Orphan,
Yes, someone did say he may have committed a crime. Please read the thread thoroughly before posting. From Madhatter66...
"I am being civil here, I am just voicing that I completely disagree with, and even go so far as to point out that your friend possibly committed a crime here."
I do, in fact, understand the point that is trying to be made in regards to the situation. If we are going to play the hypothetical game however, we will be here all day and I won't partake.
Also...
..."the guy stopped threatening Decklin's friend and left the threat ended."
Do you really believe that?!? A man pulls up next to him, child in car, and waves a gun in a threatening manner for who knows what reason. The threat to Decklin's friend ended when he drove away, however the threat itself did not end as you state. A person of reasonable intelligence would conclude that the individual is likely a threat to others on the roadway, if not also the child. As law abiding citizens, I feel we have an obligation to our fellow citizens to help eliminate (through the use of law enforcement when appropriate, as his friend was doing, and correctly I might add, given the situation at the time) the threat and to get the guy/girl off the street. I stopped posting on this forum approximately 2 years ago because of the attitude I saw running rampant through this forum of "F you Joe Citizen. You are not my problem, so if someone is beating/shooting/stabbing you, UNLESS they attack me, I'm not gonna do **** about it." I decided to drop in and check things out, and it looks like this may still be the case.
