Lurker Mom,

I really think Mr. Pretti was trying to commit suicide by cop. What kind of mentally-ill person gets a rib broken because he is fighting with LEO's and then a week or two later comes back with a loaded gun and two extra magazines of ammo?

Someone who is planning on taking vengeance and opening fire to take as many "Nazis" as he can, with him.

Lord knows how many LEOs he would have killed had his weapon not been confiscated.

To all those who say that the LEOs had already confiscated his gun, I say:

So what?

That's just the weapon they knew about. Meanwhile he's brawling with several LEO's and he's not giving up without a huge fight.

Any false move such as appearing to reach into his belt or pockets could rightfully be viewed as an attempt to draw a weapon. Could be a second gun/back up weapon. Could be a knife. Could be acid that he might throw in someone's face.

If you are going to send out the message "WE WILL ReSiST at AlL Costs and By All MeAns" don't go all pikachu face if the cops take you at your word.
