geez, I better not hike with my fiddle. I often take it in businesses with me when it’s too hot to leave in the car. One day someone’s gonna think I have a weapon.

You’ll be fine as long as you don’t play wagon wheel.

Well, Chet Atkins did call his guitar a "yakety axe".

Sounds like we have a badass here.

This sounds like a lot of peevish paranoia to me, what ever happened to "mind your own business" and "forgive and forget"?
I've never seen such judgmental, intolerant and overly jaundiced hair trigger reactions as exists especially around the AT. Unless you fit into the "good" stereotypes that get left alone, you could easily be wrongly branded and stigmatized by people and reported. Life is full of thousands of types of people, why are people so quick to judge and report stuff?

I agree that people can be unfairly judged. Including how you are currently judging me.
As the OP, I felt I was non-judgmentally passing on interesting information. Information that was originally published in a (normally) credible news source... which has been done thousands of times on WB. Specifically, I kept thinking about the group of people who were held at gun point at a shelter a few years back. And given that I normally backpack alone, it is info that I would want to have.
BTW, I have already requested this thread to be deleted.

Oh wait...I did judge a little when I saw the dog dragging his lead behind him. I thought, dang, that can’t be comfortable for the dog.
-
So, inquiring minds want to know how he got reported to have threatened people with a shovel and a machete...
But yet when the police talked to him they came away and said he didn't do anything.

People can get spooked. Years ago I met a fellow with a machete on the Wonderland Trail, with gear that was not the usual. The other people at the campsite were really freaked out, although he had said or done nothing at all threatening. Had a short chat with him that raised no red flags. He lacked a permit, and was escorted up a long climb to the trail head by a ranger. I wonder what story the other hikers told afterwards.

It's easy to mistake a cathole trowel for a shovel.... and machetes are commonly mistaken for guitars. TSA has a heck of a time with that.

I guess we can all sleep more soundly knowing dangerous people like "sovereign" is no longer a free man.

Would you be ok with it if he were wandering around your neighborhood?
