UK Man Arrested Arrested For Posting Photo With Gun...

Hey Guys

Thought some of you may find this interesting.

Supposedly, a man from the UK posted a photo of himself on Linked In holding a firearm. It's come to light that the photo was taken while he was onholiday in the USA where everything he was doing was perfectly legal.

The UK police came an issued him with a warning, but came back an arrested him at a later date, despite knowing by that point that the image was taken overseas.

Here's a video for those interested.

As usual there is a hell of a lot more to this tale than meets the eye, completely overlooked by social media of course. Seems old mate was charged with stalking having posted the photo of him with a shotgun then folowing it with a pic of himself standing on a property he had been banned from by a DVO. Seems he has an ongoing stalking problem and the post was intended to cause distress to his victim. CPS dropped the charges as gaining a conviction was deemed problematic, but the dude involved is far from innocent.
