"...But (Jordan) Baylon is playing on borrowed time. In September, Gov. Jerry Brown signed the Imitation Firearms Safety Act, which forbids nearly all types of pellet and BB guns from being shown in public unless they are fashioned in pink, red or another bright color.
Thumpy Covey's insight:
Skims the surface of the debate...as all "big media" seems to do nowadays...but never asks hard questions or gets solid answers from anyone...and they used 3 reporters and the resources of one of the nation's bastions of journalism to get mush to their "audience/readers." You are doing this all wrong, LATIMES...why do I alwys read that "Late to the Times?"

Thumpy Covey's insight:
OH MY GOD! Reporter Patrick Healy is BRANDISHING IN PUBLIC RIGHT IN FRONT OF LAPD Headquarters? HOW IS HE NOT DEAD? More importantly, how is he not UNDER ARREST, as this is an illegal act in the City of Los Angeles?......

"A 15-year-old boy was speaking out Thursday after being mistakenly shot by police in Hyde Park while standing next to a friend who was holding a replica gun. Jamar Nicholson and several friends were..."
Thumpy Covey's insight:
Nice marksmanship, LAPD...we know, don't beat up on the officers, but Chief Charlie Beck's got some serious problems beyond trying to get airsoft guns painted colors. CRAPTASTIC. PLASTIC. It hurts everyone involved...so, why don't we all stand up, California and America?

"The walk to school often took Jamar Nicholson and his friends through an alley off Florence Avenue in South Los Angeles. The teenagers' laughter had become a familiar sound during morning routines, neighbors said...."
Thumpy Covey's insight:
Here we go again, Los Angeles....another AIR STUPID SUPREME...Details at the L.A. Times, such as they are, couched in LAPD inuendo and plenty of skeptical "reporting." Doesn't change the facts.

"...While it is certainly a real tragedy when any child is injured or killed because a police officer mistook a toy gun for a real gun, the burden of responsibility should not remain, solely, on officers and/or individuals who seek to defend themselves against imminent danger or death. Parents should know the huge safety risks involved before investing in toy guns for their children and those children should not be allowed to roam the streets carrying them...."
Thumpy Covey's insight:
Although not "real news," this article on City Watch LA's site is an op-ed whose writer has clearly done her homework...and a great "read this" pointer for folks who want to get up-to-speed on the LA./Cali/US Senate Bill situation in a hurry. And, the quote above? We could NOT AGREE MORE!

"Thursday evening, Jamar Nicholson told KCAL9's Laurie Perez that he never saw any gun, replica or not...."
Thumpy Covey's insight:
Hear from the shooting victim himself...and listen carefully to the young man's back-story, too....

Thumpy Covey's insight:
TWO Incidents!...including that dramatic Officer Involved Shooting that ended a high-speed multi-carjacking chase earlier in the week...both will put new pressure on California's airsoft scene. As far as we can tell, the serious airsoft community/business is NOT where these Craptastic Plastic guns are coming from...from the quality, these are slightly better than the plastic "toy" guns you get from a dollar-store....so, why not go after the REAL source of your issues...and let responsible ADULTS and businesses help!

"LAPD held a news conference on Thursday to remind the public about the dangers of replica guns, revealing that a teen was shot in the back earlier this week in another fake gun incident...."
Thumpy Covey's insight:
More on this week's incidents...yea, more than one! And the CRAPTASTIC PLASTIC gunS that nearly led to another tragic LAPD officer-involved shooting...and wait until you hear the P.D. description!
