Police really need to get something better to do. This is one of the dumbest arrests I’ve seen in a while.

If he had actually decided to go and shoot up that walmart and your best friend, brother, child, or mother were inside while he did so, you would be singing a different tune. I wish some people would think before typing.

Your absolutely right sir…this is one of those cases where correlation does not equal causation. I’m surprised they didn’t point out the pistol though, since that was what he was threatening to do..shoot up a place.
