In reply to the discussion: John Fetterman, Lt. Governor of Pennsylvania, now running for Senate! FANTASTIC!! [View all]Blue_true
(31,261 posts)16. He was re-elected after that incident with 85% of the Black vote.
They guy that he pulled the gun on was later arrested for a violent domestic abuse situation and then later did something that has him in prison. I believe you will have a hard time making a hero out of a guy like that.
Should Fetterman have pulled the gun? No, he should have used a camera and take a picture of the guy, then have police handle it if they found that a crime had been committed during the time/date that the photo of the guy was taken.
