Man Pulls Gun on News Crew During Report: ‘I Bet I Can Do This’

Man Pulls Gun on WREG News Crew

A TV crew in Arkansas got quite the surprise this week when a man pulled a gun on them while they were trying to cover a story.

WREG-TV explains:

WREG’s April Thompson showed up at Wilton Goudeaux II’s home hoping to find some answers about his death. With his son and two others in jail, we knew it was likely no one would answer, but what happened next left her shocked.

A speeding truck screeched to a stop as photographer Ben Short’s camera was rolling. An angry young man jumped out . He yelled for the crew to leave.  They told him they were just trying to find out  information.  The man got angry and hit our camera.

When we told him he can’t touch our camera, he said, ‘I bet I can do this.’

And of course they caught it all on camera:

The news crew is now following through with charges of aggravated assault.

    Another gun-crazy right-wing nutjob. Our founding fathers are rolling over in their graves after observing the ongoing stupidity in this country. The 2nd amendment mentions the right to bear arms for ‘militias’ and back when it was written the country was much different back in 1791! People needed guns for food because they didn‘t have any A and P’s or Shop-Rite supermarkets; they also didn’t have many police as we have today and back then they needed guns for protection in addition to providing food through hunting! Today, there is NO need for the amount of guns people have. Also, todays guns are far more powerful then ones in 1791!

    I have three guns, one 12 gauge and two rifles, which are used for hunting. Nobody but police and other law enforcement types need hand guns! All hand guns ought to be outlawed for the average citizen so that only people needing them can buy them. Sure, criminals will get them, but eventually they will be killed or imprisoned. I know NRA idiots will say that they need hand guns for protection from criminals, and people with hand guns always talk big about using them to protect themselves, family, and others, but in reality, we never hear about this happening! Hardly ever are hand guns used by average citizens to thwart criminals! Get rid of all hand guns now, or else I will take them away from you myself!!!

      Sure, criminals will get them, but eventually they will be killed or imprisoned.

      - Criminals never recruit new members.
      - Criminals do not know how to build zip guns.
      - Criminals do not know how to gang up on people. Chimps know how, but somehow people forgot.
      - Criminals have used cars to ram people or run them over. So without guns, they are without weapons.
      - Before the advent of guns, people never used knives. “West Side Story” was about some mythical future where people get in fights with switch blades.

      The same people who ban guns, go on to ban swords, crossbows, & everything else under the sun. Swords are banned in Great Britain & Sword Dancers (I never knew there was such a thing), are having problems.

      “:This man was angry & was “trying to help his friend” who lived in the house. He should never have pulled his gun. There was no imminent threat & he’s going to pay the price for threatening these people.” – wrote Don’t Bother Me

      Reporters are annoying, unimaginative & dull. Every Hurricane season they go out to the beach in a raincoat. As if we didn’t know what it looked like. We need that live shot to convince us that there is really a Hurricane?

      Like wise they will go to some families house & camp it like vultures. It doesn’t matter if the family might be in state of shock, bereavement, whatever. It is obligatory for a J-school grad do pull such stunts.

      “With his son and two others in jail, we knew it was likely no one would answer”

      “If it bleeds, it leads” is the j school motto. Well if someone is bleeding, then some one else is probably in shock & emotional. Which is a great time for a J-school grad to go poking & prodding for a camera shot. After a shooting where many people know someone grief counselors are at hand at places like schools. Elsewhere people get not grief counselors, they get a J-school grad hoping to be the next Katie Couric wanna be.

      With a story of a crime I want to know cause & will it affect others. You could do that without cameo shots. But how we tell if the reporter is eye candy then?

      Damn the Taxes: Just another leftist nut job troll spouting off talking points he/she heard from their marxist/socialist/communist professor. Our founding fathers realized the importance of the citizenry to be able to protect itself from the tyranny of overreaching governments. They are rolling over in their graves at the stupidity of the left trying to disarm law abiding citizens.
      At no time did you make a coherent point and your use of exclamation points is exasperating. Could you be any more any more obtuse? And why the threat at the end? Obviously, you are trying to bait someone into an escalating argument in which you will declare all hand gun owners violent.
      The most insane argument for gun control: eventually criminals will be caught. In essence, you would rather an individual become a statistic first then catch the criminal, instead of allowing the said individual being able to defend him/herself from an attack.
      And am I to understand that you would never use any of your “hunting” guns to defend your family from a home intruder? You may want to rethink your weak arguments.

      Actually we hear about it all the time, you just don’t listen.

