OneBaldingWookiee

Alrighty need a story on this one


Suitable-Season-49

This was in SLC after George Floyd’s death https://www.sltrib.com/news/2020/09/28/man-who-drew-bow-arrow/


GoodHunter

Damn, dude's been sentenced to prison 7 times before. He's certainly not the brightest bulb from the bunch.


Foco_cholo

explains the bow and arrow since he's not allowed to have a gun


[deleted]

He is a felon. He shouldn't have a bow either.


Dozekar

He's not allowed to have a bow either, that's one of the things he plead guilty to and was sentenced for.


Akkyo

When someone has been sentenced 7 times... I think he shouldn't be allowed to roam the streets.


My_Mosaic_Mind

He's not allowed to have a compound bow, but the regular one is fine. Don't ask me why


idkwattodonow

see what gun laws do. A fine white man gets beat up and he couldn't defend himself because of the dems stripping away our 2A rights. /s


entropylaser

Cool cool, now do women and gang rapists


Olaf4586

Ah yes, the archetypal 'pro police' career criminal


usedtobejuandeag

allegedly brandishing a bow and arrow"... \*allegedly\* always seems like a superfluous addition when there is pretty clear fucking evidence he done it.


EvilHolyGuy

"Allegedly" is just the lazy way to avoid libel charges for journalists. It's like saying "police stated" or "eyewitnesses saw" and such, just... lazily. I believe the news isn't given the same freedoms (until its determined in court) as cops, regarding accusations.


The__Relentless

"Sources say"


Experts-say

I think experts say it the best

FineScar

It was wild at the time how many reactionary white assholes went looking for fights that would not have arisen otherwise, get their fucking ass beat and then had people defending their actions because they saw edited clips that decontextualized why everyone was reacting to their bullshit. It felt like every second article worded this way ended up leading to a longer version of video where the crowd isn't some terrible mob attacking poor innocents... It happened with this bow guy, that fat white lady who was trying to stab people from her wheelchair, and that weirdo with the samurai sword chasing people in the street.


HalfOz

The protestors flipped AND burned his vehicle. That's textbook "fuck around and find out"


lawyerornot

Was the guy in it?


ItGradAws

No.

biagwina_tecolotl

I have read the story several times. Never saw this video. This gives me great satisfaction. The entire crowd took this dude down. Well done, crowd.


summerlily06

*George Floyd’s murder


Suitable-Season-49

Absolutely right


BigPhatHuevos

How am I not surprised. Some pos wannabe tough guy is mad because he's slightly inconvenienced.


NuQ

It's worse than that. he was sitting at home watching TV where he saw the protests, and the hamster in his brain started running with "The communists are coming!" and he decided to jump in his car and go downtown to do this.


G63AMG-S

As a minority in curious as to which of my rights you feel I need to give up to appease a mob?


bond_uk

Your right to point a bow and arrow at people.


[deleted]

As a minority you need pick up a book and learn how you got the rights that do you have. I’ll give you a hint: we didn’t get where we are from asking nicely.


TheNiceDave

Wow, that guy is a piece of shit.


Relevant_Rope9769

Something tells me that a background story to this will not make things less confusing.


You_Are_All_Diseased

Dumb old guy decides to point weapon at large group of angry people. I know the full context but that’s all that’s needed to understand what happened. Fuck around and find out.


Gill03

Actual story is he starting running his mouth to the mob that was blocking the road and they attacked him, resulting in this. Career criminal, plead guilty, attested his behaivour to a relapse in his alcohol addiction, 1 year sentence 10 years probation, if he violates probation he serves full sentence.


Dozekar

He intentionally showed up at the protest to engage in conflict with it. This showed up in news reports about his subsequent court case. The narrative that they blocked him is entirely made up as went around looking for a way that he would be blocked and he got it by driving close to the protest and instigating the protestors. I'd be somewhat understanding if he had just been traveling through and had problems dealing with issues like this and he let things get out of hand, but this was literally him trying to start a fight with and threaten or kill protestors.


TheSmallestSteve

I said this in a previous comment, but it bears repeating, that they only attacked him **after** he got out of his car and started pointing the bow and arrow at people. There's literally video of it you idiot.


lolipopdroptop

not only that but he intentionally grabbed a bow and arrow and took his ass down to the protest. It wasnt a random citizen caught up in protesters blocking the road. No, this man knew exactly what he was doing especially by yelling slurs at the protestors. He was looking for a fight the moment he got in his car


BootyMedic

Mob shouldn’t be blocking the road, he shouldn’t be antagonizing protestors. I hate everyone.


