How do you know he's never flashed a weapon or carried a bat/stick? Are you with him 24/7? Or is "he" you? If you're assuming this because you were told by him, then that's just his side of the story. He could be blowing smoke up your backside to get another person "on his side". Other than that, everything you claim as truth is merely speculation, not fact, until proven otherwise.
Well let's do this then, To be kind, and truthful, I have say, I've seen him with a baseball bat, He likes to play baseball, so in playing ball I guess, yes I've seen him with a baseball bat, but not walking through town to be crystal clear. I have to say this too, to answer your snide question, Yes I've seen him with sticks in his hands. He cuts firewood and cuts trees etc, so yes I've seen him with a stick in his hand... but not walking thru town. Hell I've seen him with a chain saw in his hand too, and an ink pen, pop can, wrench, hammer... the list goes on and on.
Now, the town is a very small place, there have been incidents where he has actually been attacked ( sheriffs reports have been filed ) physically...... and he not once displayed his weapon nor had drawn it. There are a lot of people In the community that know him and know he hasn't drawn, or displayed. Unless you want to consider open carry display. Understand that he's not looking for anyone to be " on his side " He's a big boy, he could really care less, besides the fact he knows where he's at, and by the way that's simply childish and even for you to state. I have to tell you that I've had conversations with him and he scoffs when it's mentioned getting fellow Nebraskan to wake up and stand. In Nebraska? Not everyone cares if there's many on their sides or not. This is one. If one is within the boundaries of the law, and maintains that position, who gives a rats tail how many are on his side? He isn't here to please you, or anyone. He'll tell you that too. He'll be kind until it's time NOT to be kind. Like most normal people.
There was one incident where a local, in his late 30's was standing across the street from Mr. L. cussing and throwing rocks in his direction. He ( Mr. L ) was armed, open carry. He was dodging flying rocks, and not once reached for his weapon. I believe a sheriffs report was filed and there were witnesses.
Interestingly enough this rock thrower was a local, who was going to criminal justice school and had a big head because he wanted to be a State Patrolman..... yuk yuk... He didn't like Mr. L's presence because he was..... an outsider. He drives a concrete truck last time seen, the LE profession went on the wayside, he moved and divorced..... again. The LE profession needs professionals, with dignity and dedication with the ability to utilize common rational thought process. Who want to live up to the " Protect and to Serve " moto. Throwing rocks at an armed man..... and he want's to be a cop? Now that's rich..... LMAO...
Many of us know the guy, Mr. L, and he's nothing like the picture that's painted. Just to make myself crystal clear.... so you can rest assured, what I'm telling you is FACT not speculation.
Oh by the way " To Protect and To Serve " you do know that's out the window don't you? The job is NOT to protect and to serve anymore...... Warren v. District of Columbia, 444 A.2d 1 (D.C. Ct. of Ap., 1981)
Maybe this is a contributing factor as to why we don't see " To Protect and to Serve " on cop car's today?