      Story from Columbia, SC where a lawyer attending an AA meeting defended the other members when two robbers broke in intending to rob everyone.
      And the NRA magazines have a column each month with news stories where citiens have protected themselves and/or others with their legal handguns.
      Aditionally crime statistics will show that places that allow concel carry have lower crimes against citizens rates than places that don’t (like England) because the criminals aren’t sure who can/will defend themselves vs. them knowing the “law abiding citizen” doesn’t have a weapon and “criminals will get them”.
      Power of weapons has nothing to do with it, it’s a strawman diversion.

      Don’t buy a hand gun, you have that choice. You do not make that choice for others. Who are you or anyone else for that matter to determine how or what I buy. So sick and tired of others trying to live, control, or decide for me. These rights are mine as they are yours too, if you chose not to have one, good for you. I am assuming that your 12 gage only kills animals for food? I think they both have the same end result, food and protection. Well, the gun is not the reason of a death… that would be the person behind it. That guy should not have a gun but he will get one (by what ever means he can) which means I will have mine as well, legally. Pistol hunting is still legal in some state… Have a great day!

      1. a body of citizens enrolled for military service, and called out periodically for drill but serving full time only in emergencies.
      2. a body of citizen soldiers as distinguished from professional soldiers.

      >>>>>>>3. all able-bodied males considered by law eligible for military service.<<<<<<
      Notice how it does not say anything about being enrolled in the military at all, just ELEGIBLE for service. I'd love to hear one of you ******** argue that…

      “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” I don’t see any mention of food or hunting in there…

      You think the police will keep you and yours safe? Chicago has a population of about 2.8 million, and a police force of 12,400. If all hell breaks loose in a city like that how long do you think it will take for the police to come and “protect” your family? Heck even in a small town, it takes several minutes for police to respond to a call (assuming you can even get to a phone). D you think the bad guys are going to wait around for them to show up?

      The “militias” argument comes straight from a DA Liberal playbook. The question should be : Why do we have the Bill of Rights? The reason it’s there is to protect the right of each individual in this country. Of which, the 2nd Amendment is part. The right of EACH INDIVIDUAL to keep and bear arms shall NOT be infringed. DA Liberals try to push that “militias” c#$p to further gun control. The Bill of Rights pertains to individuals NOT militias.

May I remind everyone that the British redcoats were supposed to be the Colonists protecting militia. When the British redcoats started shooting at the Colonists and then took away their CANNONS at Lexington and Concord, our forefathers started the first American Civil War, what gov’t schools call the Revolutionary War. But that name belies the fact that the Colonist were fighting against their own brothers.

The police is typically there AFTER THE FACT, people need to realize that owning weapons is a right and stip trying to strip that right simply because they are too afraid the defend themselves in a time of need, People need to stop listening to the TV News when they sensationalize the use of a weapon and look past the Hype Trying to be Created by the media. Police today are acting badlym shooting, tazering, beating citizens, we read about it all the time, So are we to look to them for protection? Police are being turned into Paramilitary Units, does anyone know why? Have you ever thought of why citizens are being stripped of our rights do people wonder why? It is because our goverment want to take control of the citizens and make us do thier bidding and follow their corperate agenda. GUNS SAVE LIVES ON A DAILEY BASIS< THEY KEEP THE GOVERMENT IN FEAR OF THE CITIZENS< WITHOUT GUNS YOUR GOING TO LOSE WHEN THE SH+T HITS THE FAN. 2nd Amendment is there for a reason.

      The founders didn’t protect our right to bear arms (notice the word “arms”, not the word “guns” or even “rifles”?) so we could hunt for food. They protected our right to bear arms so we could resist a tyrannical government, just like they did.

      I’m just guessing here but I believe the shotgun and rifles you own have
      a better capacity to do harm than a handgun. So if handguns are outlawed
      and taken away from the citizens, just like drugs, which is working great,
      what would be the next weapon outlawed? Shotguns, then rifles, then
      knives on too forks and finally spoons. Whos’s left with weapons, the
      Federal government. If you think our benevolent govt. won’t steamroll

      Your the biggest idiot on this post. Take your liberal a$$ off The Blaze. I happen to carry concealed a handgun myself. So what while I‘m in my house it’s O.K. to protect myself, but while I‘m in public I’m fair game for criminals? I happen to be a responsible law abiding citizen that wants to protect myself and my family. It’s pretty darn hard to conceal a 12 gauge, and last I looked there wasn’t a police officer behind every telephone pole, and around every corner. Just a couple of weeks ago in my area a 65 year old man was minding his own business riding his bicycle when three teenage thugs came up to him and started beating the living crap out of him. To make a long story short the 65 year old pulled out a handgun and shot and killed one of the teens, permanently maimed the other teen, and the third ran off. The teen that was killed was only 16 but was constantly in trouble with the law and was on house arrest with an ankle bracelet when he and his buddies committed this crime. So let me ask you this Mr. liberal how would you handled that? I guess your only choice would be to roll over and let them take your life, and leave your wife widowed, and your kids fatherless, But hey you make your point in that scenario of not believing in hand guns. Oh, by the way that 65 was found innocent and released of any charges. At least here in Pennsylvania our government realizes the importance of self protection, and we don’t have to rely on government for that in and emergency.

