No, we’re not making this up.
Thanks to all the snitches that could have gotten someone killed for carrying an umbrella.

Imagine carrying an umbrella and being approached by police for carrying it.
Oh my. That doesn't seem like a good joke to carry around in public…

What if they wanted to keep from getting wet in the rain?

Wait for #umbrellacontrol advocates to step forward. They’ll want “common sense umbrella reform.”

As long as it’s not a bump umbrella.
Did it have a machete attachment?https://t.co/0eNm8QGXSe

Or a chainsaw attachment?

Touche.
Only in Kirkland are the residents so sheltered that they feel threatened by an UMBRELLA.
Can someone clue Kirkland residents in that technically they live in proximity to a TEMPERATE RAINFOREST?? pic.twitter.com/38xAayOiKR— DJDole (@DJDole) January 17, 2018
Maybe the person should have a bright hot pink umbrella next time?
wow some people really need to learn to distinguish the difference, so much energy was wasted on…

Think of the number of resources that went to this.

Um…there’s still other umbrellas out there…

That’d be a nifty contraption.
An umbrella shaped like a sword that looked like a rifle?! It’s amazing that law enforcement can solve anything based on eyewitness descriptions! ?◼️?◼️?

Craziest description ever.
So your tipsters mistook a sword for a rifle but it's okay now – just an out of town umbrella. What happens if he uses it in, you know, raink? Reports of a radar dish stealing itself?

BAHAHA. The descriptions alone are questionable.
An umbrella, mistaken for a rifle, that looks like a sword. Gonna be a long day.

The cops are probably saying the same thing.
We need permits for sword umbrellas!#sarcasm

CCU = concealed carry umbrellas.
gun, sword, umbrella… all the same thing if it is black… racist.

Liberals hate them all.
1. How did someone confuse an umbrella for a rifle?

Whoever reported it needs to really have their eyes checked.