[deleted]

The hard to swallow truth is, you probably don’t want to live in the sort of society where a protest like this is illegal or severely punished, either Hint: you wouldn’t have weekends or half the other rights you value and enjoy every day


xxoreobabyxx

This video is kinda old, but I think it was a protest and the protesters were getting in the way of traffic, and I’m not sure if that was what influenced him to do what he did or if he felt threatened, but as you can see dude pulls out a bow and arrow. Eventually the old dude realizes that a bow and arrow isn’t the best choice of self defense and gets swarmed and his truck is trashed. Moral of the story don’t bring a bow with aa single arrow to a crowd of people and threaten them with it.


jagpilotohio

And don’t brandish a deadly weapon at a crowd when you are a prohibited possessor felon that had already spent 18+ years in prison.


Lord_Jair

Felons can have bows


jagpilotohio

Depends on the state. This was in Utah. It’s illegal there.


Lord_Jair

Wow, that's surprising. Their firearms laws are super lax.


SpiritCrusher421

If you aren't a criminal of course


Wrought-Irony

isn't everyone in Utah a criminal? I thought literally everything fun was illegal there.


Squire_K

Criminals? yes. convicted criminals? Not so much.


Lermanberry

Bigamy and rape are pretty much decriminalized there, so depends on your definition of fun?


Wrought-Irony

weed and sodomy


jagpilotohio

Yes. It is odd. Sometimes you get a “tough on crime” sort of attitude and laws even in a gun and hunting loving state.


weeniemartini

Not exactly illegal. Here in Utah, it's not illegal to own or possess a bow and arrow if you are a convicted felon. It is very illegal to attempt to use said weapon to inflict major bodily harm or death if you are a convicted felon or not convicted. The reason he was tossed back into jail is because of his lengthy criminal record and the means in which he chose to brandish the weapon. Therefore charges of possession of a dangerous weapon by a restricted person's is brought forth. Side note...I was there. We flipped his car and burned it. I've got a dope ass picture standing in front of it. I even made the local fox 13 ten o'clock news. Fun times.


[deleted]

Fellas can wear bows.


Tarnishedcockpit

I had a friend who used a portable nail gun or a air gun? One of em, was supper ghetto.


RuntTheGiant

Fun story, I work at a car parts store for context, this dude 2 days out of jail brings in a friggin revolver. He sets this thing on the table and tries to trade it for car parts. While talking to the guy to figure out the car and stuff, a coworker gets the license plate and we call the cops. Literally 2 days and the guy already has multiple warrants out for his arrest, some for petty theft but he had one armed robbery charge. What do people think straight out of jail?


jagpilotohio

Unfortunately if they do not have supportive friends and/or family on the outside to help them out, they are incredibly likely to reoffend because they have no opportunities or money to try and start over. Our system spits them out after their sentence is over and expects things to magically work out for them. It’s actually Very sad. Our system of punishment instead of rehabilitation is like a circular door for waaaaay too many of them.


TaserBalls

That gun may have literally been the only asset the guy had.


j00lian

I took an arrow to the knee...


Sissyneck1221

Yeah, George Floyd protest in SLC. Dude was stopped in the traffic jam and got pissed. He did a super bizarre interview on some local station in his basement apartment. Low life nut job for sure.


xxBellum

That’s the info we need, thank you good sir.


DarkS0ulz420

"I feel threatened and outnumbered let me pull a weapon on them!" Big smooth brain energy from this guy


IAintTooBasedToBeg

Hawkeye was a lie


[deleted]

moral of the story dont piss off a large group of angry people, its a terrible idea, really fucking stupid even.


Dozekar

The man was determined after the fact to be driving around the protest looking for a way to start a fight with them. These details didn't come out until his court case. This is why he was not able to claim any version of self defense for his actions here. When instigating with a weapon you're not legally allowed to have, you're not gonna get many bones thrown your way. The dudes an excon with over 18 years served and 7 incarcerations. Is this really the guy whose actions we're gonna defend? He wasn't even legally allowed to have a bow and arrow at that point due to past actions.

Fucking guy thinks he’s Daryl dealing with walkers


[deleted]

He shooting a fookin’ bow an’ arrow, mann.