      What I’m about to say is not intended at be pejorative or insulting, but…

      Your arguments about militia and firearm technology are textbook arguments right out of “Arguing With Idiots.” (Again, it probably sounds like I’m insulting you, but I’m not. It’s just the title of the book.)

      The 2nd Amendment is pretty straightforward. It means what it means, technological advances or not. Is your shotgun short enough to use indoors? (Now, do you _really_ own guns? Or are you just saying that for credibility?) Can you move your long guns around your hallways and doorways quickly? Try it out sometime. That’s why myriad honest, decent citizens have handguns. They’re easy to move around indoors for home defense. I don’t need to tell you that, with most garments, it’s pretty hard to conceal a shotgun or rifle. What if something happens when you’re out and about? My liberal friends (yeah, we can have the conversations without hating each other) argue that the chances are nill that something would happen and you’d need to use a handgun. Even so, I wouldn‘t be able to live with myself if something happened to my family and I wasn’t able to defend them. I hope the stats are in my favor and it never happens, but still – I take my role as a protector seriously. If you want to say that that’s me “talking big,” fine. Label me however you want. I love my family.

      Now, how the heck do you intend to take handguns from people yourself? Spea

      You are sadly uninformed, probably deliberately so by limiting your news sources to the liberal mainstream outlets. Ordinary law-abiding citizens with handguns thwart crimes and criminals EVERY DAY in this country, but the Leftist media won’t report this because it goes against their agenda. Just think, if criminals had the sense that just about every sane and law-abiding citizen who wanted to carry did so, the crime rate would plummet. Keeping citizens from exercising their 2nd Amendment rights is an open invitation to criminals to victimize them. You are also incorrect about the Constitution; it does not limit the bearing of arms to militia groups, and the Supreme Court has so held. But again, your ignorance is showing. If the fascists like Obama and Holder decide they are going to take your guns away (and they won’t stop there), you can kiss your hunting rifles goodbye. You need to educate yourself, Bucko. Do you realize that most of the anti-gun politicians and celebrities either carry or have armed bodyguards. Hypocrites.

      We don’t know who the guy in the video is, he could be a stressed out family member who simply wasn’t thinking straight. Other than that, what he did was stupid.

      On your comments about the Second Amendment, you need to look at the context in which it was written and the commentary about it from the people who wrote it. It was written at a time when the “Militia” was considered all law abiding adult males or citizenry, as it is in Switzerland to this day. The phrase “well regulated” meant WELL ARMED. And the phrase “free state” would’ve been used to mean a state of freedom. SO using those definitions “A well regulated militia, being necessary for the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms“ would mean ”A well armed citizenry, being necessary to the security of a state of freedom, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.” The Second Amendment was written by men who had just fought an 8 yr bloody war against a dictator and wanted to insure that their descendents had the means to protect their hard won freedom. One of the founding fathers even said that the greatest reason for the Second Amendment was to allow the people to protect themselves from those who would impose tyranny upon them, including their own government. That hardly sounds like they intended for the government to be the only ones with guns. Thomas Jefferson even said that the Tree of Liberty must be fed with the blood of patriots and tyra

      “The Constitution shall never be construed….to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms” (Samuel Adams, Debates and Proceedings in the Convention of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, 86-87)

      “Americans have the right and advantage of being armed – unlike the citizens of other countries whose governments are afraid to trust the people with arms.” (James Madison, The Federalist Papers #46 at 243-244)

      “What, Sir, is the use of a militia? It is to prevent the establishment of a standing army, the bane of liberty…. Whenever Governments mean to invade the rights and liberties of the people, they always attempt to destroy the militia, in order to raise an army upon their ruins.” (Rep.

