Man With AR-15-Style Rifle By Bus Stop Says He Wasn’t Out to Terrify Kids
20th May 2023
The man stood in a red Make America Great Again baseball cap pointing his AR-15-style semiautomatic rifle toward the sidewalk.
An elementary school student ran home crying. Parents were terrified. Neighbors called the police. While he had not explicitly threatened people in this suburban neighborhood, just the sight of him walking near school bus stops was enough for the nearby elementary school in Anne Arundel County to delay bus drop off this week.
Ann Arundel County is in Maryland, a blue state. Further adventures in the pussification of blue-state America. In Texas, the kids would have been gathered around: “Hey, mister! Show us your gun!” And they would have been asking questions about it until the bus came.
