Stormtrooper Arrested

The principal saw his fake blaster and called 911. The man was then arrested and charged with disturbing a school and loitering. A police spokesman said the man "used bad judgment." I guess this shows you what not to do when geeking out on Star Wars.

    Would you be able to be sure the black gun shaped thing was a toy from that distance?

    Guns. Aren't. Fucking. Illegal.

    So tired of light-loafered nanny-statists piddling themselves at the mere sight of a firearm. Go live in North Korea.
