Florida police said the 61-year-old has a criminal history
By Adam Sabes | Fox News
A Florida man allegedly threatened sheriff’s deputies with his walking cane during an arrest on August 4.The man was initially being arrested for driving under the influence before beginning to allegedly threaten deputies in Ocala, Florida. A Marion County Sheriff’s Office deputy allegedly spotted 61-year-old Stephen Paciorek, driving a bike with a trailer, almost hit a pedestrian, according to FOX 35.
According to officials, the man was “extremely loud and uncooperative” during the traffic stop and a beer can was allegedly seen in the bike’s upholder.
Paciorek allegedly didn’t listen to deputies when he was asked to get off the bike.
After a period of time, the man agreed to perform a few field sobriety tests and used his cane, according to an arrest affidavit.
He again became uncooperative, and then threatened deputies.
“I have a cane and I will rip your f—— head off,” Paciorek allegedly told deputies.

Comments involving “whippersnappers” and the sanctity of his lawn were also overheard.
Graphic.
Thanks again to our Gun Bunny and Old Tanker for the links.
These are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.

play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Good morning everyone.
The virtues of silence
Does the scope make my receiver look fat?

I like Mr Paciorek. He’s my kind of Crusty Curmudgeon.
Do his actions warrant a new page of “bringing a walking cane to a gun fight”, to the three ring, three inch, loose leaf binders of T2NB2AGF?
The cops did have guns, unsure if they were drawn from their holsters and used for the arrest.
Parking lot FGS, yesterday.
I was sitting in my car at a hospital physical therapy building parking lot,
as the driver for a friend with PT appointments following surgery,
enjoying the breeze with a Sheetz coffee and a Marlboro.
A scraggly ballpark 70 year old comes out of the building,
sees my license plate, and stops to stare at it.
He then comes up to my open window and asks
“Is that you?”.
(Me) – “Yes, that was a long time ago.”
(Scraggly) – “I’m a veteran, too.
I was underwater demolition. Vietnam.
I took 17 guys into North Vietnam, and 11 didn’t come back.” And more. And more. And more.
When he finally stopped, I answered..
(Me) – “That’s incredible. Thanks for sharing.
You might enjoy knowing what I do as my retirement hobby.
I read, follow, and sometimes contribute to websites
that take reports from people who see veterans in uniforms
or displaying medals, who are telling stories like yours.
The websites get their military records,
because, as you know,
there are guys out there who dress up like heroes,
slap on a slew of medals, and tell heroic Navy SEAL stories,
but over 95% of them are lying.
When the websites prove that some of these guys are phonies,
the Phony Rangers, Phony Seals, and Phony Silver Stars
are put out on the internet for everyone to see, forever.
When you can, go to the website called “Military Phony”,
and see what some guys claim and wear,
and then what happens to them.
It’s an enjoyable hobby, seeing these phonies exposed.”
(Scraggly) – “Well, my DD-214 is bad,
it doesn’t show my medals,
but it’s because President Johnson ordered …. (blah blah).”
(Me) – “Thanks for a pleasant chat, and sharing your story.
I hope you take a good look at the website called Military Phony.”

I suspect ol’ scraggly
won’t be repeating his “underwater demolition”
and “taking 17 guys into North Vietnam” stories
to another veteran anytime soon.
The SWAT Boys put a veil over Mr. Viel. Maybe he shoulda went to Motel 6, they leave the light on for you.
No sugar in that cane, tho dood found himself in a sticky mess. Who dahell he think he is, Bat Masterson?
The times have a gotten worse, Good Sir.
Nothing like being able to shore up the North Wall…from three (3) miles away. Can you get fused rounds for it? Now where did I leave that orphaned $20K? You think they have an easy pay plan?
(Edited – wrong article. Sorry.)
While the additional rounds would be easier to carry, it seems the gun and tripod make it a little obtuse.
I remember sitting next to folks firing 90mm “recoiless” rifles when I was younger…I was lobbing flares from my 203 to illuminate the OBJ. This seems like it might be a bit more pressure. I think it would be nice to mount on a turret with a remote system. Wonder if I can find one from a CUCV that might fit my K5?
A couple of truisms of life.
1) If you shoot at cops, you will sooner than later be taking the forever dirt nap.
2) At some point in your life you will become too old for your threats to be taken seriously because someone younger, and tougher than you will shove your cane up your ass, rip your head off, and pull it out your neck.
So, this is truly a FG and I had to share since we are displaying cannons. I see your 20mm and raise you some inches!
BB still stands for ‘BAD Bitch’!
Just HAD to post this rabbit hole…and raise some of my inches…didn’t ya. DIDN’T YA!!!
TY…Now I need a cigarette.
If I didn’t get word of you “checking with a medical professional in four hours” I was going to organize a search party of the mostly blind cuz I know how you’d be found.
Crisco, it ain’t jus’ for cooking (so I heard)
Don’t believe I’d be bragging much on USS Iowa and gun turrets.
Too soon.
Not directed to you, -Dog. Good video, thanks.
Not so much fapfapfapfapfap over USS Iowa (IdiotsOutWalkingAround) and the tragedy that befell those Sailors, more so on Battling Bitches Floating Artillery Platforms in general. And not so much on that particular vid, but the rabbit hole of all the “Up Next” vids that followed and followed and followed and followed and nearly distracted me from watching Gunsmoke. ‘Specially the one with the guns ablazing during “Thunderstruck”. SWEEET!
I personally think we need to bring back the Battle Wagon concept of Floating Artillery Platforms. Call them Raphael Semmes Class. Not only to Pay Honors to a Real Fighting Man Sailor, that took the fight to the enemy, against heavy odds I may add, but to also piss off the History Revisionists that hate on us Southerners. And yes, to add even more insult to their injury, build ’em in Mississippi, a “non-union” state.

I need to issue a retraction of an earlier blog post I made about a fallen soldier’s family, who was killed in Afghanistan, being forced by the Biden administration to completely pay for funeral costs to be buried in Arlington. This wasn’t true. My source posted his retraction: Per the family, they weren’t forced to pay anything and the misleading story came from Fox News, who misrepresented statements made by Rep. Cory Mills-R. My source posted his retraction 3 days ago and it got back to me late last night. I sincerely apologize for the bad reporting on my end and I am happy no one made an article about it on this site. Again, I do apologize.
We all live. Only the most special of us TRULY fly.
Good night dear Sky King, wherever you are.
