Woman Records Armed Confrontation, Shouts At Man to Put Down Gun
Saw this in the local news. Woman looks out her window, sees an armed standoff and does the only reasonable thing anyone would do--grabs her phone and starts filming despite being "completely traumatized." Shouts at gun guy to put it down, tells media she was sure this was racially motivated violence. Two participants de-escalate (video included in story).
Cops follow up, turns out the "victim" has been approaching people walking their dogs and threatening to kill them and the dogs. Cops say gun guy is probably justified. Kudos to cops and media for following up on this angle.
It seems like gun guy handled this OK but reinforces that you need to be controlling the narrative onsite and afterward. What if this was the first time, not the second or third time, the wack job had threatened a dogwalker? Now you're on video pointing a gun at someone while the eyewitness is convinced you're the one in the wrong.
