pipedreams Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Good reason to be careful what you say in public even when you think no one is listening. "A Korean War veteran who has served in some capacity with local law enforcement for a span of six decades had his firearms confiscated and was relieved of his duties as an elementary school crossing guard last month, after a waitress overheard what she perceived to be a "threat" in a passing conversation at a coffee shop. Stephen Nichols, 84, of Tisbury, Massachusetts, was never charged with a crime, and was reinstated to his post at the crosswalk of Tisbury School on Tuesday following public outcry. But his guns are still to be sold.

holyjohnson Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 i cannot for the life of me understand how that is somehow not Slander or Libel to do that.at the very least filing a false Police Report should be charged at the worst its a violation of his 1st and 4th Amendment rights. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huski92 Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Why is he being forced to sell his guns. He committed no crime. He shouldn’t of let them into his home. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tadbart Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 This will end poorly. Maybe not for this old Veteran, but one of these days, they're gonna pull this **** on someone who draws the line in the sand, and Uncle Sugar will attempt to cross that line. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't that already happen in Maryland? I believe the guy there drew the line and the gestapo shot across the line to kill him at zero dark thirty in the morning. https://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/constitution/item/30567-law-abiding-gun-owner-killed-during-red-flag-confiscation-raid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who among us couldn't imagine some disagreement with a family member winding up like this, if they got spiteful? I recently had a Paramedic friend get baker acted after she served her Firefighter husband with divorce papers. He called his buds at the PD and stated that she said she was going to kill herself. 2 days in a mental health ward, guns taken while she was gone, CCW permit *poof* and she has to answer yes to one of the NO questions on the gun purchase form. We've all heard of teenagers "Swatting" other teenagers, sometimes over something stupid like a video game. My main concern with these type instances is that the law allows for an overstepping of Due Process, and we all know it is impossible to un-ring a bell. Like that man in Maryland, each individual must answer for themselves how they would react to such an overstepping. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same reason no charges were filed against the 911 caller that resulted in Tamir Rice being murdered by a psycho cop. Giving misinformation to cops on accident is not a crime, but on purpose it is. As far as slander and libel goes, I'm pretty sure those aren't crimes unless done to government officials that results in them being fired. For normal civilians the only thing you can do for slander and libel is file a civil suit which is extremely easy to win. There are people on the net who have become rich from making a career out of baiting people on the internet to slander them and then taking them to court, I swear if I was a disgusting litigious person, I'd be a very rich man from all the slander I've had to endure in my 18 years on the net.
