BLOOMFIELD TOWNSHIP, Mich. - A jury has found an 18-year-old man not guilty of a crime for carrying a loaded M-1 rifle as he walked through the downtown of an affluent Detroit suburb. Birmingham police arrested Sean Combs on April 13th. A district court jury in Oakland County's Bloomfield Township got the case Wednesday and reached a verdict Thursday. Judge Marc Barron threw out a charge of resisting and obstructing police before deliberations started. The jurors then found Combs not guilty of brandishing a firearm and disturbing the peace. WWJ-AM reported that after the verdict, Combs said he considers carrying a rifle in public as part of his "freedom of speech and expression." Earlier, city attorney Mary Kacharik told jurors that Combs was "showing off," "liked the attention" and "wanted to shock people."

Detroit = Mogadishu It was loaded, proving that he wasn't "showing off", and has good sense.
Obama's watch stopped on 24 May 2008, but he's been too busy smoking crack to notice.
If it weren't for the age and the fact that it didn't happen in the tonier NYC beach front retreats,I'd think this was Piddly Diddly. Regardless of his actual identity,he was clearly the safest citizen walking down any of Detroit's streets that day. A man with a loaded Garand is pretty much the master of his own destiny no matter what street he is walking down.

Har. Does the defendant have the ability to get his expenses paid for this frivolous arrest?
Excellent. Nothing like the 2nd Amendment being affirmed by "commoners" like us... and thumbing their noses at the elitist shit-bags, who claim the monopoly power of violence on their fellow-Americans. Just think, Baghdad Bri-bri... one day in the not-too-distant future, someone like this kid may end up saving your worthless life... because he believes in the sanctity of God-given rights, rather than the pathetic restrictions made by vain men, such as yourself. You should be so lucky!
"Most people prefer to believe that their leaders are just and fair, even in the face of evidence to the contrary, because once a citizen acknowledges that the government under which he lives is lying and corrupt, the citizen has to choose what he or she will do about it. To take action in the face of corrupt government entails risks of harm to life and loved ones. To choose to do nothing is to surrender one's self-image of standing for principles. Most people do not have the courage to face that choice. Hence, most propaganda is not designed to fool the critical thinker but only to give moral cowards an excuse not to think at all."
