RE: Did the South Portland Maine police overreact or not?

 that's only if they're made after a certain date (probably 1998, but this is just a guess).  Either that or they have 
to be made of bright colors so as not to be mistaken for a real weapon.  There isn't any federal ban on importing toy 
guns either, AFAIK that is....

  Of course there's no law about the fake dynamite he had strapped around him, and him dancing like an idiot on a 
bridge for everyone to see.  

  Sounds to me like he's an idiot.  If you dress like a terrorist, strap road flares around your body (they look a lot 
like the classic "dynamite" look from the movies), wave a toy full sized AK-47 around, with toy handgrenades and such 
you deserve to go to jail....
   He's just lucky he didn't get shot, he didn't drop the weapon at first?  Further proof that he's an idiot.  When 
armed officers whom are pointing their REAL pistols at you, ask you to drop what you have in your hand, you drop it or 
get shot, pretty black and white if you ask me...
  I'm surprized he didn't point the fake ak-47 at the officers and make bang-bang noises too!

  Yup, I'm convinced, he's an idiot.  He deserves what the court dishes out to him...

Could have swore that all toy guns were to have an orange muzzle for
just this reason. If his did have an orange muzzle, a lawsuit is in
order.
