Mr. Hendrickson is right. These incidents should be reported. I was a
deputy public defender here in California for 31 years, but I now spend my
summers im Itasca County, MN. These people usually hurt someone eventually.
If he says he's going to shhot you, or kill you, believe him. Get away and
notify law enforcement. If he made a specific threat or if he hurt or tried to
do so, then file a complaint, request prosecution and be prepared to go to
court if necessary.
I'm not familiar with Minnesota law, but in California, threatening
people can be treated as a felony. Pulling a gun on someone is illegal in all
states.
This guy needs to be stopped. Sure, helped, but in a secure facility.
He will hurt or kill someone. Please, report all these incidents. You will
be saving someone from serious harm.
Good birding,
Peter Dullea,
Senior Deputy Public Defender
for Santa Barbara County, Retired
Lompoc, California
