A white couple from Clarkston, Michigan, was arrested and charged with a felony after a video showed the woman pointing a gun at a Black mother and her two daughters.

Remember these words:

“I was afraid for my life.”

The black woman threatened to beat the S out of the man. That woman should be arrested.

I think 2A attorneys are going to take this pro bono.

“We have had a rash of hornets and bees in our area and I have to carry a can of Hornet spray in my vehicles.”

Be prepared!
Never know when you’ll run into those nasty murder hornets. Better safe than sorry me old pappy always said.

I thought this was about the two folks that faced the mob. I withdraw my previous post until I clarify this different incident.

You can spray a phone with PAM?
Nice.
Maybe I need some, unless it would explode in the heat.

[plain talk]

Pointing a gun in someone’s face can be costly. This one cost them $10K in bond plus the husband lost his job. This is before they even get to lawyer costs. Expensive shopping trip.

The blacks involved in this were wrong, they were harassing the white couple.

BUT I’ve said this before, you do not draw a gun, you do not point a gun, unless you are about to be physically attacked, and then you draw that gun and you USE it, not to warn, you use it to disable or kill.

That’s what I understand the NRA teaches, I’ve read their articles on it.

Maybe the state law permits a gun to be drawn for hitting your car or blocking your way.

But I think drawing and pointing your weapon in this situation is poor and unsafe gun practice.

You don’t pull a gun for every altercation.

Yeah, probably in here somewhere as it starts to clear up, we're going to finally get to see some of that white privilege you hear so much about.

There’s more to the story, and here’s an earlier thread:

Where will this stop?
The man has already been fired for trying to get his vehicle away from a deranged bully.

[sauropod]

The very same.

I don’t agree with the woman pulling a gun because this idiot hit her car, but I’m not sure how anything she did was “assault”.

At least that I have read. Unless they are going to claim her bumping into thr daughter that apparently started the whole thing was assault.

Yes..that's the couple. She's pregnant, and this hefty black woman harangued and harassed the couple, while her 15 year old daughter was filming the confrontation, and calling the white woman a racist. The black woman was in her face, waving her hands all over the place. At one point the black woman got up into the man's face, waving her hands.

The pregnant woman was initially calm, and talked respectfully to the black woman...while at the same time, the daughter who was filming the whole thing, was calling her a racist. When the husband pulled up with the car, the pregnant woman got into it while the black woman was still yelling at her. The white woman continued to talk calmly to the black woman, but the black woman would have none of it, and kept harassing the couple.

The couple attempted to drive away. At that time the camera angle changes so you can see nothing, but you hear some scuffling, and the daughter yelling "Mom" or "Mama", which, according to reports claims the black woman tried to block their backing out of the parking space they were in. The next camera view is of the white woman getting out of her car holding her weapon and telling the black woman to step back. She repeatedly told the black woman to step back, while she herself had to retreat backwards, because the black woman kept coming towards her. Through the whole video, it is clear that the pregnant white woman was trying to physically get away from the screaming b*tch and her daughter, but they would not leave her alone, and continued to follow her and harangue her.

He will appeal and get his job back. He didn’t do anything but sit on his fat butt while his wife, who obviously wears the pants in the family, protected him, herself and their unborn child.

Spray the lens of the recording device, and make any further video useless.

The new crime: Defending yourself while white.

The video shows the black women verbally assaulting the white couple, apparently after a minor accidental bump (not on camera) while going into the restaurant. The black women went ballistic, and one of them used a racial slur ("your white ass"), and the white couple got in their car and were trying to leave.

One of the black women kept shouting and started banging on the car. That's when the white woman gout out her gun, probably out of fear for what might happen. We've seen a lot of video in recent weeks of mobs surrounding cars, pounding windows, smashing with clubs, pointing guns, and making threats. How could anyone possibly feel threatened? /s

[I want the USA back]

I see that NBC “news” has joined other leftist rags in capitalizing black and using lower case for White.

The current insane hysterical fit the country is undergoing has led to White people being charged with a crime that a black person would not be charged for.

No kidding... Dollar store here I come. Thanks for the tip.

“disrespected” what a horse manure term"

That was a favorite term used by the convicts when I was an officer. I first heard it when I started in 1980. Seems it's shelf-life hasn't expired yet.

[skimbell]

Oh "disrespected" is a big term in that culture.

All groups have their hot buttons.

Where I grew up, if someone called you a liar or a S.O.B., they'd better have a smile on their face while they were doing it.
