Police: NH radio DJ threatened with a shotgun over Hannaford parking space

http://bangordailynews.com/2013/12/04/news/nation/police-nh-radio-dj-threatened-with-a-shotgun-over-hannaford-parking-space/

MANCHESTER, N.H. — In the vast open spaces of the East Side Plaza parking lot, Craig Driggers said he never dreamed of finding himself in a real-life “Make my day” moment staring down a shotgun-toting motorist unhappy with his parking.

Under any other circumstance, Driggers, 38, said he probably would have just driven away and avoided trouble.

<snip>

That’s when the driver reached over and held up a shotgun, Driggers said.

“He very clearly showed it to me and said something to the effect, ‘How well do you think it will go for you?,” Driggers recounted. Driggers said the man never pointed the shotgun at him and put the weapon back down.

Hooray for gun freedumb!

the incident. The handicapped guy of course should not have a shotgun in his car and he should not have shown it to the 'DJ'. I wonder why the first guy threatened the guy with the shotgun anyway. Was he just being a tough guy.

I guess I should not have said he started it, but he escalated it with his threat to the other driver. I don't know if his mother was in his vehicle by that time or not. Obviously, the other guy acted aggresively when he saw a vehicle without handicapped tags taking up two handicapped parking spots and was not listening when the DJ said he would soon be leaving.
I would never threaten another driver because you do not know how they will react.

...and the guy he threatened (who made it clear that carrying out that threat was a really bad idea but didn't actually commit any violence) is the bad guy?

Pure. Comedy. Gold.

Never change, jpak.
