Then what?

If I had a crystal ball I would answer that. But it would totally depend on the aggressor. I thank God he came to his senses and left .

Monday morning quarterback your situation.

Here's something I noticed from your account: You did have a gun on you when you
went outside. That's good.

But when you spoke with the BG, you were close enough to converse with him through
his open truck window, which means you were pretty close to him.

Should he have raised up a gun and fired through his open window, did you have ANY
cover available to you?

Close enough to speak with someone is close enough for that someone to throw some
lead your way.

Please follow up with the law. Sometimes BG's may back off if they know the law is
aware of their anti-social behavior.

Make sure you and the bride carry your guns on you.

By the way, given your "big454" screen name I assume that you are referring to the Chevy 454
cubic inch big block V8.

FYI: If you are not familiar with the song "455 Rocket", go to Youtube and watch the video.
It's done by that cutie Kathy Mattea (sp?), who sings the praises of the 455 Rocket V8
Oldsmobile that she had.

She states "biggest block alive" or somesuch. However, as far as American V8's go, I
believe that Cadillacs were available with 502's, which would be bigger than a 455.

Trivia fact: 1 Liter = 61.2 cubic inches.
So, today's common 2.0 liter engines only displace 122 cubic inches.

SIA

Yes, I am a big fan of the chevy big block. I had a 86 camaro with a 496 . That would be a 454 stroked and bored to a 496. I traded that camaro for a 74 stingray that had been swapped with a fuel injected ls1. Then I got rid of that corvette and am sorry I did. But now the trend is going with the ls type motors as they have a lot of potential.

The first to call is the complainant and victim, the second to call is the dude getting linked up

And stop escalating by engaging him on Farcebook

I was not egging him on. The reason he was there was to try and intimidate me for posting the news article about the crime spree by these people. If I was trying to escalate this I would have contacted him directly on his account.

I also don't suppose you took any pictures of him sitting there in his truck as proof that he was there after making the threats and stating that he knew where you lived? Or actual video with audio of you speaking to him so he can't say that you said something you didn't?

He posted these threats on that online page. So they are recorded , my wife was there as well. I have my home camera's pointing towards the front and back . This guy parked on the side street so the camera's didn't get him.

My wife was a witness to this , as she was outside as well. The Facebook page has the threats made by this fool. I haven't heard from him since that day. I have his Facebook info that I can pass to the officer taking the report. What surprised me was the willingness of this man to go to someone's home . That was really dumb and risky on his part.

Ok, I just want to see what you guys and gals have to say about this incident that happened about 2 weeks ago. I know I kind of dropped the ball by not reporting it to the police but I think I was good in the way I actually handled the guy that was being the aggressor. I posted in a local facebook page about certain issues that involved people within our small community . These people had been arrested in a different town because they apparently had been burglarizing vehicles and were caught . I let our community know about this. Well, all of a sudden a guy started posting about me needing to be careful what I post because I could end up getting hurt. I took it lightly at first but then he stated that he was headed towards my home , he knew where I lived as this is a small town. I had some of my tools and equipment outside so I went outside . Still not believing he really is going to show up I stated to him how dumb he was to actually make threats on social media. Then I see this guy in a dark blue maybe black truck on the side street on a stop . He just let his truck idle there . He had his passenger window lowered and I asked him if he needed something. He did not answer but started making threats on that facebook page. I stated back to him , if you come unto my property I will do what I need to do to stop the threat. Eventually he drove off but kept on making threats. I started thinking , if he had actually gotten off the truck and come towards my property . I would have displayed my weapon in a defensive manner to warn him to keep back. He had stated already on social media that he had a "defender" with him. Then for sure I would have called 911 . But I kind of felt that because he drove off without getting off the situation kind of diffused itself . But I am thinking I should probably make a report anyway to be on the safe side. What say you about this incident?
