An Oregon woman held an alleged arsonist at gunpoint until police arrived to the scene after the man claimed he was going to start a fire on her property.

In the footage that was shared on Kat Cast’s Facebook page, Cast is seen driving up to the man as someone in her vehicle records.

Cast gets out the vehicle holding a handgun, walks over to the man, who has not been identified, and orders him to get on the ground.

More from the story:

The incident comes just days after a man was arrested Portland for allegedly using a Molotov cocktail to start a brush fire.

Domingo Lopez Jr, 45, was arrested on Sunday for allegedly starting the fire. He was released just hours before he is accused of starting six additional fires early Monday morning.

California, Oregon and Washington state have seen historic wildfires that have burned faster and farther than ever before.

His angst over climate change made him do it.

Most people don’t know this, but under NY law, deadly force can be used to stop a person from committing arson.

Good outcome...terrible firearm discipline...Color me cynical, something doesn’t seem right about how this all went down. Don’t know to what end, but it just seemed a little staged, to me. But, good outcome.

They’ll revoke this law in record time.

I’m sure they will let this thug go to do more damage.

He’s a Biden supporter... the ‘press’ will miss that part of the story.

It’s obviously official policy in Oregon to see the state burned to the ground. People get the government they deserve.

This right here (and I use this term as a measure of respect) is ONE TOUGH BROAD! Good trigger etiquette, no-nonsense command presence and a good patriot. Dig her. I could only hope to be that tough and patient in such a situation.
Talk about *real* feminism.
Shrill Marxist harpy whiners have NOTHING on her!

Good grief! The linked story is almost unreadable. Repeat sentences, and paragraphs are annoying.
Journalism really is dead.

Add Texas to that list.

It's true, given the potential for lives being threatened.

In California, Oregon and Washington State, arsonists are let go so they can start more fires.

This is so the governors, like Newsom, can blame climate change and Trump.

I read the entire article thinking the woman was most likely arrested - or will be soon.

She stated: “the media will just twist my words.”

Oh, you got that right, honey, you got that right.
