White man pulls gun while confronting black college students, police investigating

Source: NBC News

The Tallahassee Police are investigating allegations by four black students at Florida A&M University that a white man brandished a gun and harassed them at an off-campus apartment complex.

The weekend altercation, which was captured in a social media video, shows a man in a baseball cap denying the students entry to the building and elevator in the Stadium Centre residence before pulling out a gun.

According to the police report, the incident occurred at 12:30 a.m. Saturday and is being investigated as an aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, without intent to kill.

Isaiah Butterfield, a junior at Florida A&M who filmed the incident, told NBC News that he and his friends were waiting to be let into the building by another friend, a resident of the complex, when the man approached them.

He ended up getting fired from his job. The company put out their statement, it's down near the end of the article.

On a Facebook event titled “Arrest and Fire Don Crandall!” an account for his employer, Baymont by Wyndham Tallahassee Central, announced that Crandall had been fired as general manager.

The only way to stop crazy bastards is to publicly embarrass the crazy people. When they see they will be punished for being crazy they may TRY to control their basic urges to ATTACK people. Take their guns away and place them on a life time list of OFFENDERS banning them from owning guns........I am so glad nobody got hurt, killed, murdered....I would have been nice if they jerk was attacked, hurt, injured, etc......
