@RuthSevereWx I think folks just have to understand where they are on a map relative to other major landmarks/cities. I feel like that would alleviate 75% of the questions about "is this going to affect me at ___ location"
I know I have a lot dudes who follow me, so for those it might be helpful to that are struggling, I'd like to share with you some stuff that may be useful below ♥️ please feel free to also share anything that's worked for you or if you need some support from internet strangers.
@patty_guynn @MccourtSho68043 @MtJulietPolice Can't go off of assumption. If you're correct, than I agree that's a possibility. But Can't just blanket statement "try him as an adult" based on the information we have presented in front of us.
@KawttonKandii@patty_guynn Can't charge or arrest someone on assumption. Do I agree that that's a probability he was up to no good? Sure. But that's not something to be charged with much less as an adult.
@patty_guynn The firearm charge is most likely only there due to him being a minor, if you try him as an adult that would defeat the purpose yeah? Because if he was an adult he'd be able to have that firearm on him.
This is Dexter Taylor.
Dexter was arrested in New York for assembling legally-obtained firearms parts, almost 15 years after the Supreme Court ruled that the Second Amendment protects an individual’s right to bear arms.
Dexter is a software engineer, and he loves building things.
A few years ago, he discovered gunsmithing.
“I found out that you can actually legally buy a receiver and you can machine that receiver to completion, and you buy your parts and you put them together and you've got a pistol or a rifle. And once I saw that I was hooked. I was like, ‘This is the coolest thing ever. This is the most cool thing you could possibly do in your machine shop.’”
During this time, the Supreme Court ruled in NY Rifle & Pistol Association v Bruen that New York State's Licensing scheme was unconstitutional.
They also ruled that any restriction on firearms ownership that didn't strictly align with the Second Amendment was unconstitutional.
Based on this, Dexter (who also goes by Carbon Mike) continued to assemble legally-obtained firearms parts, fully confident that he was within his rights to do so.
Unfortunately, the NY state government disagreed.
The ATF and NYPD no-knock raided Dexter's home, breaking down his door and arresting him, and sent him to Rikers Island.
Dexter had no prior criminal history.
He is being charged solely for exercising his fundamental right to bear arms.
Dexter and his attorney, Vinoo Varghese, are fighting the charges, arguing that the laws passed in NY after Bruen are every bit as unconstitutional as the ones that were struck down by Bruen, and that the NY state government is issuing even fewer permits than they did before Bruen.
Dexter is fighting, not just for his rights, but for the right of every person to keep and bear arms, and I stand with him 100%.
If you want to help, go to the link to an article that I've put in the next post in this thread for more details on his case, including his fundraiser for his legal fees.
Keep up the fight, Dexter.
If you're reading this, it means you woke up today and you (probably) have eyes. That means even if yesterday was hard, you still made it to another day ❤️ good job!
DID YOU KNOW. That you could probably use these airbus helicopters for actual crimes instead of sending half of metro and a helicopter (costing thousands of dollars) instead of going after mini bikes and mopeds trying to have a nice Christmas themed Sunday afternoon
DID YOU KNOW that since we started flying our 2 Airbus helicopters earlier this year, they have been involved in 1,398 calls for service, 865 arrests, and the recovery of 324 stolen/carjacked vehicles?...like the one in this video.
