[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Man selling rifle on Craiglist is robbed (Page 1 of 2)

But as it turns out the robbers are fucking morons, and the seller carries.

As the victim handed over rifle, one suspect took the gun and pointed it back at him. The victim then pulled out a pistol and told the suspect to drop the gun because it was not loaded.

Officers responded and were able to apprehend the three suspects: Edvis Miquem Galloway, 24, Savon Khalif Hardaway, 18, and Kalmeaice Kawanna Williams, 38.

lol

Galloway and Hardaway were among several suspects arrested in August on multiple drug and gun charges after police pulled their vehicle over for not having a tag or working brake lights.

Police searched the car and found a 357 revolver, 25 bags of marijuana each weighing 134 grams, and 2 red bandanas.

Galloway was also involved in a stabbing incident in April of this year

if they were arrested in August with that much drugs and guns, how were they on the street to be re-arrested the next month?

"Galloway and Hardaway were among several suspects arrested in August on multiple drug and gun charges after police pulled their vehicle over for not having a tag or working brake lights."

Well fuck, why are they back on the street. This is why gun laws don't work because they keep putting the shit heads out on bail or getting plea deals/lesser charges.

Seller is an idiot too. I call it like I see it, and if I saw those 3 guys waiting to buy a firearm from me there would be no sale.

Interesting.

An article in the local paper this week suggested that Craigslist sellers and buyers meet in the parking lot of a neighborhood police station.

And yes, the Police made this recommendation. Although I didn't hear about it, or remember, there seems to have been a Craigslist robbery here recently

Just imagine if they were white, they would have only gotten a ticket. At least that is what I have been told by memes on facebook: that if a white person and a black person commit the exact same crime, the white boy will significantly less punishment.

I would bet they were out the next day, it just took them a month to get arrested again.

Wonder what the legal repercussions would have been if he'd just shot them. In the heat of the moment I could see how it would be possible to forget whether the gun you handed them was loaded or unloaded.

My guess: He would be crucified by the media, saying that he gave them the rifle to look at, he shot him and made up the story about them trying to rob him. Anybody that brought up their past would be labeled racist, and thus have anything they say dismissed.

I am surprised that Craigslist did not quickly kill his ad ........

http://www.craigslist.org/about/prohibited

Here is a partial list of goods, services, and content prohibited on craigslist:

* weapons; firearms/guns and components; BB/pellet, stun, and spear guns; etc
* ammunition, clips, cartridges, reloading materials, gunpowder, fireworks, explosives

They've nuked my ads within minutes. My last attempt was to sell an empty surplus ammo can that was heavy for some reason. It got nuked before I could even view the page.

Last rifle I sold was to an Arfcommer, as it should be. I've bought and sold enough other things on Craigslist that I would never want to entertain the idea of a gun sale...

Fail all around, for the seller as well.
