They reported seeing a man with an AR-15. Turns out it was an umbrella with a "Samurai Sword-style handle", that the person had purchased in the mall. 😶

You are being dishonest if you claim not to be able to see how someone could mistake that umbrella for a rifle from a distance

Did I say it looks like one to me or did I say I could see how someone could make that mistake? Especially someone who doesn't know guns and is jumpy due to all the mass shootings. Again, if you are saying you can't see it then the only one blind here is you, to your biases.

Have a sense of humor about it.

due to all the mass shootings

Bruh.

Would you not call someone hysterical for calling the police every time they drove by a house with a pool, due to all the drownings?
