In reply to the discussion: About the guy who walked into JC Penny's with an AR-15 [View all]lolly
(3,248 posts)Absolutely. He is NOT just happening to carry a gun because he just stopped by Gunz R Us and didn't have a shopping bag for it.
He wanted to intimidate and bully people.
People who like to intimidate and terrorize others are not "good" guys. They are the ones who will think it is funny to point the gun at the salesclerk if she won't accept his return. Or at the teenager who doesn't give him the respect he's convinced he deserves.
And a guy who's so paranoid he sleeps with machetes, axes, bayonets, and guns by his bed is not going to be calm and collected in assessing the threat from, say, a young man in a hoodie who accidentally bumps into him in the mall.
I didn't have to see the MySpace page to guess all this--the page just confirmed it. The act itself demonstrates that he's a self-centered bully.