The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any bands of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States” (Noah Webster in ‘An Examination into the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution’, 1787, a pamphlet aimed at swaying Pennsylvania toward ratification, in Paul Ford, ed., Pamphlets on the Constitution of the United States, at 56(New York, 1888))

      “Congress have no power to disarm the militia. Their swords, and every other terrible implement of the soldier, are the birthright of an American… The unlimited power of the sword is not in the hands of either the federal or state government, but, where I trust in God it will ever remain, in the hands of the people” (Tench Coxe, Pennsylvania Gazette, Feb. 20, 1788)

      @Damn the taxes

      Your assertion that the second amendment was meant only for the preservation of militias and hunting is entirely inaccurate. Try reading the writings of some of the founders, and you will find that the right to self defense was something they held dear. They also hoped to ensure that the government would be too afraid of the citizens to be tyrannical. They knew that an unarmed populace is a helpless populace.

      “What country can preserve its liberties if its rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms.” – Thomas Jefferson

      “To preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of the people always possess arms, and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them.” – Richard Henry Lee, Virginia delegate to the Continental Congress.

      “The best we can hope for concerning the people at large is that they be properly armed.” – Alexander Hamilton

      “That the said Constitution shall never be construed to authorize Congress to infringe the just liberty of the press or the rights of conscience; or to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms” – Samuel Adams

      “Arms in the hands of individual citizens may be used at individual discretion in private self-defense.” – John Adams.

      There are plenty more. Please educate yourself before pretending to know what the founders were thinking.

      Well to begin with, he went all the way back to his vehicle and got his firearm. Then presented it where they could see it. Even with a concealed carry permit this would be illegal. The only time you’re allowed to actually pull a firearm would be in a case that you fear for your life and using the weapon is your only solution.

    Aggravated assault? He didn’t ever point the gun at anyone. Seriously folks, the press shows up with cameras in a neighborhood where a man may have been murdered and they are trying to ask the family and friends (who are suspects in the case) about what happened and you expect to be safe? The guy might have been pissed as all get out and he told you to leave his neighborhood and his friend‘s property while he was absent and you didn’t listen to him. He could have just as easily run you over with that explorer he was driving, but you didn’t charge him with assault for driving up to you did you?

    I’m not saying that he acted completely rationally or in a civil manner, but he is human, just like everyone else and sometimes good people get pushed around so much that they explode. If she would have just said okay, we’re leaving, it would have defused the situation on the spot. I’ve seen officers in alot of states do worse when someone is taking video footage of them. Some have even leveled weapons on people for taking their video. Now, understanding the weapons safety rules, the second of which is never point a weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot, I’d say this man is not guilty of anything except not wanting to be filmed. If he would have aimed on the reporter, that is a whole other ball game, but just showing that you have force is not using force.

      So many things wrong with this statement. You don’t have to point a gun for the charge to be assault. It’s called “brandishing.” Look it up, genius. He physically assaulted the cameraman, he used his vehicle to block a PUBLIC street, then he want back and got a gun and told them they had better leave…which has “or else” implied. That fits the definition of aggravated assault in Arkansas:

      § 5-13-204 (a)(2) Displays a firearm in such a manner that creates a substantial danger of death or serious physical injury to another person

      It was not HIS street it was a public street. It was not even HIS property, which they were not on. He had no right to assault the cameraman, he had no right to tell them to leave, and he had no justification for brandishing a firearm while doing it.

    If a cop had been around, this guy could have been taken care of in one of two ways.

    1. On seeing this dolt, the cop pulls his weapon and tells him once to drop his gun. If he drops it, the cop take him and the gun away. Goofy’s license to carry is revolked for all time, along with his right to even own a gun.

    2. Same scenario as about, but Goofy doesn’t drop his gun. The cop applies the legendary double tap in the center of Goofy’s chest. Video of incident is put out nation wide, so other idiots understand that, if you pull out your gun, it will be assumed that you’re going to use it. If a cop or a good citizen who‘s packin’ is on the scene, he may blow your head off…for the good of everyone.

      Yep….. Just what we need. Another idiot with a gun. Prople like the idiot the article is about makes it hard on the rest of us that are law abiding, gun owning citizens. There‘s way too many people out there that’ll say ALL guns and people that own them are BAD.

      The CC licensing format needs to be looked at to weed out mentally incompetant fools…. BEFORE it reflects & affects the rest of us!

      Yes and some of those stupid people that slip through the cracks and carry a gun are law officers. Some also have a chip on their shoulder because they have a gun and a better than you attitude.

    That was almost as bad as the kid that drew a picture of a gun. All they saw was a person that arned himself. It wasn’t pointed at anyone. The reporter just kept her mouth going. Stay off private property! Just report the facts but leave neighborhoods alone. Quit bothering neighbors. Wow!!! Never thought I would think this way. Sorry!!!!

