These were also my first thoughts. If he wasn’t threatening anyone I don’t see why anybody cared. Mall security was clearly having a slow day

One of the security guards is the mall managers son. Even purchased his own little security hat and gear. He takes his job very seriously

My first thought: how very South Burlington of them getting all antsy over a dude buying stuff at a mall.

😂Well now ya DOOOOOOO ya SHIT.

If you ask a criminal lawyer, like I did out of curiosity, then they may violate the blade laws in your area if the sharpened edge is longer than, or in violation of what the law allows.
But typically nothing will happen unless someone is wielding it as a weapon menacingly or just being incredibly stupid with it, or if people are in fear of their well-being or safety.
My specific question i asked was if I could wear a full set of medieval knight armor and sword to work on casual friday. Could i take public transportation.
willowbeest t1_iwrhk77 wrote
Fascinating! Thanks for the insight. Hopefully the store in the mall isn't selling illegally-long sharpened-edge items!
_Could_ you wear your full armor on public transportation? Now I'm curious!

Yes, but they can refuse you service for concerns about the safety of other passengers.

Poor guy just wanted to buy swords at the mall and hang them up on his bedroom wall at his parents house and now everyone knows he's a loser.

Hey, those swords brought that guy some happiness, people buy all kinds of useless crap like bibles and the 10^16 pillows for a couch or a cat and no one gives them shit

Love it.
Imagine if you wrote that on r/alabama ?

LOL It's reddit pretty much the same demo no matter what state. They would love you and give you some free internet points. Not quite the burn you think it is.

Stop pretending to be a Vermonter. It’s a birth right. Not an address

I wasn't born in Alabama either, you dipshit. Seems like regional identity maybe isn't dependant on where your mom squeezed you out.
Your attitude is not welcome in this state.
Vermonter623 t1_ix4ltxy wrote
Haha that’s cute. Clearly your father never had the ‘don’t tell a man what to do on his own house’ talk with you
Goldentongue t1_ix4m0tx wrote
This isn't your house, bud. Also, that's not a normal conversation dads have to have with kids. Sounds like you've just been oblivious on how to interact with other humans since you were child.

Here's a sneak peek of /r/Alabama using the top posts of the year!
#1: Alabama's parole board shot down every single case yesterday, denying relief to all 28 eligible people including this man, after he's served 12 of a 20-year sentence for marijuana possession and distribution. He's at a minimum security work center where they work him for $2 a day | 265 comments
#2: Alabama is a hidden gem of beauty in this country. (Gallery) | 161 comments
#3: This meme has more reproductive rights | 193 comments

Quality WCAX reporting here. Especially the photo of the man apparently taken with the same camera used to capture all images of ghosts and bigfoot.
milsurpfarts t1_iwsdzvh wrote
It’s because all of of the cameras in the U Mall are from 1997

You're right, out of all the ridiculously stupid parts of this stupid story, doxxing this kid for no reason is really dirty on the part of PD and WCAX.

When they switch from the anime style back to the regular version and it's just Butters with a ninja star in his eye....I don't know if I've ever laughed harder at a TV show.

What else is the U-Mall for if not for socially awkward young adults to spend excessive amounts of money on cosplay accessories? They should rebrand it “Dungeons and Dragons and Beyond”

Put another way: if the cops told me they were looking for a young guy wielding swords I’d say “have you checked the University Mall”?

Called in by the same type of people who call in a person walking down the street with a rifle.

Corey307 t1_iwsgwgy wrote
Who cares? Open carry of firearms is legal in Vermont who cares if some kid bought some swords?
willowbeest t1_iwr5bat wrote
Honestly, this was my first thought: He probably bought them there.
Second thought: why is this news? It's not illegal to have any of those things, so why are the police involved? If he's a person of interest for some other reason, then maybe let's just say that.
