Guy Toting an AR-15 in Southeast PDX Does This All The Time

One of the two men stopped by Portland police yesterday carrying assault weapons does this all the time, all over the state.

Medford resident Warren R. Drouin, 22, keeps a YouTube channel called Markedguardian, festooned with the Libertarian "Don't Tread on Me" snake and hosting videos of Drouin and other friends carrying Bushmasters and other weapons in Medford, Talent, Albany, Grants Pass and Ashland.

In every case, he brings in 911 calls from concerned passersby.

And less than a month in time (and seven miles in distance) away from the mass shooting at Clackamas Town Center, he got his fair share in Portland.

.....

Here is the guy's YouTube. He is out doing this shit to make videos.

Portland Oregon Police, Open Carry AR-15 "our purpose is to normalize it"

[Buzz Clik]

1. So, this attention whore gets another few seconds of fame and wastes some more cops' time.

Damn.

[Coyotl]

2. He wants to "normalize" having people walk about with ARs slung over their shoulders.

Jackson County has a lot of redneck weirdos in the back woods.

3. Bonehead. nt

4. This guy should try doing this in Los Angeles

I wonder how long he'd last.

[nadinbrzezinski]

5. As of jan 1, he's be arrested.

It's now illegal to do that in California.

11. +1

Love California.

6. Tool needs to join the infantry and volunteer for afghanistan.

all the open carry time you need. Paranoid ass.

[smccarter]

7. Have Americans become this damned stupid?

let's consider what the reaction would have been if the guy was carrying an open can of beer.

Would the police have stopped to have a cordial conversation with him?

[neverforget]

8. Cop: show me your concealed weapon permit. Gunner #1: I don't consent but I won't resist

Cop: How do we know you have a permit to carry?
Gunner #1: What do you need it for?

Cop explains reason for reasonable suspicion and 911 calls.
Gunner #2: I enjoy doing this


Gunner#1: We started losing our rights when we lost our full autos.

This video is full of crazy.

[Coyotl]

9. At least we know Portland has quite cool cops.

Either that, or it took half an hour to figure out who wanted to do camera duty.

Three banned RW Gun Trolls thought this guy makes sense and is not just a "shit-stirring" moron:

59. Lawfully and peacefully exercising Constitutional Rights...

"is just begging a confrontation and symptomatic of a right wing jerk".

Well, that's certainly the mark of liberal thinking... Oh, wait, no it fucking isn't...

7. I don't think

its shit stirring to push the bounds of police comfort every now and again, as long as he followed the law I dont have a problem with this and neither should you. If you dont like the law get it changed.

49. Could you provide a definition that can distinguish between defending your rights

and "shit-stirring".

Like if someone organizes a protest that gets kind of rowdy. Is that shit stirring or standing up for the first amendment?

If someone who is clearly guilty still insists on being granted their rights. . . is that shit-stirring?

13. The guy making these videos

Has gone off the deep end, but forgot to fill the pool. However, he's educated himself in law well enough to be commended.
