White woman pulls gun on black couple at campsite: "you don't belong here"

I think it’s one of those “if I’m going to die at the hand of some bigot then I’m going to let the world know exactly how it went down” situations.

“It’s kind of crazy. You go over there and don’t have a gun pointed at you, and you come back home and the first thing that happens is you have a gun pointed at you. It’s kind of crazy to think about,” said Sgt. Franklin Richardson.

Kampgrounds of America does not condone the use of a firearm in any manner on our properties

Give it time, this just happened on the weekend. I surely hope she gets arrested too, but these things can take time.

Re: The video - grandma has lost her damn mind. Her family should remove her access to firearms before she puts a slug in her own leg or hip. Or don’t, I guess things have a way of working out…
