Oregon wildfires: Woman seen holding suspected arsonist at gunpoint
The woman said she won’t be as nice should she face the same situation again
An Oregon woman was captured on video holding a suspected arsonist at gunpoint on Saturday after she allegedly caught him on her property carrying only matches.
“Get on the floor, right now, face down! What are you doing on my property?” Cast shouts at the man. “Did you light anything on fire?”
When the man tells her he was “just passing through,” she asks why he is holding matches. The man tells her the matches were for smoking, but he later admitted he had no cigarettes. Cast holds him at gunpoint until police arrive.
Amid accusations that the video was fake or staged, Cast wrote on Facebook that the incident “truly did happen and there is nothing fake about it.”
“I will tell you something though if I need to do this again to protect my family and my neighbors, I will in a heartbeat do it again, except this time I will not be as nice as I was.”

UPDATE Des Moines police identify 16-year-old killed in shooting police say was justified
The Des Moines police have identified the teenager who died in an early morning shooting on the city’s north side. Police said the shooter acted in justifiable self-defense.
Officers were dispatched to the 1400 block of 13th Street, between Clark Street and Forest Avenue at about 5:45 a.m. The caller reported that he had been approached by two armed teenagers who attempted to rob him and he shot them in self-defense, according to police.
Authorities said detectives learned that both teens were armed with handguns and approached the victim and demanded that he empty his pockets. The robbery victim, a concealed weapon permit holder, drew his weapon and shot both of the suspects.
No Score.
Next time, lose the video camera first.

How many REMF ossifers were doing their damndest to confiscate the P08s when they were loading the GIs on the Troop Ships for the return ride to CONUS. Papa had told his Sister they were so busy looking for those and SS Head insignia, that they missed the Walther and holster he had rat holed. Older brother gots that now.
A whole lot of REMFs in WWII were doing that kind of thing, it seems.
Dad still got home with a bunch of souvenirs.
I remember those mail order Stoeger .22 lugers you could buy through Popular Science magazine back in the 50’s.