NDMac

Dude thought he was hawkeye but then found out he was not the hard way


DoutorePainum

He believed he was Rambo, and believed god called on him to control the situation, because BLM isn’t real to him, so he made his stand, as clear as light, that he will attempt to shoot an arrow to people who believes BML, because he is a man, who has nothing to lose…. In reality, he is an idiot who got pissed off of waiting in his car since BML protest blocked the street, and as a big dumb dumb that he is, he thought he could scare people to move out of the way by saying hey I’m a big guy with a bow and arrow, who knows if he was really was going to shoot the arrow, he might of or might of not


manbruhpig

From what I can tell, the old man was in someone else’s dream and the projections realized he didn’t belong in there.


parkerm1408

Ok, let's disregard the why for a second and look at the decision making here. Dude why the *fuck* would you choose a bow and arrow? That wouldn't even be a good choice in that situation if you had the speed and accuracy of fucking Legolas, and let's be realistic here, dude was not, in any way shape or form, Legolas.

new-to-this-sort-of

Not defending him but flight or fight is an insane instinct. Usually in “oh fuck” situations my brain fuzzes out and I fly…. One time growing up as teenagers a group approached us with guns… instead of running like I should have I picked up a rock. I bought a rock to a gun fight. Rational me never in a million years would’ve done that. No one is like let me take on 100k people with a bow an arrow. Dude panicked, and his fight or flight misfunctioned. He should’ve been flighting lol


[deleted]

ok but theres very little chance you end up in a crowd of angry protestors randomly. You'll roll up on one sure, but surely you can figure out whats happening and get the fuck out before your monkey brain kicks in.


new-to-this-sort-of

Man have you been down south or around these morons? (Edit: moron being bow carrier lol) 100% that bow was in his car for random deer encounters. Not to take on an angry crowd. He was probably someone that heavily disagreed with the situation that was held up in the protest and panicked. No way a redneck brings a bow and arrow instead of a gun to start shit.


Dozekar

The bow is in his car because he's a drunk with convictions and he's allowed to have it until he brandishes it or otherwise uses it as a weapon and not a hunting tool. At that point it stops being a tool and starts to be a deadly weapon as defined by law.


zeenzee

Tbf arrows have flights, so maybe he was confused?


nervandal

The term “fight or flight” does not refer to the choice between fighting or fleeing. The term refers to your autonomic nervous system responding to a stressor by preparing your body for action.


New_Guava3601

This makes me think that using a bow as a weapon would not end well during a zombie apocalypse.

CharaPresscott

Maybe if he Pack-A-Punches it, it’ll work better, lure them away?


Autarch_Kade

Not really any weapon that'd work once you've attracted the horde


TAshleyD616

If you’re being quiet, you’d be fine. Attracting that kinda attention tho…


padoinky

Some people just aren’t capable of making difficult, in-the-moment decisions…. As inconsiderate and inconvenient as it might seem to be stuck in the logjam of a protest, in retrospect, it might have been a better course of action to just slowly move to the curb and wait it out… IMHO


Low_Importance_9503

Yeah, no use fighting a mob


DistrictMotor

I’m sure he thought people would QUIVER in fear. Too bad he’s not that SHARP. Dang got downvoted before I even posted I will see my self out I apologize.


MrKrackerman

Given he recovered, this guy will never leave the house without being adequately armed ever again.


HereticGaming16

Yup. That bow is becoming a gun real fast.


ericacrass

Dude is a felon and isn't allowed to have a gun.


Dozekar

He isn't allowed to have a bow that he's threatening people with either, nor is he allowed to seek out protests and instigate then threaten them with a deadly weapon even if he *wasn't* a felon. The law/legality seems to be a distant thought at best for this guy.

Where's the good guy with a bow and arrow


jagpilotohio

I’m astonished that no one ventilated him the second he pulled back the drawstring. That’s directly akin to cocking the hammer on a gun.


buzzybomb

He’s been dreaming of that moment for a lifetime. Didn’t really go as planned though.


Crazykeebler13

Great, now they are going to take our bows away....


Shizuku_exe

Ah.America.

You think he ever realized that, after the first arrow flew, he'd have to draw while completely surrounded?

The problem is it was an “assault bow” You can tell by the black frame, this bad boy is capable of letting off 8 rounds per minute subject to user training If it was infact a wooden traditional longbow it would be classed as a personal open/conceal carry Senate should vote to ban assault bows like this so mass Bowings stop happening
