Guy pulls gun on local reporter

[Links2k]

News 3 is reporting that a Joiner,AR man pulled a gun on April Thompson while she was attempting to report on the suspicious death of a elderly man.

I just saw the video. He pulls the gun from his truck and walks toward the reporter and cameraman in a threatening manner. The sheriff has the video and the suspect is on the run.

Hotheads shouldn't carry weapons.

Looks like Brandon’s headed to jail.

How freaking stupid can you be to pull a gun on a news crew with a camera pointed at you?

Camera? That looked like a GUN! .... It was pointed right at me!

What an idiot!!!

They say, don't bring a knife to a gun fight.

Don't bring a gun to a video shoot. More powerful weapon. You'll lose every time.

This video will play at his trial, he'll get convicted and receive maximum time.

Well, he likely won't be able to legally own a firearm after this one is done.

It's a Hi-Point.

So what you're really saying is that it isn't a real firearm in the first place right?

[TMF]

Somehow I have a feeling that this guy probably isn't legally allowed to possess a firearm.

It's a Hi-Point.

Are we really surprised by his lack of judgment?

That goober was really dumb. I wonder if April gets a permit and a gun, now?

[Mike.357]

I would guess April's employer would prohibit her from carrying at work.

[Guest 6.8 AR]

Yeh, I'm sure you're right.

I'm thinking he's just a dumb redneck, and had no idea how much trouble he was fixin to get into. They'll learn him.

Said his sister was charged among other things of using meth while neglecting the old man. That is only a charge not conviction, but possibly sis ain't the only one in the family who likes meth?
