Man Says He Will "Go Columbine," Then Kicks Transient

Kicking people when they're down? Must be a republican.

Are you the same intern who posted about the butter fight?

Also, I wonder how much you can threaten a shooting spree in front of a cop without being arrested. Apparently quite a lot.

Okay, so the second suspect was arrested for assault, encouraging the first suspect and "doing nothing to stop the assault."

The security guys at Westlake Station did nothing to stop an assault, and that's okay. (??)

@3: I suspect that the second suspect's arrest had more to do with the first accusation than the second.

There's generally no obligation to intervene in a fight. However, his encouragement could act as a threat to the victim, and therefore be assault. Under that understanding, the accusation that he didn't intervene would operate as support for the claim that he threatened the victim by way of the primary assailant.
