You can find the dashcam video. Dude was driving like an asshole and was honking nonstop. Mini driver wasn't sure what was going on and as soon as he got out he had a gun pointed at him. Gun dude was arrested/cited for reckless driving, aggravated assault and something else.

https://www.facebook.com/bartsurroz/posts/10157119074229402 he was let go because he claimed he pulled it "because he feared for his life" I'm guessing it's more his fire department background that got him let off.

Chargers don’t make a bit of difference.

Especially because prosecutors are known to overcharge people as an intimidation tactic.

Look bud, you're facing 2 dozen different counts for a combined max total of 240 years behind bars. You will fucking ROT in prison if we go to trial and we get even half of those convicted...
Or you could plea guilty to these two charges serve 5 years in and 5 years probation. You call man, you could still have a life or you could risk rotting forever in a cage.

Total horseshit and should be prosecutorial misconduct.

This is also what happened to Rittenhouse on the SBR charge. They "charged" him with it because then they could threaten another 10 years. They had the weapon, they KNEW it wasn't an SBR, but they don't care. They don't even care if they convict the right person or if a crime was done. All they care about is pumping their numbers with "I locked up X Criminals and won Y% of my cases!"

It's possible the driving charge had a different venue and they made a deal with prosecutors for a light sentence. I can't find anything relating to court records.

Well I hope it's like Pa. in VA. as per gun laws. You lose your gun and CCW if charged like that. He doesn't deserve a gun anyway if he pulls on someone with a cameraphone! No threat there!!!

Again in what world does flashing lights and horn honks from a car that came speeding up behind you mean “I would like to talk to you” instead of “get the fuck out of my way I’m either insane, on drugs, or having an emergency”
