Knucklehead gone crazy over ex-girlfriend, pulls item out of his picket wrapped in a black scarf, claiming it is a gun. Turns out it's a rock, uses rock to beat one guy in the head. Multiple charges, but not Brandishing.
Should it be?
Link to article.
Brandishing, from the Code of Virginia:
A. It shall be unlawful for any person to point, hold or brandish any firearm or any air or gas operated weapon or any object similar in appearance, whether capable of being fired or not, in such manner as to reasonably induce fear in the mind of another or hold a firearm or any air or gas operated weapon in a public place in such a manner as to reasonably induce fear in the mind of another of being shot or injured.
