Franklin NC PD puts trail on hold

Just a delay, an indefinite delay.  Just a snag.... a snag that should have been resolved by the Franklin NC police department.  In a world where a child got suspended from kindergarten for 12 days for making threatening speaches about shooting another student with a bubble gun (which she didn't even have at the time).  The Franklin PD let Brady (Mantis) Tinker an ex-con pothead "former" Meth dealer go after threatening David (with his own Machette held to his neck) and demanding he give over his remaining food and down jacket.  David reported this to Franklin PD, and after interviewing Mantis and Earlybird it was admitted the event did happen;  but, it was just a joke.  Really?  I should ask the Franklin Sheriff would he have let Mantis go had it been someone in his family?  Besides, joke or not the perception of assualt is hinged on the mindset of the victum, not the bystander.  What if David had been carrying a "45" and shot Tinker?  Not, that it would have been a loss, in court it would have been considered Self-defense. 

If you see this man on the trail watch out!
