Virginia’s laws on brandishing may well be unconstitutional. That is not the sole issue in the case at hand.
If someone is screaming foul language at me and is intoxicated, while holding a firearm in his hand, that would reasonably alarm me, and should be a crime, defined in the law, in a constitutional manner.
No one has yet explained the behavior that resulted in the accusations of swearing and public intoxication. Without such context, I am not motivated to help the man in this case.
I have provided monetary help in previous cases. I would again—were I convinced that this man only faces the predicament he does because of an unconstitutional definition. There are other attendant behaviors alleged. I cannot evaluate a proper reaction while those behaviors remain unexplained.
At them moment, I am back to meh.
