Police said a sword-wielding Iowa City man fought with police officers in the Pedestrian Mall Friday afternoon. According to a criminal complaint, Deandre L. Irby, 19, of Iowa City, was observed skating through the Pedestrian Mall with a large sword attached to his backpack at 2:33 p.m. Police said the “fantasy sword” had a 26-inch blade...When officers caught up with Irby, he allegedly refused to identify himself or provide identification. Police said Irby also made an attempt to grab his sword. Police said they were forced to use their Tasers to subdue Irby when he tried to flee and fight with the officers. Irby told officers he did not have a concealed weapons permit to carry the sword. Irby was charged with going armed with a knife blade greater than 8 inches long, carrying firearms or weapons into a city park and interference with official acts. A phone number for Irby could not be found and he could not be reached for comment.
Someone must have mixed up the mugshots, right? Black people don't skateboard or play with fantasy words...and they certainly don't go mixing it up with mall security guards for fun, that shit is strictly a white person hobby. Blacks got enough problems with the real thing with actual cops hassling them and giving them the stink eye, they don't need to go teasing rent-a-cops for cheap fun with all that going on.
And why on earth do you need a concealed weapons permit to carry a sword? How the hell can you conceal a sword? Thing is the size of my leg, where am I going to hide that?
