Trejbal has been receiving numerous threats. The other day a package arrived at his home and the Bomb squad was called. There are not enough details surrounding the incident to come to a conclusion, but I sure hope the most law abiding citizens of the Nation, according to members here, aren't responsible. We argue that it is unethical for him to post our addresses and yet we return evil for evil. Is this the high road? Should we scare Trejbal into carrying himself? Or do people not even care and just embrace a karma which says, "what goes around comes around"?

I do not know what to think about recent events.

you're walking a fine line
 
Well, I know I'm not.

Maybe he mailed it to himself. Wouldn't be the first time a lefty faked being oppressed by the right. Let's see what the investigation yields.

Unless you have information that is not in the article and that you have not posted you seem to be making a number of assumptions.

If you do not know what to think perhaps you should get some data instead of suppositions, inuendos, and guesses.

The only threats I'd heard about (other than in this article) are to his wallet.

I personally think this is grandstanding, I think he's trying to make his point about how dangerous gun owners are. Or he really believes gun owners are such a violent crowd they would attack him and his family. :banghead:

If he had received violent threats, then I'll stand corrected; and whomever made them has made things even worse for the law abiding who wish to stop this properly...with a boycott and letters.
 
Uh, from what I read in the article, the only thing sent to him was a box of sticky labels from a marked delivery service.
 
1. There was no bomb.

2. This grandstanding bleating-blissninny has seized upon a DHL promotion/solicitation into a "threat" in order to garner sympathy for himself despite his actions.

3. He threatened holders of CCWs and their families now he wishes to convert himself into a "victim". Sound familiar?

4. The police bomb squad was there for three hours to justify having a police bomb squad when they have to go back for a budget hearings.

5. We should not scare Mr. Trejbal; he should be prosecuted. He attempted to incite violence against CCW holders in Virginia and compared them to sex criminals.

6. It is the epitome of the high road to point out a person's immoral, unethical and illegal actions and cry out for redress of those actions.
 
Trejbal's actions deliberately put people in real physical danger. Some of those people are hiding out and being actively pusued by stalkers, ex-husbands, etc.

That is actionable.

I think when he is a co-respondant with the newspaper in a class action suit, he'll have plenty of regrets about this stunt. His newspaper will try throwing him under the bus, but the editors and ownership of that newspaper had to support it.

"we return evil for evil"?!

What's this "we" business? Something you want to confess?
Leave others out of your conspiracy fantasy.

And Trejbal has a right to have his email and residence be a secret?! Interesting perspective.

That's like saying that it isn't "fair" to identify the location of a sniper, and return fire.

Consequences.

Who cares? Really? He wants to take on an issue in a bully-pulpit type fashion then he gets to take it on 100%. I wasn't affected directly, but ALOT of Virginans were - and in life and death fashion too. TO just let this weasel get away with his charade crusade without consequences IS irresponsible.

Bottom line on this incident is that there WAS NO bomb, no laws broken, so there probably will be no investigation - lots of publicity for the Times though is what it sounds like.

I wouldn't be surprised to hear about copy-cat type incidents though, since now his address is well-known and confirmed by his paper.

vis-a-vis,

I am inclinded to believe that you fell for it.

Anyone else find it very ironic that right after this a package of packing envelopes gets delivered?

Sure he doesn't know who sent them. The fact it that he knows he stirred up an ant bed. Having a package delivered to his home was a perfect way to:

1.) Possibly gain sympathy.
2.) Make an implied assertion that law-abiding gun owners can and will turn violent -- therefore giving credibility to his stunt.
3.) Keep his name in the news.


I seriously hope you aren't so niave as to fall for these manipulations by a person who has already proven that his journalistic liscense trumps anyone elses' REAL LIFE.

My guess is that the "numerous threats" are probably on the level of "If I get hurt because you revealed my address I will sue".

This fellow has got himself into such a state that he now suspects any suspicious event, such as the harmless delivery of a box of shipping materials, may be a threat on his life.

I wonder if he has started to think he may need a concealed firearm to defend himself. The beautiful irony of it !!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I believe the only threat to Mr. Trejbal is that he won't be able to work in his chosen profession for the rest of his life.

He should go into the food service industry, at the lowest level. How about cleaning grease traps?
 
I don't care what happens to him, as long as he doesn't get shot.

Because, ya know, guns are evil!!!

Now I really don't wish bodily harm upon him, but I would love to see him reduced to begging for change on the street corner.
 
Uh, nope... no one in my family has done anything like this, Trejbal's a jerk-off, but doing something like sending weird packages to the guy just makes the sender look like a fruit-cake...

No offense meant to jerk-offs and fruit-cakes...
 
The zumboing of Zumbo didn't just make ripples, it make shockwaves. People once again realize that there can be consequences to viciously insulting honest human beings. That is exactly what the anti's fear most.

This ****** is simply trying, as people already said, to put gun owners on the defensive and paint himself as a victim. He doesn't want to be, as other people already said, out of a job and unemployable.

Everyone should learn his name so that they could write to his employer and explain why they're boycotting his product.
 
Kind of makes you wish a rich gun owner would exercise his 1A rights.

Construct a large billboard, put this guys name, home address, and a note: He is unarmed.

Bet THAT would send a nice message.

$5 says he would be whining the next day about how he shouldn't have had his home address posted.
 
Regarding whether one of our own sent the package, I'm inclined to parrot what was said by Robert Hairless on the main thread regarding this issue.

If someone from our own actually did such a thing, I believe our response to Mr. Trejbal would pale in comparison with how such a person would be treated by us.

But to even ask the question assumes there is a possibility.

There is no possibility.

We are better than that.
 
vis-a-vis:

You show extremely poor judgment. Did you send Christian Trejbal a bomb, or did you send him a package disguised as a bomb? If so, call your local authorities and confess to them. There is no point in confessing to the world at large, especially when you disguise your identity.

If you suspect someone of having committed such a despicable act of terrorism, it is your duty to inform the authorities directly instead of posting a message to the world.

If you believe that gun owners in general are so unstable and fearsome that any of us might have done such a thing, why are you here and why are you associating yourself with us?

In either case, what is your reason for casting doubt and suspicion on us by telling the entire world that you think any of use are capable of such a thing? You damage us all by posting that message.

What is wrong with you?


Beatnik, thank you. You must have posted your message while I was writing this one. Had I seen your message first I probably wouldn't have posted mine.
 
Robert Hairless was correct and so was Beatnik. We have acquired a reputation, deserved or not, of eating our own when we think it is deserved. If one of our own did in fact do something that stupid, Jim Zumbo would think he'd gotten off lightly...

I like this idea. Legal. Correct. In the public interest. Satisfies the First Amendment. Depending on the cost of a billboard rental, I would be willing to contribute. That would make the news for a 15 second spot. Which means the audience which receives our message just went into seven or eight digits. This isn't about changing hearts and minds...this would plant a seed...just let it grow...truth and sunlight is a hard combination to beat.
