Neighbor complaining about noise gets gun pulled on him

When a man in an Aurora condo complex heard someone blasting music and making laps at 1:30 a.m., he went outside to do something about it. But as FOX31's Erika Gonzalez reports, what happened next made him rethink his actions.

Pulling a gun on a elderly man? What a huge coward move

[@NicholasBurgers]

You see homeless is a problem then u comment something that makes ww3 a nessi city

[@VolkXue]

you think this is odd in America today? lol Some of your politicians should start using "more guns, less people!" as a campaign slogan in this jacked up joke

[@TruthB7Told]

Whatever, OLD White European Americans have been and are some of the MOST VIOLENT, group this country has EVER seen! Next, thing you are going to tell us, is that cops, aren't criminals.

[@sweetsongstress7398]

Buddy, at your age, you’d think you would’ve known… nothing good happens after midnight on the street😳

Why does it have to be that way though

[@denvercct9665]

Facts

[@billredding2000]

True, but this is liberal/Democrat-run Denver, he's probably a liberal/Democrat Biden/Harris voter, and anti-gun liberal as well. He lives in city that he helped create with other voters of his ilk. And was unarmed approaching possibly armed people. Completely naive/clueless...don't know how he lived this long. No sympathy for him here. -- BR

[@grammadee94]

He shouldve called the police in the first place!

[@R-U-KiddingMe]

Here is a buck...go out and buy yourself a clue. Unless it is murder one or a serious felony police no longer show up to such complaints.

[@SpartacusColo]

@@R-U-KiddingMe They'll show. But it's at the bottom of the pile of calls to attend.

There should be no problem with politely asking someone to turn their music down.

[@user-bo4gw1xj4u]

You start a confrontation it may not end how you planned, he did not sound polite, let the police decide who is in the right.

[@rjintheusa1163]

@@user-bo4gw1xj4u I wouldn't be very happy about someone blaring music outside my home in the wee hours of the morning. This gentleman had every right to go outside and confront them on their stupid behaviour, maybe if someone did that from the beginning they wouldn't be acting like entitled fools. The confrontation was started when the man child took offense with being told he was acting like a fool. Let the police decide? You are a person who doesn't live in reality.

[@MilePost106]

You call the police first and never approach a vehicle at 1:30 at night.

[@Hexnilium]

Where's the mugshots though? They got arrested for brandishing a weapon and making terroristic threats, right?

[@imthebest4957]

There's no being a nice neighbor anymore. Just call the cops, that's what they're paid for

[@billredding2000]

Right...in a liberal/Democrat-run city like Denver, you want the cops to do WHAT now? That's funny... -- BR

[@oldcop18]

As a retired cop I agree. Don’t risk life or limb, dial 911 and stay safe.

[@mattp4079]

For the culture.

[@VolkXue]

@@user-dw1ls3rp1l no, but the really loud systems that people would do the kinda thing you're talking about isn't really a thing today. To be honest the only person i see driving around listening to really loud music today is my 50 some year old neighbor.

Great Job Stan and great Aurora Pd

[@davidromero2525]

Pulling guns is just such a weak move, people can’t stand to lose an argument or a fight it’s sad. Music/culture got these kids thinking they Tony yayo

[@centralscrutinizer7374]

He should have called the police first and never confront idiots.

[@tomcat6735]

Aurora police triages the 911 calls and even then they can't come right away. Whats worse is Denver police and fire are even more overwhelmed. Have neighbors back you up if the threat is deadly for witness and security. This man could have a different outcome and was lucky.

[@thebastardgift]

Never walk up to a car with people in it that you don't know, and you should NEVER walk up to a car, in the dark no less, when the people could be dangerous. Do NOT ask your neighbors to put their lives on the line for your careless behavior. That man was mighty lucky but, in this day and age, for him to do what he did... he was stupid lucky.

You never walk up on those fools like that.The loud music one in the morning tells you they are high and have guns.

[@eligebrown8998]

At least you tried doing something. If you would've called for just a noise complaint the cops would have never came. Nice of the criminals to show up for the cops though.

Okay, the cops caught them red-handed. What's the penalty for brandishing a gun in public? Probably nothing these days.
