A white Oakland County, Michigan couple were charged with felony assault on Thursday after a video of a pregnant woman defending herself from a black woman with a firearm went viral.
Oakland County Prosecutor Jessica Cooper charged Jillian Wuestenberg , 32, and Eric Wuestenberg, 42, each with one count of felonious assault, a four-year felony, the Detroit News reported.
Oakland County Prosecutor Jessica Cooper charged Jillian Wuestenberg, 32, and Eric Wuestenberg, 42, each with one count of felonious assault, a four-year felony. The Independence Township couple each possessed one loaded firearm and CPL licenses, Sheriff Mike Bouchard said.
The couple was arraigned Thursday at 52-3 District Court in Rochester Hills.
Both were given a $50,000 personal bond.
“As part of the bond conditions, they must turn over all firearms, not engage in any assaultive behavior, and may not leave the state,” sheriff’s officials said.
The incident stemmed from a bump and lack of apology, according to Bouchard.
“Let’s have a little more tolerance for each other and not being so quick to react,” Bouchard said. “If someone is doing something improper or unfair, I tell my family and friends to look away. This is not the moment to plant your flag.”
A white couple leaving a Chipotle restaurant this week were falsely accused of racism by a black woman and her 15-year-old daughter.
The black woman accused a pregnant white woman of bumping into her daughter near the e
ntrance of the restaurant and demanded an apology.
The white woman tried to deescalate the confrontation by peacefully walking away and got into her car as the black woman called her a “dumbass bitch.”
The black woman then turned her ire toward white woman’s husband and threatened him: “And if you say something I’ll beat your white ass too.”
As the white couple backed up their vehicle to leave the parking lot, the black woman rushed behind the SUV to block them from leaving and accused them of ‘trying to hit her.’
The black woman pounded on the vehicle and threatened to beat them.
This is when the confrontation escalated.
The white woman got out of the car and pulled out her firearm after being assaulted and threatened, “Get the f*ck away!” she screamed. “Back the f*ck up!”
Eric Wuestenberg was fired from his job at Oakland University following the incident.
“We have seen the video, and we deem his behavior unacceptable.” the university said in a statement.

When mace is maybe a more effective option. Much easier and safe to pull the trigger.
Never carry with an empty chamber.
I'll donate to their defense fund.
The new reality.
the black people are going to have some splanning to do....they looked like the aggressors, the name callers, the threatening ones....
Never carry with an empty chamber.

EASY...NOT GUILTY...verdict and wrongful termination suit...
This is what leftists will keep doing to conservatives... weaponizing justice...
Prosecutor needs fired.. charges dropped....
This is war people...if you don’t think that you’re next...I feel sorry for you and your family...
The left wants your house, savings, job...
They want to break your Christian virtures, they want you living on the streets turning your kids out for tricks...for eating money...
WAKE UP!!!!
People on juries need to nullify these malicious prosecutions.
Exactly. I watched the whole video and it was indeed a setup. The agitators were going to agitate until the couple did something.
Yes. I've seen conservatives say bad things against those proud boys that where clearly the victims after they went to prison.
Jillian and Eric Wuestenberg should have been wearing body cams. Those cameras are really cheap now. Some of them will clip on a pocket like a pen. Some will upload to WiFi.
And always, be the first to call 911.
Other considerations: carry a tiny flashlight. Do more training on the ranges. Get self-defense insurance (legal services).
And carry pepper spray.
Talk to your neighbors about the issues—not the politicians or personalities. Convince them subtly, little by little, of the benefits of conservative government without mentioning the word, conservative.
Talk to them about self-defense, jobs, trade imbalances, manufacturing, the economy, freedom,...
You only have four months to do so. After that, speaking might become illegal with horrible penalties.
It will be interesting to learn if the black woman who instigated this confrontation and who is name calling, threatening to beat a$$e$ and blocking and hitting a car will be identified and fired from her job.
What job?
Also, she wouldn’t be, cancel culture doesn’t work that way in her case and there’s no counter video from the other point of view to change that.
Her name is Takelia Hill and she appears to have a
LinkedIn profile, but I can’t see it.
A lot of Antifa have no official jobs but do have LinkedIn profiles.
Not likely, Oakland county is Republican dominated and she has a CPL and a firearm.........