      I agree. He never pointed the weapon and he repeatedly told them to leave the property. We should not have to treat grown adults like children and have to tell them multiple times to do the same thing and then start counting down. The only thing they could say was assault was him pushing the camera away and I’m not sure of Arkansas law, but in alot of states you cannot film someone without their explicit permission. You can look up on YouTube and see hundreds of police officers acting worse than this man every day of the year. I‘ve even seen one where a cop follows a cameraman 1000’ down the road and speeds across oncoming lanes of traffic through an intersection nearly running a man over and he didn’t go to jail for assault.

      Well, Once again SGTB, You are completely and laughably misinformed! Not only are there NOT a lot of states that require explicit permission to film or photograph someone, there are a grand total of ZERO states that have any such law. I have an absolute, constitutionally protected, right to film or photograph you or anyone else. That being said, there are some restrictions on my right to film or photograph, but in general, my rights to photograph or film you are many, and your right to privacy are few. Even on your own property.

      I have noticed that every single post you make here is against the main view of this site. You rag on it and say were all stupid etc, etc…
      Why don’t YOU move to Korea and stop coming here if it is so bad! I have never understood people like you. Do you sit in front of your television and endlessly complain about how stupid the show is that happens to be on? NO! You turn the channel. You leave. Why don’t you just leave and go to a site that you would obviously enjoy? There are plenty out there.

      Yeah, true. The reporter said all she wanted to do was get the details. The courts will get the details. All the media wants to do is get the scoop on other stations. The boy was wrong for pulling the gun. I’m not defending that. It‘s the media that’s the problem. The media is not the police. That would be like me or you showing up at the house with a camera and saying we just wanted to get the details so we could tell our coworkers, friends and neighbors what happened.

      So should the Marines not let their weapons show when going into a war zone until they are going to use them? Should police carry concealed so that we don’t feel threatened by their ownership of a gun? You argument has failed logic written all over it. The way I was taught is that just showing the gun offers you another route to diffuse a situation without having to use it or any other violence. Now, I personally feel that if you aim a weapon at someone (which this man did not) then you are saying that you are willing to shoot them in consistency with the second weapons safety rule. So showing that you have a gun is not “pulling” a gun on someone. It is only showing that you are serious about your position, in this case that would be that the reporter and cameraman need to leave the property.

      No, YOUR argument is full of failed logic. What a moron. You‘re equating a citizen pulling a gun to our armed forces and police having a gun and you think it’s a fair comparison. They carry a gun as part of their profession. It wasn‘t even this guy’s house. Besides, if he’s a big enough idiot to pull a gun on a CAMERA CREW then he will pull one on anyone.

      The best way to threaten a journalist is with citizen journalism. If you can film police & that makes some feel threatened, just imagine if you filmed a journalist at work?

      Instead of doing thing s like citizen’s arrest do citizen journalism. Technology is making it cheaper. If you scoop them, then their cruddy news organization will with er one the vine.

      @ bible quotin, I am a Marine and a citizen and I see no reason why a citizen should not have the right to have a gun with them. What’s more, there is no reason why anyone should have to put up with invasive filth like news anchors and cameras flooding their neighborhood. Further, this man did not use his gun or point it at anyone. Sure, he was pissed off and his body was in an aggressive stance, but he never aimed or even pointed the gun in their general direction. So in fact, this is absolutely no different than a military member or police officer carrying a weapon on their hip and being mad.

      People like you are the kind of RINO and neocon groupies that will just sit by and watch as our rights are taken away; or worse, you will be the ones cheering and clapping when they lead this man off to prison where he will go from a normal person who was pissed off for a moment and dealt with a situation a little harshly, to a man who no longer cares about you or your society because you decided that his actions merited years of his life go to waste in a jail cell surrounded by real criminals and gangs. It really is a wonder that more men coming out of our prison system don’t just fly off and start killing rampages when they are released from custody. And it is all thanks to people like you.

      Every time the left doesn’t like a word they come up with a multi-word euphemism.

      Your posting name is awfully long. You are every but a leftist troll as “Damn the Taxes – Full Speed Ahead”

      There are conservatives & libertarians on her. On occasion they have disagreements. Sometimes they have hard words & sometimes they reconcile. you on the other hard merely mock day in & day out.

      Go back to Media Matters or similar place. You can be as happy as David Brock. Notice how David has money, power & respect & is still a very, very unhappy person. Such a life is in store for you. You have learned the wrong lessons.
