Arizona – -(Ammoland.com)- Protesters blocked the street in the central west end of St. Louis.
They surrounded a minivan containing a single white male, and jumped on the hood. The driver of mini-van took evasive action, spilling the hood jumper into the street.
He drew a firearm while apparently calling police. One of the protesters claimed that the man struck one of the people who were blocking the street, and called the police. There were no reports of an ambulance called to the area.

Notice that the person in the street is the man who was on the hood of the minivan. It appears that the back window of the van has been broken.
Defending minivan driver on the phone with defensive firearm ready. St. Louis Post-Dispatcher David Carson was on the scene and took these pictures and posted them on twitter. Notice the cell phone, finger off the trigger, pistol not pointing at anyone, and the alert condition of the driver. He appears to know what he is doing.
Only days ago, people banged on a car, and attacked the driver of the car with hammers, killing him.

About Dean Weingarten;
Dean Weingarten has been a peace officer, a military officer, was on the University of Wisconsin Pistol Team for four years, and was first certified to teach firearms safety in 1973. He taught the Arizona concealed carry course for fifteen years until the goal of constitutional carry was attained. He has degrees in meteorology and mining engineering, and recently retired from the Department of Defense after a 30 year career in Army Research, Development, Testing, and Evaluation.
He had every right to shoot to kill and should have. That is the only thing these people understand. They are cowards and when you defend yourself with deadly force they run like the coward they are.
Driver did hot discharge the firearm so NO deadly force was used.
Though his finger was not on the trigger, to describe this man as being in control is a stretch of the truth at best. In the event of drawing a weapon, the question needs to be asked “what led to the escalation to deadly force?” By deadly force, I am refering to both the weapon (his right to personal protection) and driving through a crowd of what I can only assume is a diverse group of mostly young protesters exhibting their rights under the constitution. The Town & Country van was NOT the only vehicle to pass through the area… Read more »
Get attacked then messed with by the cops such good treatment of citizens. Punks have no respect of others property . I lost my patience for thieves and vandals 35 years ago , muzzle first is my motto. And see armed man is not a victim
Hopefully, the Bosnians will start doing some ethnic cleansing. I’m sure they’d see a reduction in this sort of activity.
Has anyone researched and discovered the final outcome of this?

Has the “reporter” been ordered to take a mental compentency evaluation test?
Did any of the people causing damage to this persons vehicle say “hands up, don’t shoot” when they saw the gun?
Looks like Sambo came out to investigate !
This guy demonstrated the correct way to handle getting cought up in a safari park, never get out of your vehicle while surrounded by animals always be armed, and don’t stop.
Democrats in the past have stated that Republicans use “code words or dog whistles” that refer to “minorities”. Don’t you think the Democrats are doing the same thing when they talk about the “Community”?
