFTY!

Attack arguments and ideas, not people.
C4P's moderators have asked us over and over to discuss issues -- not to attack people or to postulate about their motivations. That's the level of decorum that keeps this site going in a positive direction where we can actually talk about facts and topics instead of dissolving into insults.
mark1955 is a liberal (or libertarian, I forget which) troll. I don't know why they haven't noticed and banned him. He purposefully stirs up the crowd with over-zealous "Conservative" points. Anyway, his commenting is usually a hoot, because he gets those Sea of Pee people's knickers in a wad, presents himself as the "ideal" conservative, then bows out of the conversation.
DeleteThe tip that mark1955 is a liberal (or libertarian) troll changes everyhthing.
DeleteIf you have to advertise the fact that you're carrying a gun, you're the kind of person who shouldn't be allowed to carry one.
ReplyDeleteIvyfree
Thing is. . .we don't know if he's a "good guy" with a gun. We don't know if he means no harm. We don't know if he's planned out a mass shooting to get back at his mother or impress Jodie Foster. We just don't know.
ReplyDeleteThis fucker deserves to have his weapons taken away, and serve time for menacing the public.
Especially since he was seen outside of a place that specifically provides a service to families with small children.
DeleteAren't these the same people who screamed that if the staff at Sandy Hook ES were armed, Lanza would never have killed any children? How does anyone know he was not intending to massacre those families?
"...our God Given Second Amendment Right..."
ReplyDeletethus proving "God" is as insane as they are are.
"Our God Given Second Amendment Right is Sacrosanct"
DeleteSad priorities in his life.
"Hell I wouldn't let this dipshit have pointy scissors."
ReplyDeleteI would. He'd win a Darwin Award for sure.
Hello. More of the same. Because stupid.

Well now THAT there is RESPONSIBLE gun ownership. Why not hand it to a toddler to mind while you sleep off that six-pack?
DeleteFools.
He's an outright terrorist, terrorizing these family people with his small penis.
ReplyDeleteWhat got me laughing is this clown saying he's trying to "educate" people about the gun carrying laws... meanders to a family fun center, then a fireworks vender... a gun and a tent full of explosives in close proximity to a family "fun center"? What could possibly go wrong?
ReplyDeleteI agree with the scissors, but what happens when he starts shaving?
