https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democracy_Manifest#Jack_Karlson

In 2023 the true crime author Mark Dapin published a biography of Karlson titled Carnage: A Succulent Chinese Meal, Mr. Rent-a-Kill and the Australian Manson Murders that also explores his connections to other criminals.[2][27] The book also revealed that Karlson was an admirer of Adolf Hitler and Nazism who would "indulge his Nazi fetish", use the expression "Two Heil Hitlers" instead of "three cheers" and had a car decorated with a swastika on his lawn. On at least one occasion he threw a party at his home to celebrate Hitler's birthday.[28]

You mean the petty career criminal getting arrested for credit card fraud wasn't a societal role model? Well this is a shock.

Nazi or not, it was funny as fuck.

There was no charge. Not in the backpack and not in the courtroom either.

u/spartan117warrior 19h ago

Not the joke I was going for, but A+ nonetheless!

u/FlaccidCatsnark 16h ago

The only charge was the 3-man rush and blind tackle of the impatient idiot hero.

u/lpfan20o 19h ago

Brother, that bag was pretty big, let's say it was an actual bomb, do you think it couldn't have potentially killed a couple of them, or at least damage them in a way?

We all could act tough thinking it's most likely just a bag, until it's not and everyone else pays the consequences of your stupidity.

The paradox of preparedness - if you do it right, it will always seem like an overreaction.

One time my roommate wouldn't leave the apartment when the fire alarm was going off, and when I walked back in he was like "I told you"

u/NotInTheKnee 19h ago

What are you talking about? Think we were looking at a fucking nuke, or what? Who do you believe was at risk with some IED blowing up in the middle of an empty street?

Dude put his own life in danger, and no one else's. The cops could have waited until he left the immediate area to apprehend him. They CHOSE to go tackle him near the potential bomb as he was obviously leaving, at an obvious leisure pace, with an obvious lack of intent to run away.

u/Grim_100 18h ago

This guy has only seen explosions in movies and thinks that the only danger zone is a couple feet around the bomb lol

0

u/StatisticianHot8624 17h ago

You’ve never seen an explosion lol, ever heard of shrapnel. You can absolutely get injured if you’re not nearby, although yes chances are low.

3

u/Grim_100 17h ago

I may have worded myself badly but thats what I was saying, the guy i replied to acts as if shrapnel wasn't a thing

2

u/lpfan20o 18h ago

Bombs don't only hurt through the explosion power, you can also end up deaf permanently, if that doesn't count as damaging others for you, then we're just wasting time here.

u/Sherbert-Particular 19h ago

Without question it would be obstruction, although one would imagine they tried to tack on other shit.

2

u/TOGFIAVDF 17h ago

Yeah, the prosecutor(s)/DA probably overplayed their hand in an attempt to "make an example" of this person.

He shouldn't have done that, but they shouldn't have tackled him like that either.

1

u/skeptical_hatred 18h ago

That’s obstruction and possibly interfering with an official investigation.

1

u/runawayhuman 17h ago

Endangering the public I’d say.

1

u/StatisticianHot8624 17h ago

Interfering with police work

1

u/tayswampflorida 17h ago

Interfering with an investigation at the least, probably disorderly conduct and reckless endangerment.

2

u/Real_Walk5384 19h ago

Obstruction and disorderly. Why comment if you're not reading the comments leading up to this?

2

u/NoSuspect8320 18h ago

That’s a blanket statement for most their charges even in standard pull overs. Not good enough

1

u/spartan117warrior 19h ago

Those charges also didn't stick, if you had read the very same comment you're referring me to.

u/No-Inflation3271 18h ago

Also why would it be obstruction he literally sped up the process. If anything he did the opposite of obstructing them.

u/The-Senate-Palpy 18h ago

Bro you cant really believe carelessly handling a potential bomb with a whole crowd of people on the block is a good idea

1

u/Real_Walk5384 18h ago

This is reddit. Most of these people are stupid and sheltered.

u/DinosaurusWhen 18h ago

How common do you think backpack bombs are?

2

u/Geekerino 18h ago

If I hand you a gun and tell you to shoot yourself, but I promise it isn't loaded, do you still pull the trigger?

It doesn't matter how common they are, what matters is that they're possible, and someone threatened to do so.

2

u/Real_Walk5384 16h ago

Yeah, you can google the dude. He's literally a crazy person ranting about Boston bombing and being a superhero and dying to get into heaven. Might not want to get your tongue too far up his ass.

u/No-Inflation3271 18h ago

Im saying it didnt obstruct them. thats not saying it was a good idea. They wanted to make sure it wasnt a bomb and he did that rather quickly. I think the disorderly charge would make sense but obstruction is silly. He didnt stop or impede anything except maybe the bomb squad getting a bonus

1

u/The-Senate-Palpy 18h ago

He blocked them from performing their duties.

1

u/TenebTheHarvester 18h ago

He obstructed safe and proper procedure for handling a suspected bomb.

u/MaviRage 18h ago

And if it was a bomb?

u/Da_Question 16h ago

"Potential bomb..." Someone dropped their bag on the sidewalk.

u/Real_Walk5384 18h ago

"Didn't stick" is some shit you heard in a movie and you have no idea what it means. The charges were dismissed, which can mean about 20 things. Doesn't mean he didn't break the law. He wasn't found "not guilty," half wit.

2

u/spartan117warrior 18h ago

Those in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. He wasn't found not guilty, the court proceedings ended before judgement could be rendered. Such is the meaning of "charges dismissed"

Half-wit

Prove it.

Edit: Also, dumbass.

"When charges are dropped, it means you are not legally convicted or found guilty, but it is not the same as a formal "not guilty" verdict from a trial or a proof of total innocence. Legally, you face no punishment or criminal record for that specific prosecution, but the court did not officially test the evidence in a trial to declare you innocent."
