What the heck is going on in Logan County, WV?!


By now you’ve probably heard about Jared Marcum, the 14 year old boy who was arrested for obstructing an officer who was responding a call by Jared’s school, because Jared was wearing an NRA t-shirt.


At the time of the event I’m sure most people, myself included,
thought the arrest would probably be dismissed, however, earlier this
month, prosecutors decided to move forward with the case.


Obviously, charging a 14 year old boy over an incident that started
over a shirt has generated some press coverage. Now prosecutors have
threatened Jared with a gag order, which they only rescinded after Jared
waived his right to privacy (due to the fact that he is a minor),
according to WOWKTV.


WOWKTV has been the local news organization covering this story from
the beginning. The news station tried to intervene in the case, but was
met with resistance and was actually threatened by local authorities.

 

 

Sounds to me like the school didn’t expect all the bad publicity, tried
to escalate things to shut the kid up, and had it backfire. Any bets
that the school official that started this ball rolling down hill and
picking up dirt is related to the cop who arrested the kid? And both
are related to the judge?

Seems the prosecution is doubling down on stupid.

 

I see someone who is going to have plenty of money for college and probably quite a bit more.

My heart agrees with Joe when he expresses disgust about what's going on in WV while my head agrees with Hacker on this one. Although tangentially related to 2A, this is a 1A issue. While a serious example of the left's irrational hatred of anything to do with guns, let's refocus and not stray from the Team SASS primary mission of 2A.

 

Thanks men...

Hmmm....how about a 1st Amendment issue as the 1st relates to the 2nd? Would the kid be in trouble if his shirt had been anything other than gun related? I see it, at least originally, as the continued demonization of guns.
