http://tinyurl.com/hns543bA 56 year-old Allen Park, Michigan man named Michael Kubek is facing felony weapons charges after forcing six children aged 12-14 to lay down while he threatened them with a P938 9 mm handgun, allegedly for vandalizing his Trump/Pence" yard sign.
A Donald Trump supporter in Michigan pointed a gun at six kids he suspected of destroying a yard sign favoring the Republican presidential candidate.
Allen Park officers found the children, aged 12 to 14, on the grass Saturday with 56-year-old Michael Kubek standing over them "cursing and yelling." They said a gun had been pointed at them.
"He was using very profane language," a neighbor told Fox 2. "Real bad language."
Raw Story is reporting that the sign was simply knocked down." According to neighbors, the kids were traumatized by the experience.
The kids said they tried to tell Kubek they did not damage his sign, but it only resulted with Kubek telling them to shut up and continue cursing at them. They said Kubek held them at gunpoint while his mother called police. According to police, Kubeks mother lives on the same block.
Yes...it's come to this.
